| Impressed with Tubes Hi KIt,Newbie is right on target, you have to weigh all of the possibilities, especially price, which is the biggest factor for most of us. I can vouch for the Rogue 90 power amp whioh I owned for about 4 years before selling it last year. It is a... | |
| Question re input Sensitivity and 110 db speakers I am curious to know which speakers are you using that have that sensitivity. I know Klipschorns were rated at about 102db, but 110db completely blows me away. | |
| 6SN7 Tung Sol Reissue Mullard 12AX7 any comments? Has anyone compared the sound of the new reissues to original vintage tubes mentioned? Isn't that what we are all aftger? Who cares if it only looks like the original! I think Mcfarland hit the nail on the head, salesmanship and marketing. | |
| SACD releases Fruff,At present, Classical music seems to be the only future for SACD! | |
| Springsteen's "Magic" on vinyl, opinions? I am actually glad to have confirmation from you guys that this CD is poorly recorded. Magic, the song is not bad, but the rest of it is pretty poor. I thought I had some bad tubes in my amp/preamp until I played Wilco's "Sky blue sky" to confirm ... | |
| Sealed MOFI's on eBay Psacanli, I'm playing it on a Meridian 508.24. | |
| Sealed MOFI's on eBay I have the MFSL copy of "Who are you?" on CD and I think it sounds too congested and muddy. I also prefer the mass produced version of Dark side of the Moon to the MFSL version because the dynamics seem to be stunted on the MFSL version. I still b... | |

| humming in my system Silly as it may seem, I used a GE 2-3 grounding adaptor on my power amp power cord and the hum is gonnnneeee!! Cost is about $3.00 for a two pack in staples. Maybe your problem is more complex, but for $3.00, worth a try!! | |
| Tube amp location Mrjstark, Schipo is right, they make cooling fans specifically for these types of situations. At this point, let's just make sure that Jack doesn't use his speakers as a platform for his speakers!! | |
| Tube Preamp Isolation suggestions To escalate on what Rlawry stated, Bright Star Audio makes some very good platforms that contain an air bladder inside. I have two, one for my tubed preamp and one for my CD player. I am pleased with them, they work very well, are pleasing to the ... | |
| Tube hiss - any idea what's causing it? I just had a similar problem and it was not the power tubes, it was the driver tubes. It can't hurt to get a new rectifier tube(s) as you will probably need them one day anyway whether it is the problem or not. If the hiss is only coming from one ... | |
| EAR 864 V1 V3 Tube Type To build on what Fleschler stated, the ECC83/12AX7 has a gain of 100 while the 5751 tube has a gain of 70 which is a decrease of 30%. This means that while the 5751 will probably be less strident and possibly more transparent, your power amp will ... | |
| Surge protection for SF Line 3 Hi Spaz,I can vouch for a Furman Elite 15PF which I use for my equipment. It will not limit the current to your power amp and I never found it to have a sonic character of it's own.It's cost is about $600.00. Just have a review at www.audioadvisor... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? Lot's of great guitarists mentioned. Hendrix and Clapton are my favs, but I'd like to throw in Alvin Lee of Ten Year's After. |
