| Stereo EQ in the hifi world ...? if you want an SAE stack let me know I know someone with enough SAE kit to make about three of them.I diverge there sorry i'm in a humorous mood. but its true if you want.....Luxman made a quality Eq in the mid 80's that had tone controls with cut... | |
| Problems with Martin Logan ESL speakers accepting a banana plug? you could go to your local audio shop or electronics shop and get some smaller banana's and solder them on the speaker wires if they fit into your speakers. or you could order some nice binding posts from partxnection and have a shop replace the M... | |
| What’s in a watt i've been doing some research on the all in one idea and your needs seem to follow what I was thinking. The Anthem integrated seems like a winner from many standpoints. enough power, digital ins as well as analogue and then there is the room corre... | |
| Speaker match there isn’t many options in your price range I’m afraid and probably none in a full range as in 20-20khz you’d be doing well to find something 40-20khz. used Klipsch is your best bet for most bass i’d think at $500 you may find a MK1 or 2 in the o... | |
| how are you testing your own tubes? of course most of us i'd imagine just wait until they sound bad, microphonic or fail and replace. | |
| how are you testing your own tubes? Testers are hard to find in good shape and they they need to be calibrated to get the most accurate reading so best to get them checked at a shop. I'm thinking yearly for power tubes and every few years for low power tubes like preamp tubes and d... | |
| Speaker match your looking at high efficiency speakers. that amp will output 15wpc from what I googled. so anything 94db and up will work. Zu audio, Omega, Tekton I believe have entry level stuff in that range or very close. then your into vintage stuff like ol... | |
| Vintage Luxman SS integrateds? Please educate me any of the due beta stuff from the late 70's to mid 80's are excellent. The L530,L540 L550,L560 all Class A, and probably the best of the early 80's Luxman's and the direct predecessors of the current class A designs, if you can find one. I find... | |
| Anyone runs Euro voltage power amp or integrated with transformer ? I think you can get away with out the frequency converter if its just an amp and preamp with no digital or clocks. then just the step down-up. I ran a Luxman L560 Japan only Integrated on a step down TX for a couple years worked great, so did the ... | |
| Darko talks with Shiit Audio FUNNY FUNNY stuff. yes they do as well as a turntable and a raspberry pie thing they called ___ well i wont ruin it for you.i'll be honest I didn't post it here for the shitt audio info more the comedic relief. the older gentleman is a true hoot. | |
| Speakers for First Watt SIT-1 amp I also have a set of the SAM’s and they are a special speaker you may want to look at adding a subwoofer with SAM’s or preferably two of them. I run SET 300b tubes and have been also looking at many speakers suitable for low power. I have a very n... | |
| Help for a Greenhorn: Devialet Phantom Reactor vs. KEF LS50 powered vs. Audio Pro Drumfire Elac has a new powered speaker line coming if not already out. The thing that interested me in that line was it is all analog no A to D but has wifi-Bluetooth compatibility. With something like that you could add a Preamp that will give you futur... | |
| Military grade Military grade is a fashion statement by the marketing departments nothing more. ford and their military grade aluminum, wires now military grade all marketing hype. Mil spec is usually attached by military buyers for reasons specific to the needs... | |
| SET v. Pushpull SET’s are max’ish 25wch most are in the 2-8wch range so not really practical for your KEF’s 85db sensitivity. SET one tube amplifying the whole sine wave. usually 2-8-25wpc SET Parallel same as above but two or more tubes in parallel so they both ... | |
| Making a difficult decision one thing to keep in mind the Nova is class D that's why its lighter, class D does not require the large transformers that the other classes A AB need. So don't judge by the weight alone. I've never see either so can't comment there. |
