| recommended speakers for SET amp? Mmccoy: The only affordable (in this case) speakers that come to mind, with efficiency and dimensions such as this, are the modern Klipsch models (probably get a better deal used) and also a speaker kit from hammerdynamics.com that retails for aro... | |
| Maintaining an Even Keel. Drubin: I felt the same way about it as we are talking about the very low mass of a CD, but it does make an audible difference (at least on my CAL Icon MKII and also on the new 9000ES than JIM "Whatjb" just set up). So from now on I will just chec... | |
| "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". |
