| ADD or Audiophile? I think that staying focused only on the music is hard for many of the reasons that folks have shared, But I also think that it is something we can gently push back on if we would like to stay more music focused. I was lousy at meditation - my min... | |
| Cool running, low powered power amp Well - the joke's on me! How naive! I ordered my new Decware Triode, and understood there was a waiting list. I figured it would arrive sometime in July, just when I need it. Well, that may be true, but it would have been three July's from now. As... | |
| Cool running, low powered power amp Okay - after all of your good thoughts provoked an examination of my priorities with this summer substitute of an amp, I decided to order the Decware Triode amplifier - all 2.3 watts of it. I decided that since I have speakers that can actually ma... | |
| Cool running, low powered power amp Thank your for your suggestions! I have checked out each one, going to websites and reading discussions about them. And i entered some new worlds (Such as Mr. Nixie and Decware) that I didn’t know about before. You have got me exploring and thinki... | |
| A persistent hummmm... Thank you for that distinction. I can hear the buzz in all three drivers. The pitch changes a little, of course, but it is about equally loud. And, as I mentioned earlier, there is a buzz at the transformer itself. This gives me something to t... | |
| A persistent hummmm... Hi all, My Zesto amp is pretty new - a couple of years old. The hum was there from the start, but my previous speakers didn't emphasize it as much as my new speakers do. As a few folks have said, the efficiency of horn speakers has a down side... | |
| A persistent hummmm... So, on my (so far) futile diagnostic journey, I disconnected all input to the amp. and then unplugged them. The amp, with nothing plugged into it, or even sharing the same wall plug, continues to hum. I have to say the builder, George Counnas of Z... | |
| A persistent hummmm... Yes - I sent the amp out to the manufacturer/designer, and he said he didn't get any hum at all. Of course, i don't know what speakers he uses, and you are right - the efficiency of the speakers certainly exacerbates any hum problem the amp has. ... | |
| A persistent hummmm... Sorry - in the list of things I said that I tried, the cheater plug should have been first. No luck there. I have changed the inout tubes a few times, and that doesn't seem to affect it. I don't know whether there are quieter versions out ther... | |
| Open Baffle Experience Sorry, I discovered this discussion as it is wrapping up. As others have said - I came to open baffle speakers (Emerald Physics 2.8's) through having first many closed box speakers - Linn, B & W, Audio Physics - and also a 12 year stint with M... |
