| 4 speakers in a large room If you already have a stereo amp to use stack them tweeter to tweeter (wired in series) and position them to cross towards the middle of the space (for starters). Series wiring would be amplifier + to speaker 1 +, speaker 1- to speaker 2 +, speak... | |
| The new LSA Signature 50 Monitor "Disruptive Product" This worked for me... http://v2.stereotimes.com/post/lsa-signature-50-loudspeakers-by-terry-london/ DeKay | |
| Should Audiogon forum dealers be held to a different standard? I can only think of one dealer who should have his cowbell confiscated. The others are great, IMO. DeKay | |
| Input, please Yes, RTV silicone as most are rated to 400 degrees F (some up to 600). As mentioned, just a few dabs. DeKay | |
| Speaker/Room Acoustic Problem If it works maybe pop for something really cool? DeKay | |
| Speaker/Room Acoustic Problem Tape some lightweight finished paper to the cloth ceiling (like wrapping paper) as an experiment. DeKay | |
| Vacuum Tubes - Chinese knock offs being sold as NOS? I understand your take/position, but if you only need a single you can purchase a properly tested Amperex/Holland one from Brent Jesse for $60, or so. Purchased gobs of good tubes on Ebay 20 years ago (as well as loaded tube caddies locally) for ... | |
| Musical Fidelity 550 supercharger monoblock fuse location? Here's one I found, but I can't see Jack on this screen when I enlarge it. https://www.tubecad.com/2008/12/blog0153.htm DeKay | |
| Musical Fidelity 550 supercharger monoblock fuse location? Per a quick Google it seems that the main fuse is located in the power cord on the UK version. I also read elsewhere (USA version?) that there are no user replaceable fuses (refer to a repair facility) which would make me think that they are loca... | |
| Vacuum Tubes - Chinese knock offs being sold as NOS? Dave: What amp/preamp will you be using them in and what type of sound are you looking for? If you are using the amp now - what tubes are in it? I've mainly only used them to drive power tubes if HiFi amps and also to drive Fender reverb units,... | |
| Vacuum Tubes - Chinese knock offs being sold as NOS? EBM: Do you have a preference - Jeff or Akbar? DeKay | |
| Desktop single-driver speakers? Was just re-researching these and am pleased to read that they worked out for you. Wish I had a pair (recently set up a CD based desk top system for my wife) and will research the little sub you are using. DeKay | |
| Interesting ASR review of small GR Research speaker kit The ASR review is (IMO) the equivalent of reviewing/measuring large Sound Lab's in a 4' x 6' room. I've used cheap 3" wide band speakers in a desk top situation (arm's length away) and they were pretty good. Mine were vintage Foster (later becam... | |
| New PrimaLuna versus used Audio Research preamp? Here a link to visually identifying the "DR" version. http://www.aca.gr/index/hiend/hiendArticles?row=1988 DeKay | |
| Vacuum Tubes - Chinese knock offs being sold as NOS? Petgo is most likely spot on. The market was flooded with these starting around 2002/2003 with pics of huge master cases (both in individual white boxes and boxless). I purchased 2 pairs from the UK (white boxes -w- black print/tubes wrapped in ... |
