| 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... | |
| Mixing SS and Tubes Starting with only part of your system tubed is easiest. If you have a hum or .... it is a lot easier to track down. It is also a lot easier to compare different tubes (rolling) when the rest of the system is solid state. It seems that tube proble... | |
| Yamaha T-2 tuner lamp replacement If you have the guts to open it up, I probably have the bulb for the cost of shipping only($1). What can you hurt by unplugging it and taking a look inside?Emfoods@yahoo.com | |
| New tubes for SFL-1 / SFS40 New tubes will change the sound but maybe not as you like. You should try changing your gain tubes first with NOS telefunken or mullards and see if that is going the right direction. Many times you will get better sound with these than new tubes. ... | |
| What to look for in a sub? Hi,Energy makes an awesome/tiny 8" sub for next to nothing. Paradigms are nice too. Any bigger and I'd consider Hsu. I hated my sunfire-buzz/humm and it danced around when worked hard. Pinnacle Baby Boomers are supposed to be really nice and tiny.... | |
| Review: Optimus LX-5 Monitor Try updating the midbass drivers! I've been told that Madisound has a nice replacement. | |
| Has anyone installed Surge Protection at AC panel? I put in a 200amp unit for my whole house. It definitely works. I've never blown a power strip/fuse/surge protector since. The unit cost about $400 and took the electrician 1/2 day to install. It's worth it. It still will not prevent spike within ... | |
| Using Power Conditioner to power on/off bad idea? I use an adcom 515. In the instructions, it says that it is fine to use the power switch for the whole system. Many good quality line conditioners will have delays built in to soften the current spikes and "thumps" to your speakers.They wouldn't p... | |
| Review: Antique Sound Labs MG SPM8 Tube amp If you found a fault in these amps, time to start tweaking. Try some better quality tubes! It will make a lot of difference. Try some telefunken or mullard in place of the stock tubes-even some very low noise svetlana or tesla. | |
| Best bargain find ever ? An unkown buyer bought a single rare tube from me for $5. I sold it cheap since we were both regulars on this site. Well, it turned out to be for a very old friend of mine $1500 miles away. We keep in much better contact now and still laugh about ... | |
| Best processor/reciever for 800 ? Sony, Adcom? I bought and returned the Sony 5ES & Yamaha 2200. The denon3802, rotel, marantz7200, Integra 6.2 and others never even made it home. I was upgrading from the Marantz 880 and found the two most musical and clean sounding. The sony doesn't do mu... | |
| Help on amp choice. Sunfire!!!!!!!!!! Aragon is harsh, carver is flat, B&K ok, Adcom monoblocks aren't in sunfires class. |
