| dc10audio Best Sound at RMAF? Quad-man, thanks for your honesty. I know it is extremely difficult to set up a system in an unfamiliar compromised hotel room with limited amounted of time. I try not to draw firm conclusions based on show sound. Kudos to everyone who show up eve... | |
| Vapor Cirrus Black vs dc10 Berlin Studio Monitor BTW, how old are you Mountain-high? | |
| Vapor Cirrus Black vs dc10 Berlin Studio Monitor Mountain-high, the high altitude must be getting to you. You do realize saying one speaker kills another is quiet juvenile. I have heard the Magicos on multiple occasions at shows and in one of the finest dealer show room in the US. Never once did... | |
| dc10audio Best Sound at RMAF? Yea, the Venture room was in my top five. But there was a f**k wad that took the sweet spot for hours without considerations for others who wanted to listen. Some of you may remember him because all he did was crank up electronic house music to ea... | |
| Vapor Cirrus Black vs dc10 Berlin Studio Monitor Mountain-high, I was at RMAF and heard dc10audio system and Vapor system (Cirrus Black and Joule). I'm not sure what your association with Mountain-high is. Your limited number of posts and your immediate bashing of another manufacturer and praisi... | |
| dc10audio Best Sound at RMAF? I think I was in this room. Only had analogue TT as source. I thought the sound of the system was too bright. Not my type of sound. | |
| Which resistors to use for KT88 output tubes Thanks, Rodman. I Mills and PRC power resistors seem to be perfect for the job. | |
| Which resistors to use for KT88 output tubes Thanks Rodman. I read it again and saw the reference to wirewound resistors. Based on the schematic of my KT88 amp, I see a 2.2 kohm 2 watt resistor to the control grid, a 100 ohm 5 watt resistor to the screen grid, and 10 ohm 5 watt plate resisto... | |
| Which resistors to use for KT88 output tubes Wont metal film work just as well on the grids? | |
| Which resistors to use for KT88 output tubes Hi Rodman, I don't see any mention of wirewound resistor being quieter than Vishay or Caddock in the link you provided. Is this from your personal experience? | |

| Passive Pre-amp: Improves overall sound quality?? If set up correctly, a passive preamp can sound as good or better than the some of the best active preamps out there. In my system, I have a high quality stepped attenuator built into the input section of my amp. Keep the interconnect 6 feet or le... | |
| Which resistors to use for KT88 output tubes I was thinkin Mundorf for 10 ohm and Mills for 100 ohm. Isn't Rinken carbon? I'm kinda suspicious about the reliability and stability of carbon resistors. What's a good metal film resistor for 2.2kohm. Although Mundorf and Mills claim theirs are n... | |
| Designer Hall of Fame I have to give another shout out Bob Carver. He is not known for just one particular design. He has designed innovative SS and tube electronics and speakers. As with many innovative designers, he stirred up a lot of controversy in high end...for t... | |
| Designer Hall of Fame I think John Atkinson was mentioned as a joke. AFIK, he was never a designer of anything in audio that is notable...just a reviewer with technical knowledge. As for Audiozen's claims about reviewing, that's another whole contested topic in highend... |
