| Can a tube amp be damaged by a speaker switch? If you are confidant that you can properly use the correct switch consistently (and you will not have others using the setup) then go for it. If a speaker becomes disconnected (cat/dog/ferret whatever) while playing music and it's not noticed you... | |
| Ideas for Pre/Power $9000? If you like your speakers why sell/off load them? Because a poster here dissed them? Pick up a reasonably priced amp (hopefully better sounding to you than your previous receiver) and move on. To spend $9K on gear (based upon chatroom feedback)... | |
| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? "I will not be directly responding to retards and perverts, of whom there is quite a number here." Good to know... DeKay | |
| Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ? This pretty much explains the why of it... DeKay | |
| Ideas for Pre/Power $9000? Buying something inexpensive and well reviewed (to make the system operative) should not take much time and as it's inexpensive there is no rush/pressure to resell the unit. DeKay | |
| Ideas for Pre/Power $9000? The rule of thumb is to find speakers that you like and then pick an amp/electronics that synergize well with them. As you are sans an amp pick up a contemporary/decent "used" integrated amp (here @ A'Gon would be a good choice) for $1K or less a... | |
| Shindo Montrachet amp advice needed... The flip out cover for the AC fuse is located @ the top of the plastic IEC input on the back of the unit (just above where the power cord is inserted). Best to check the power cord @ both ends and the power source. DeKay | |
| True high-end Speakers need a midrange Mine do, mine do! However, they do not have woofers or tweeters. https://auctions.afimg.jp/c1062838564/ya/image/c1062838564.2.jpg DeKay | |
| BEST little know Jazz Album that you ever heard? I do not listen to much jazz, but enjoy "Mose Allison - Alive" recorded in a beach community South of where I live. Think is was done in the 80's, but it has a kind of Beatnik thing going on. DeKay | |
| EAT E-Glo Petit Here's a pic for reference of the ones offered now (the vintage ones I recall were an ugly brown/red rubber or had a silver metal housing with a rubber lining). https://www.psaudio.com/cdn/shop/products/Tube-Puller-1.png?v=1667322156 DeKay | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? Much of the time I suspect that the "hate" is directed more towards the person posting about the HE gear and not the gear itself (especially some repetitive posters with a single brand, or two, that they relentlessly post about). Then there are t... | |
| EAT E-Glo Petit Google "vacuum tube puller". Kind of like a solder sucker bulb with a wider mouth. Not certain if it will fit/squeeze in on your unit, but look @ the pics. DeKay | |
| NPS-Q45T on internal amplifier fuses Has anyone compared NPS-Q45T to Temuto MkII? DeKay | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please Try not to internalize it and you will. DeKay | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please Once there was a snail who was tired of being slow. He went out and bought a really fast sports car and had the dealer paint a big "S" on each side of it. Whenever someone saw him zooming past in his new car, they would say, "Hey, look at that S-... |
