| Would anyone like a tube hour counter for amps that don't have this function ?

I’ve got tubes out of old Scott ... | |

| Turntable and Rack vibration control I also have a Garrard 301 in a custom bamboo plinth and i found if you put anything under it that was squishy you would lose focus. the best solution I've got so far is a sturdy three legged stand with 165lb slab of granite on top then the table, ... | |

| Replacing 80's receiver with Schiit Saga or Freya + ?? well after reading about the Vidar I'd like to know how it eventually sounds. but that said if you ever intend to drive 2 as mono blocks you need a preamp that will do " true balanced, differential outputs" and the Freya will do that not the NAD. | |
| "10 Recommended Turntables".... there is a couple there for entry level people getting into Vinyl that are not too bad. Rega, maybe the better crossly ( maybe) and the Fluance RT81 looks promising for $250. so not all bad but remember the buyer here is either just starting out ... | |

| recommendations for amplifiers that don't emit tons of heat for an example KT 88’s have a heater current of 1.6 amps each tube....where as the power dissipated is around 5mili amps | |
| recommendations for amplifiers that don't emit tons of heat Vtvmtodvm the biggest power consumer in a tube amp is usually the heaters for the cathode that's why they waist so much power to run at idle. more tubes you have the more cathodes you need to heat and more heat in the room you get. the Heaters are... | |

| Speaker sensitivity vs. sound quality vs. size generally speakers in the early days of audio had very high efficiency because the amps of the day were low powered also the speakers were quite large. To get more bass out of smaller speakers the efficiency dropped as well. its easier to make hig... | |

| recommendations for amplifiers that don't emit tons of heat Also the main force that controls the speakers is Damping factor not how much power you have.Definition. Amplifier damping factor (DF)is defined as “the ratio of the load impedance (loudspeaker plus wire resistance) to the amplifier internal outpu... | |
| recommendations for amplifiers that don't emit tons of heat Your speakers are 92db and nominal 8 ohms and with your small room you don't need that much power. you could getaway with 20-70wpc in a quality class A/B that will not over heat your room. Class D is an option but I would listen to one first see i... | |
