| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Bill,How much did you spend for a high quality circuit breaker in your various modification projects? What case did Paul Weitzel make in favor of circuit breakers ?Charles | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Yes, I'm sure there's a quality hierarchy among circuit breakers as exist with fuses, resistors, capacitors, tubes, cables etc. Nelson Pass could offer a compelling reason for circuit breakers. On the other hand some of the finest sounding compone... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Al,Thanks for providing the links, I'll read them later today. I realize that there is a pro and con argument that can be made for virtually any choice made regarding audio products. It'd be interesting to know what factors cause Nelson Pass to ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Bill,Since you've used breakers in your numerous modification projects I'd assume that it is relatively easy to accomplish. If this is true why the continued dominant use of fuses in audio components rather than breakers?Charles | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Well I wonder why with the touted sonic advantages (of a breaker vs fuse) their use isn't more widespread in higher end audio components. I'd be very receptive to using them. They don't appear to be any more complex than fuses.Charles | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Given the increased sound quality I hear with better fuses I'd be very curious to hear my components with breakers in placed of my SR fuses and listen for what differences they make.Charles | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... nkonor,That makes sense for Pass Lab to take that approach. There certainly are manufacturers who recognize the negatives effects of fuses and they simply avoid them when feasible. I can accept a hierarchy of no fuse >premium fuse >stock fu... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them? That speaker with Duelund quality parts would retail for 35 K easily. Bill that is quite a complex crossover.Charles | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them? Hi Bill,On the one hand you certainly have to admire the talent of Robert Lee using very low cost passive parts and getting such truly high quality sound. A quite talented builder with excellent design and execution of the Cresendo.However I do se... | |
| Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers Light loading like many audio techniques has to tried on an individual basis, results will vary depending on circumstances. My amplifier has 8 and 16 ohm taps and my speakers are 14 ohm nominal. The 16 ohm tap sounds better than using the 8 ohm ta... | |
| low power tube amp Hi timber77,Yes, the distinction between SET and SEP was explained earlier in this thread. The actual tube in this amplifier is an 829b. Charles | |
| low power tube amp Klee123,If the Focal speakers don't work out you should really consider looking at more efficient and easy to drive speakers. I think that this 829 SEP amplifier you have is special. The right speaker match would allow the amplifier to shine t... | |
| low power tube amp Klee123, I’m unfamiliar with this double tetrode tube. I’m aware of the company Finale Audio and they have an established and good reputation. This particular amplifier seems to be an all out effort toward high quality. I get the feeling that this... | |
| low power tube amp Klee123, This is why I asked earlier in this thread if your amplifier utilizes NFB as this will lower the amplifier output impedance and likely making it less susceptible to widely varying speaker impedance loads. Problem is that NFB can have adve... | |
| low power tube amp Klee123, AL has provided you with with excellent technical information and explanation. Several questions.What speakers are you presently using with your 20 watt amplifier?Does this amplifier utilize NFB?Have you any knowledge of the power supply ... |
