| Dual mono tube integrateds In not sure on this but it may be difficult to find a tube integrated that is truly dual mono? If you are talking about two power transformers, two power supplies and then the output transformers your talking about a heavy piece of gear. If they h... | |
| Melody & Onix Melody is the Chinese company that makes the equipment and Onix imports their gear and makes some changes and sells the stuff under their name. But only a few items. Melody has a full line of gear. I believe there are some reviews of Onix that tal... | |
| Rectifier tube keeps blowing The previous response is correct. You have an over current condition. Since you keep putting tubes in it, my guess is you don't have any experience with this kind of thing? Power supplies can be dangerous and if you don't know what your doing I wo... | |
| Now that "Black Gates" are no longer available, I've had good luck with the Panasonic TS series from Digi-key. I have used them on two different projects and I have been very happy with them. Here is a link. I usually get the ones with the lowest ESR. http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch... | |
| cayinA100 T tube amp It sounds like you are still getting to know your amp? You may want to give it a little time first and then roll some NOS or new tubes first and see what you think.Some integrated amps can be enhanced by using a nice preamp. The Jolida's are a goo... | |
| Gold Lions KT88 on Sonic Frontiers Power SE I have had tubes drift for awhile when they were new. I'm using Shuguang Treasures now and they also had some drift. After about 100 hours they settled in and have been solid since. As Newbee said try putting them in the other side and see if they... | |
| Upgrade Tube Integrated or Buy Separate Pre-amp? Meskandar if you know someone who does a little soldering the mods are not difficult. Here is a link that shows what needs to be done. It's for a 302, the mod would be virtually the same. http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=17354.0 If not s... | |
| Upgrade Tube Integrated or Buy Separate Pre-amp? As Phaelon said if your paying to have the mods done think it through. You will loose money if you want to upgrade. I got a 502 for a steal and did the work myself.I know the preamp didn't make much sense to me at the beginning either. It would se... | |
| Upgrade Tube Integrated or Buy Separate Pre-amp? The Jolida amps are a nice simple design that are easily upgraded. Yes some swapping of parts will bring this amp to a new level. They are much better as an amp only removing the volume control and adding a active preamp.Some may argue that moddin... | |
| Best Overall Value in a KT-88 tube I've used the EH KT88's, Shuguang KT-88's and Shuguang Treasures. I do like the Treasures best. But I'm not sure the words best value fits? I preferred the standard Shuguang KT-88's over the EH tubes. More musical and better bass. | |
| Power Supply for Aragon 18K Pre-amp Finding a power supply that fits your requirements will not be easy to find. Size and electrical requirements both need to be addressed. Not easy. That said most power supply problems can be resolved by a competent tech. You may also consider just... | |
| Has anyone heard the new TJ Fullmusic KT88/c tubes I seen these tubes in a shop in Guangzhou. They are really nice looking tubes. The shops are reluctant to demo these hi price tubes because they can't sell them after there used. The shop said he has only sold two pairs. One man replaced his KT-88... | |
| New Jungson V33 tube amp anyone heard it? I read on grantfidelity forum the founder and head designer was hit by a car on the highway and killed about a year or two ago. Maybe other engineers are following his work but I wonder if the new stuff could really be any better? | |
