| Phono Preamp Question Thanks Tablejockey: What tube do you use in V3? | |
| Phono Preamp Question Thanks for the input folks. I'm going to roll some tubes in and out of the Fosgate to see if that changes things. MZKMXCV noted that the 60db of gain may already be plenty. I love the Magico V2s, but they need tubes in the pathway as they can soun... | |
| TAD 60 Thanks Gregory. I will contact Bill. | |
| Can't bias tubes on amplifier Haven't tried 6550's although they are approved for the amp. I'm reluctant to put more money into tubes if I am having the bias problem with KT's. | |
| Can't bias tubes on amplifier Thanks for the advice, Newbee and Hifigeek. I have been able to bias KT-88s in the past with this amp at he 500-550 mV settings, but have never been able to bias tubes 1 and 3 at 200 mV to achieve a single ended class A operation as Paul describes... | |
| Audiolab 8200cd and dac I just got the 8200 CD yesterday, listened to CD's last night and hooked up to files on PC-USB today. I am really impressed with the sound and the features, especially the filters. Had been running a MF V-DAC with upgrade power supply but didn't u... | |
| Audiolab 8200 CDQ CD Player I just bought the 8200 CD not the Q. Have it playing right now through Itunes losless and it sounds really good, which surprises me. Had been running a MF V-DAC with an upgraded power supply and quit using it because the sound sucked. The Audiolab... | |
| SS to Pair with Acoustic Zen Adagio I have a pair of Adagios and I run them with a BAT VK-200 and a Cary tube preamp for vinyl. For digital I run the Cary with a TAD 60 tube amp. The Adagios really like tubes for digital. BAT works well with vinyl | |
| Setting tube bias Thanks everyone. I tried the KTs again, one at a time, and it is still a problem. I'm taking the amp in for a check up. | |
| Setting tube bias Bdgregory: You had a TAD 60 and ran KTs. Even when I could bias them at 550 each, when I tried to bias two of them lower to run single ended class A, I couldn't get them to go low enough. I'm thinking there is something going on with the TAD. Thanks. | |
| Setting tube bias Thanks all. It would be strange for all 4 KT-88s to go bad at the same time. If the bias supply in the amp is having problems, wouldn't it be having problems also with the EL-34s. This is strange indeed. I'm gonna try to bias the KTs again and see... | |
| MF V-DAC and power supply Ok, I ordered the v-dac, wireworld usb, and pyramid power supply. V-dac got here first with wireworld so I hooked it up using just the wall wart. Sound was thin, especially using my BAT transistor amp. A little better with the tube amp. So I kept ... | |
| MF V-DAC and power supply Thanks Hotmail. | |
| MF V-DAC and power supply Hotmailjbc:Which Wireworld USB did you get? | |
| MF V-DAC and power supply Thanks Stanwal, I was hoping that was the case. I have read a number of reviews and comparisons and the V-DAC seems to play way above it's weight class. So do I just hook it up and hit play on my computer. Will the V-DAC pick up the highest sample... |
