| Audio Research Sold One of the potential issues for all high end buyers in this market is the ongoing viability of the company/manufacturer that they are investing in. Many (most?) of the high end audio companies are really just small potatoes when it comes to produ... | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout The shape of the cartridge body should have nothing to do with the tracking of warps or the tracking in general, IF the set up of the tonearm is correct along with the cartridge/tonearm compliance etc, IME. | |
| The Great Cartridge Shootout Maybe I missed something, but please explain how the shape of a cartridge body has anything to do with its tracking ability? | |
| Chasing down the problem @mijostyn I was wondering about that...how long the repair will last. So far, so good. These toggle switches are still available and I have bought several replacements if needed. It is no easy task to replace them and my tech feels it would be a ... | |
| Subwoofer failure Never had a driver fail in a sub, usually it is the amp module that gives up the ghost. I have had this problem with several of my prior Subs. | |
| Chasing down the problem Thanks again, Ralph. This is pretty much what my tech did when he received the preamp, except he did remove the top and sprayed from behind onto the offending switch. Seems to have solved the issue. When i told Ken that is what was the issue, he w... | |
| Chasing down the problem @atmasphere Thanks Ralph. I did exactly as you recommended and followed this protocol. This is what ultimately lead me to the preamp, but in my case, since the issue was intermittent, and for some reason did not happen to show up when I changed am... | |
| Chasing down the problem @mijostyn If you read the thread, you would see that the Nordost cable was not at fault! Good thing I did not get my soldering iron out...... | |
| Audio Research preamps EXCESSIVE OPERATING COSTS Considering a tube product..basically of any kind, that will be left on 100% of the time and utilized for HT is NOT a great idea, IMHO. To then question the fact that the tubes will age more rapidly than if one where to use a ss piece, seems a lit... | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- Thanks guys, but like I stated in my OP, I dont want to consider Class D amps, at this time. @atmasphere curious as to what you would suggest in Class D that rivals tubes for smoothness and detail, I can only think of one amp that this may apply ... | |
| Tung Sol KT 170 I looked again at the spec sheet that was linked. What's up with all of the redacting?? | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- @isochronism Good to know. | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @cleeds I agree with this 100%.Interestingly, in the tube re-seller world, there seems to be a propensity to label tubes as NOS. These very tubes are in fact used and measure as if new. I guess if one questions how many tubes from the 1950’s -1970... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? Many of these tubes are what are considered 'pulls'. IOW, they are tubes that have been used for years in some piece of gear and have been removed to now be sold as NOS tubes. Nothing wrong with this IMO, so long as the tube is tested and correctl... | |
| Opinions wanted on cantilever alignment @tomic601 I don't think the Kleos has a Lambda option...yet. |
