| Is the moscode 600 a great amplifier? Good, powerful amp. Let the price speak for itself. A 300 wpc amp for what moscodes sell for??? | |
| Tube amps and speaker ohms 40 watts into 89db is pushing your luck. Anything loud or dynamic may over-tax your amp and distort. Also, if you are new to tubes, 845's are not necessarily the best way to go. They are pricey and difficult to "roll" when compared to EL34's or KT... | |
| Is There Greener Grass For Me? Your Gold's have no need for a sub. Nice speakers all around. However, keep in mind that with 5.1 sound, by routing all of the bass to the front speakers, you may be overtaxing your amp. Bass is very power hungry. Even though the Golds can handle ... | |
| sealed bookshelf advice, to pair with jolida 1301 I love my Soliloquy Sat-5's if you can find them. Quite heavy though. I believe that Linn makes a speaker intended for bookshelf use. | |
| Yamaha M-80 Amplifier Connection Options The M-80 is in a class by itself when compared to anything Yamaha ever made. I don't think it is 250 watts per channel (can't recall)? However, the first 10 or so watts are class "A" which makes it so nice.By using a pair of output, ie A & B, ... | |
| Advice on Audio-Video connections on new H/T I do this with my HT.Go from the cable box directly to the TV with both video and audio. Use the digital out and HDMI from the cable box to your pre-amp/processor, then to the TV's second inputs. Some TV's will automatically sense the "master" sou... | |
| amplifier DB meters Arthur, nice answer.To expand on that, when listening at 2 watts, if you want to double your perceived volume, you need to increase volume by approximately 10db. Each 3db required a doubling of power. That translates into about 18-20 watts continu... | |
| "Warmer" high-powered amp/int stable w/ low load? Get your hands on an older NY Audio Labs/Moscode hybrid amp. You can find these in 300 watt or 600 watt versions I believe. Tube gain and solid state output.I've got an old pair of Grommes G101A tube amps that are stable down to 1.4 ohms at 100wpc... | |
| Tube handling/designations I just wash my hands first. DO make sure that if you get fingerprints on the tubes to wipe them off thoroughly. Washing tubes can be a problem since the paint usually washes off too...I think you can use cv4004 also???6922's are great tubes and ea... | |
| amplifier DB meters Most of us only listen at 1 or 2 watts. Theater is a bit more. Besides the fun factor of watching the meters bounce, what is the use? | |
| Have I damaged my amp? Did you try switching the tubes from the right to left and vice versa? Replacing a tube is a lot easier/cheaper.Make sure you turn off the amp first and don't burn yourself either! | |
| Too much Glare on my TV Thanks guys. I agree that the panasonics are a great buy. I have a samsung in my kitchen and a westinghouse monitor. Both are great too.I'll check on the anti-glare screens.Much appreciated.By, the way, I have an NEC projector in my basement theat... | |
| Funny noise from Tube system Pre-amp tubes should be good for 3000 to 10,000 hours, depending on which tubes and which amp??? | |
