| Rolling Tubes in the Atma-Sphere C-30 amp The use of GTB's in the last two rows was also mentioned to me by one of the Atma-Sphere resources. My guess is this may be due to the variants of 6SN7 (GT, GTA, GTB, WGT, etc.) tubes having different voltage specifications, but I am not certain.P... | |
| Top rated passive preamps Bent Audio Tap if you can find one. If you are a DIY type you can get all the parts from John Chapman at Bent Audio and build one yourself or have someone else build it. | |
| Rolling Tubes in the Atma-Sphere C-30 amp The problem with NOS 6SN7 tubes these days is the fact the desirable brands like the Tungsol Round Plates, Sylvania GTs, Raytheons, Ken Rads, RCA red base are becoming scarce. What you see on eBay is a crap shoot. Most of these tubes are not being... | |
| Rolling Tubes in the Atma-Sphere C-30 amp Sabai, the row closest to the listener for the driver tubes. | |
| Rolling Tubes in the Atma-Sphere C-30 amp I also own the S-30 amp. As for the power tubes I only use the stock tubes as supplied by Atma-Sphere. This is based on my conversation with Ralph as to the reliability of NOS 6AS7 tubes. Also, the version of the tube that is the slender bottle is... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I prefer the battery but like George cannot put my finger on exactly why. | |
| Top or best amps for merlin vsm I would say try the Atma-Sphere combo. However, if you already have an RM-10 you might be half way there. A former contributor to these forums, Pubul57 used the Atma-Sphere combo with his Merlin's. He also used an RM-10 paired with the Lightspeed ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Bill, want to hear something funny. You bought your RM-9 from my friend Warren. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I believe Audiogon member Dgarretson put an LDR volume control in his Atma-Sphere preamp. In fact he may have mentioned it in this thread somewhere. You might try pinging him. | |
| An impression of some phono stages So what is better? The phono stage that really lets you hear everything but might be a bit analytical. Or the phono stage that has more of own musicality to it but does add colouration.MordanteWhat you describe many of us ask ourselves. In this ca... | |
| Starting from Scratch -Please Help Pick 1 out of 3 I am curious. Why would you not consider an Atma-Sphere amp, such as the M-60 monoblocks, to go with the MP-1 preamp? Also, perhaps you should try contacting VAC directly and encourage them to contact your dealer. Seems strange VAC did not respond... | |
| RCA output on a turntable? I once had a Bang & Olufsen Beogram 3300 turntable with a built in phono section. All that was required was plugging in the captive RCA cable to a preamp input. Very convenient and surprisingly good sounding. However, while that was a feasible... | |
| Office partitions as sound panels Marqmike, here are a couple of links. These differ slightly but the concept is very similar. You can actually hire someone trained in this process as well to do the set up for you. I just followed the methods described in the forum posts. You will... | |
| Office partitions as sound panels The Audio Physic and Sumiko Master Set speaker set up guides have been very useful to me. In fact, as I have become more familiar with their processes and using one or a combination of both of these methods to first set up and adjust the speakers,... | |
| Top or best amps for merlin vsm Regarding the M-60s it is possible to run them with less output tubes per channel. For example you can remove two output tubes per side. Less power and less heat are the results, but in this configuration you should still have more power than an S... |
