| "All-in-one box system" that is High End DC: Find a beautiful, restored and nice sounding Art Deco table radio (tube of course) and forget about the 90% (just invest in a good antenna). My "quick" system for many years was a KLH Model 21 radio (early 60's), tuned to the local jazz or cla... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? JC, just make hard connections to Bruce's outlet and the component (skip the plug and IEC), I'm certain that he won't mind (unless there is a thunder storm). | |
| Maintaining an Even Keel. We just had a suggestion from Richard @ Vantage Audio (he is having difficulty posting to threads at this time) which is to extend (open) the tray on a front loader and then use a small level on it. Just be carefull that the tray does not sag when... | |
| Assemblage SET-300 Otto: Here is the manufacturer's link for the 300B kit. They also sell a new 300B tube, that I am not familiar with, but would like to try (I am big on specially selected late production Svetlana 300B's myself). The amp name should give you hits a... | |
| Maintaining an Even Keel. PS: The thanks should go to our member Whatjb, who seems to have a knack for getting back to the basics that we all learn and then forget about as we continue to absorb more complex knowledge on the hobby. | |
| Maintaining an Even Keel. Yes Jim: I agree that we are relying on the internal drive being mounted properly, but could think of no way to test this without removing the chassis cover. The basic approach that I took did make a nice improvement though, so I got lucky with th... | |
| Assemblage SET-300 Godd luck Otto. The only other inexpensive 300B kit that I am aware of (that just got a rave at AA) is from a Hong Kong manufacturer. I will post the link here, when I find it again. I think that it was new in the past week in AA's SET forum. | |
| Hardwood floors vs Carpet Khrys: Give it up. | |
| Digital Support Never mind. | |
| Break in period for power conditioners ? Let's get it right "Voudou", not "Voodoo". | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Hi Bruce: No, I am afraid of burning the home front down with any DIY PC that I would attempt (regardless of what wire was used). I also gave most of my extra cable to a friend to use as speaker wire and just have enough left for additional IC's (... | |
| FT Audio/ Passive Preamps - Comments? Mike: I don't use a preamp at all, so am just trying to preserve the sound that I do have. It's kind of an odd perspective when going from an SET that already has a volume pot as the different preamps that I have tried sound "way different" and co... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Doug, you forgot "zip". | |
| David Gray.. White Ladder... It's liesense (perty sure). Pleaze make note of it fer future refernce. If not, don't wurry about it, the Iowa cockuss (when it cums round) makes up fer all mispelins. | |
| Assemblage SET-300 Hi Otto: If you go to audioasylum.com and search under the SET forum, you should be able to find quite a bit of info on this unit. Not trying to brush you off, this is just where I find a lot of hits on tube gear especially kits and DIY stuff. |
