| New tubes...far more power?? This amp design doesn't allow for manual biasing. As I said before, I don't know of any auto basing designs that allow for manual biasing..do you?? | |
| New tubes...far more power?? @dweller My amps are auto biasing, but they have no method to manual bias, I don’t know any auto bias amps that do. | |
| Questions on KT150 tubes I am now on my second set of KT150's in my Jadis amps. I noticed that the newer batch seem much more powerful than the originals. Quite odd.That, plus apparently there are very few tube testers out there that can actually test these tubes accurate... | |
| Tube tester...anyone own their own? I have checked out a few tube testers, but so far none can test the KT150 tube....which needs a 600 volt+ test. Anyone have any recommendations? | |
| MORE Esoteric problems @tvad Thanks for the update. That does indeed make one more comfortable with dealing with TAP. I think your experience with the price 'adjustment' is also interesting...unfortunately I suspect that a lot of times it is going to depend on the pa... | |
| New silversmith fidelium cable Wonder how the compare to Nordost, which is what I am currently using? | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. @fjblair. +1like I said before, it’s all music...and it’s all good. | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. @erik_squires When you listen to Coltrane, do you enjoy the music. If the answer is yes, then why attempt to disseminate why...if the answer is no...same point. Most folks have favorite genres and artists...and those that they totally dislike. Pe... | |
| New silversmith fidelium cable These cables look extremely interesting. I have admired Jeff Smith's designs when ever I have heard them. Only question I would have, is the way that they connect to the binding post...looks like a home audition on your amp and speaker end may be ... | |
| Are your speakers designed for your listening taste and hearing ability? @larry5729 Nice post. Agree 100%. The most important thing when shopping for speakers is to have a home trial...if at all possible, IMHO. The speaker has to have synergy not just with your upstream gear, but also your room. I also agree that dial... | |
| Are your speakers designed for your listening taste and hearing ability? @millercarbon. Did I hit a nerve...😬 | |
| Are your speakers designed for your listening taste and hearing ability? @kenjit Agree, mostly. However, I do think that there are some folks who can actually hear when the high frequencies are tipped up, or the hard metal dome is ringing like a bell. So, IMO, there are some things that are obviously wrong ( to those t... | |
| Anyone experienced the Luxman MQ-300 or/and The Air Tight ATM-300R? Best to audition both amps before purchase. 8 watts/ch is only going to go so far...and that is assuming that your speaker even has a mild impedance character across the board! Friend of mine has so called 'efficient' speakers--rated at 95db...yet... | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. @gosta LOL. That's not far from the truth! BUT consider this, every one of those notes was exactly on time..... | |
| Jeff Rowland to what? Nice to see that Jeff has apparently gone back to AB amps... |
