| Is it my amp or pre-amp ? So if you connect amp directly to CDP all good,add Pre/Pro to the mix & amp(?)starts clicking & stops producing sound?It has to be the Preamp,which the CDP is acting as when direct coupled..Maybe an output stage going bad... | |
| Tried tubes and LOVED it, now what? nasaman I forgot about what is involved in biasing that amp...Start rolling with the small signal tubes,they do not affect bias voltage... | |
| soundstage location~speaker plane; speaker design or placement? No idea how they do that voodoo they do do but no doubt it’s a combination of all 3(design,room & placement)... | |
| Tried tubes and LOVED it, now what? First off congrats on finding the light......I'm not a fan of KT88's,great bass but the mids are no where near as lit up as EL34...You could:Consolidate all speakers to 1 pair of Hi Eff.& go 300B SET or something S.E.Triode Strapped or 300B Pu... | |
