| Humming noise in speakers I agree with the adaptor. You can also try to reverse the adaptor. Just turn it 180degrees in the plug. Honestly though, once I got a decent line conditioner, I have never had this problems since. | |
| Tube friendly speakers UNDER 1K? Totems are too inefficient. Try Coincident Triumphs. | |
| Best tube amp for my system ---- 1k used???? See if you can find a Dynaco ST-80. Extremely detailed and accurate. Handles 2 ohm loads! | |
| Amplifier class A/B bias question Isn't it usually about 10% is class A in most amps of this realm? | |
| Instructions to electrician about dedicated line What if you ever change amps? I put in a whole house surge protector as well. It prevents outside problems from interfering but will not protect you from inside trouble(ie feedback from your a/c compressor). For that reason, I also use a line cond... | |
| Is a offer of -20 percent on an OBO ad insulting? If he is so uptight/disgruntled, let him rot in......... | |
| AV receiver for 4 ohm speakers? Hi,That's part of the reason I returned my Yamaha and didn't buy Onkyo. Marantz 7200, JVC DP10(my new one), I believe Sony 5, and most Denons will handle 4 ohms. I blew off the sony because of poor multi room features and an impossible remote. The... | |
| Why Sony watts aren't as good as _____ watts Open them up and see. When driving an amp hard, quality counts. Even Sony vs. Sony ES will use many different parts with the same power output. When you start working the amp hard, those .02 vs .005 distortion ratings make a big difference. I thin... | |
| Opinions about Mullard El-37 Vs. Amperex El-34 DD From what I know, the Mullard EL-34 is the best, way beyond the Amperex and the EL-37 is even better! I'd love to try the EL-37-where did you find them? In my book, the decision is a "no brainer" if you have the money. | |
| 4 ohm speakers with tube amps? Just don't trust all speaker companies. I got rid of my Thiels because they were rated at 4 ohms but readily dipped to 2.5 ohms or so. | |
| Coincident Tech's Partial Eclipse vsRevel's F-30?? I've listened to most of them. All great detail and sound. If you need efficiency and higher impedance (ie SET amps), Coincident is the way to go. I love Thiels but got rid of them for Coincidents due to low impedance drops and inefficiency with t... | |
| 6SL7 the same as 6SN7 ??? Without getting into details, NO, they are not interchangeable. Not even close. You can substitute 12SL7 for 6SL7 and 12SN7 for 6SN7 (the 12 series just have a higher current capability. | |
| With Recent Talk Here of PSB Stratus Goldi's,.... Buy Stratus Minis with a PSB sub instead. You will get better imaging due to the tiny boxes and no hernia! The golds are monsters. I owned silvers and after a side by side with minis, I decided that PSB needs a diet. | |
| A better matched amp for my Totem Speakers? Totem are not the most efficient? Maybe you need more power, not just a new amp. | |
| Do I need more power? GET A SUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will need to go to at least 120 watts of tubepower to notice a difference and most mini monitors can not handle that much. Also, according the owner of Janis (premium sub builder), by removing all signal below 100hz, yo... |
