| How to deal with microphonic 300B tubes. Herbie's Tube Dampers wouldbe the first thing I'd try. Call Herbie first to find out which one's would work best with the KR's. I think the KR internal(and external)structure is more heavy duty than TJ's, WB's, etc.so may need a special version.I ... | |
| 10k 300B single ended amp, what should I choose? Hi Linkoping,It's great to hear you've already used a Jota because it is very hard to describe how AA amps.You might want to talk to Joe about their high powered Jota which uses the KR52BX tube. It puts out 40-50% more current than the Jota you us... | |
| 10k 300B single ended amp, what should I choose? I also have 97dB fullrange speakers , Cain & Cain IM-Bens.I've got Welborne DRD 300B monoblocks and the above mentioned 6 wpc Art Audio PX-25. The PX-25 is a far superior amp in term of drive, tonal richness/density, control, finesse, detail, ... | |
| Looking for a good phono preamp solid state... Looks like I made 2 mistakes...1) Not seeing that Mfs was looking in the sub-$500 rangeand2) Giving the impression that I was trying to be the "forum police" - I wasn't. Just thinking that he would get more answers in that forum because phono prea... | |
| Looking for a good phono preamp solid state... Well, this question would get a lot more answers in teh "Analog" forum, but you should do reasearch and look into the Graham Slee Era Gold mkV phono pre.I have it along with it's matching Elevator EXP "transformerless" steup unit for low output mo... | |
| Old Digital vs New digital. For those with Museatex dacs, try a Moray James digital cable. I just got mine yesterday and it is leagues ahead of the 6-7 other toslink and coax cables I've tried. And, if you haven't already, get Jon Wright(of Museatex) to upgrade the dacs to 2... | |
| Interesting paper on deep bass perception... Cool, all I need then is to pick up one of the digital crossovers. I've got a pair of matching 87dB/8-ohm passive subs driven by a Hafler DH-500 amp (250wpc). My mains are ~-3dB@40Hz. | |
| Interesting paper on deep bass perception... Very cool Greg,I'm still reading the paper, but would love to try the 3 speaker approach if I can find someone in the Los Angeles area with an extra sub and an active crossover. | |
| Are Horn Speakers good or bad or simply a complete joke? Tbg,Convention hall or jam packed hotel floors/rooms have to be the antithesis of proper listening conditions. The rooms are horrendous, sonically. AC Power is probably sludge. Ambient noise levels have got to be sky-high compared to home or actua... | |
| Are Horn Speakers good or bad or simply a complete joke? I suggest anyone curious about horns find an opportunity to hear PROPERLY setup Edgarhorn Titans w/ Seismic sub. If you can get by having 2.5 refrigerators siting in your listening room, they are devoid of any RINGING(wooden horns) whatsoever and ... | |
| Single Driver Horn vs Multi driver efficient spker You are right, the Beta version amp(integrated?) could very easily be the problem. Everything is SET/audio is a tradeoff and there is no free lunch. It's easy to get one factor right, but all of them take skill, experience, and/or money. The desig... | |
| Single Driver Horn vs Multi driver efficient spker Whoa, that's a cool speaker. Hemp cone material, serious cabinet construction. I'd love to hear it in my system.For those interested, here's the Omega Hemptone 8" webpage. Eight inch driver, 96dB, 20"x11"x14".You've got give up any type of compars... | |
| Single Driver Horn vs Multi driver efficient spker Punch - where does it come from?At what freq. does the "punch" happen?As I understand it, the actual "attack" or "leading edge" of a drum strike or percussive note, actually happens much further up the frequency range than the body of the note(s).... | |
| Single Driver Horn vs Multi driver efficient spker Hey Gmood1, I made a mistake...My IM-Bens use the FE-168E Sigma, not the FE-168 Sigma with wizzer cone. (side-by-side picture) I'm not sure how big of difference that makes sound wise, but there are significant physical differences and the specs a... | |
