| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” @ezstreams I, like you, am intolerant of any edge or harshness. I am also semi-retired and very much enjoying my increased music listening time. Congrats and best wishes. One thing I would suggest you do is read this review of your speaker. ... | |
| Retirement integrated amp for a “fiscal conservative” I owned that same Prima luna amp for a short while. I would agree that replacing 8 power tubes could get tiring. Before suggesting options to consider, I have a question for you. Did you ever find the pairing of this amp with your speakers to b... | |
| Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters Threads like this are like a breathe of fresh air. After giving a quick listen on the link you provided, I purchased the CD. Great well recorded music. Thanks for posting this and taking me outside of my mainstream. | |
| Has anyone here had any dealings with Tekton, particularly their subwoofers Looks like the OP vanished. Humm. Wonder what this could be about. Like we never have been down this road before. | |
| Has anyone here had any dealings with Tekton, particularly their subwoofers Not sure how those Double Impacts were set up, but in my dedicated audio room I have fantastic imaging and they float a very large and accurate soundstage. They exceeded the Magnepans I had at the time which were quickly sold once the DI's were d... | |
| rotel 1072 skipping Great suggestions. Most "laser failures" are not the actual laser but rather mechanical problems. I had a Rotel player many years ago with a swing arm laser that quit reading at the disc extremes. One drop of transmission fluid on the pivot bear... | |
| Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup I don't disagree with that. Measurements might help to predict certain aspects of music reproduction, but in the end the true test is your ears and the enjoyment you derive from your system. Good luck on achieving your goals. | |
| Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup In fact I did but your description was a bit ambiguous. But that is not the point. Much of the low impedance occurred with the bass drivers well below the crossover frequency. I suspect the bass drivers are very similar if not the same drivers. ... | |
| Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup AGAIN, read the review/measurements. It is NOT a 4 ohm speaker. At some frequencies it is just clearing 1 ohm! Amps need to control speakers, not the other way around. If you pair a tubed amp with this speaker, the Moab will be exerting its ... | |
| Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup Agreed. I enjoy both tubed and solid state systems, so no personal bias in that regard. After looking at those measurements, I can't imagine a tube amp being happy driving this speakers incredibly low impedance. Nothing wrong with wanting to tr... | |
| Tung-Sol 7581A......Wow!! That is what I have heard. My tube knowledge is limited but I believe I read that the plate dissipation is around 5 watts more than the average 6L6. Does that mean it would necessarily draw more current from the amps power supply? | |
| Tung-Sol 7581A......Wow!! I am interested in trying these tubes in my Erhard Ray SET. The output tube supplied is a 6L6. Does the 7581A present any problems/excessive demands on an amp designed for a 6L6? | |
| The rat’s nest of cabling. Large transformers in components. My discovery. I have always custom made all of my own cables for an installation that is neat as a pin and optimized to minimize EMI. | |
| REL speakon connection to amp vs speakers @pbomberg Funny you should ask. I spent some time last weekend making some custom cables for a pair of REL subs I just bought. The subs are to the outside and just a bit behind my speakers, so it made sense to make a short cable to hook up to ... | |
