| If you had a dozen pairs of classic vintage ubes in your closet Martin! Travelshooter! It's been too long.Nice to see your setup, I would love to hear your system, south of Miami Beach correct? I sold my boat in Dania Beach, no plans to go down now.I've been 'off' of photography for a while, got back to my aud... | |
| Looking for a tube Preamp new or used for under $2000... I LOVE my McIntosh mx110z Tube Tuner/Preamp. I would replace it in a heartbeat if it died.The z version has gone up in price, a bit over your budget max.Earlier version, mx110 (has black horizontal volume control) is less money, also highly praise... | |
| Beginner money for separate Amp/Preamp for Hm Th your phono line level out simplifies things quite a bit. An Integrated, tube or SS will keep things simple. I like tubes, mine are quiet, however you might want to stay SS for ’black background’.I want remote volume and remote balance from my list... | |
| Phono pre amp very nice cartridge and phono stage, 5 inputs, lots of variability, it remembers settings!!!your cartridge specshttps://elusivedisc.com/van-den-hul-ddt-2-special-mc-cartridge-0-65mv/as noted, you are correct: .65mv output; coil impedance 9 ohms; r... | |
| If you had a dozen pairs of classic vintage ubes in your closet OP, Remember, new ones need break-in. Brent Jesse told me: Leave on for around 60 hours (no signal required), then compare. Are you saying listen to spares of the same brand? I would not bother unless I suspected a problem.If you mean, try diffe... | |
| If you had a dozen pairs of classic vintage ubes in your closet Tube Confidence:This is one of the reasons I suggest tube people buy a simple tube tester. Not sophisticated testing, but enough to give confidence in any NEW or USED tube: no short; decent strength; for pairs, essentially same location in the ’go... | |
| 300Bs - does leaving them on shorten their life? Some equipment has built in protection.My Cayin tube Amp has a 30 second delay, test and I suppose you could call it a soft start. My prior McIntosh SS amp has a test/delay protection sequence.My Adcom ACE-515 power enhancer (not a power conditio... | |
| Speaker cable length It’s more important to keep your TT cable(s) short.McIntosh guidance: for 18 awg: 4 ohm speakers:15 lf; 8 ohm 30 lf; 16 ohm 60 lf.I finally made my new speaker cables (16 ohm speakers) two days ago, 16 lf each. I always keep speaker cables the sam... | |
| Experience with Sensitive Sound MC cartridges I am VERY GLAD I took a risk and bought my Russian Tonearm. I might have lost $1,000. I just couldn't KNOW what I might have missed.I respect Chackster, and Vlad, the Russian from Canada who sold me my vintage JVC plinth and TT81. Both said no tru... | |
| Which Component Has the Greatest Affect on Low-Level Listening mapmanModern Equipment without 'Lousness' filter:Perhaps a sub with remote control would be nice, to boost bass to your ears for any volume/listening location/content. Or for full range speakers, remote tone, boost just the bass like you would boo... | |
| Mono vs. Stereo frank said The difference between stereo and mono? With stereo, you are there. With mono, they are here. Yes, and with properly reproduced Mono, they are each distinctly here...............As for a single speaker, as Eric mentioned (which is unr... | |
| Vinyl Blinds They make thick woven fabric vertical blinds. I used them for a stock broker's new offices to solve acoustics at the glass perimeter: angled half way closed avoided sound reflections and caught reflected sound from behind yet maintained a sideways... | |
| 300Bs - does leaving them on shorten their life? After you break them in, say 60 hours (no content needed for break-in, just leave them on), IMO it is STUPIDO to leave them on. Other than that I have no opinion on the matter.Turn em on, go do something else for a few minutes, play, OFF. | |
| Mono vs. Stereo I learned here that playing Mono LP’s with a Mono cartridge is better than playing with a Stereo Cartridge even if using a ’mono’ control on a preamp.I found it is definitely true. It makes a bit/some/a lot of improvement. examples:An historic com... |
