| Member's recommendations for tube amplification @clio09 I am truly sorry if I upset you. I respect your experience greatly and miss your posts here. My question was a sincere probing into your thoughts on headroom and its impact on speaker/amp synergy. | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification @charles1dad Why did you repeat the hybernation comment in agreement? You should know better and have read me stating the very same points as @clio09 I just had a sincere question on headroom. It was specific. Not sure why you are pouncing on me i... | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification I owned two of Jacks amps. Loved his 15 watt 34 SET. In the end I needed more power for some 90db, 8 ohm speakers. I have owned other SET amps that worked well with 92 - 95db speakers. I certainly have posted the exact additional considerations yo... | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification Just asked a question? Really just wanted to hear your response? Yes I have done the SET amp speaker combo numerous times with and without success. All your points are true @clio09 Your hibernation comment seems way over the top and you did not a... | |
| Output Caps For Dehavilland Ultraverve Well, that question is not as easy. Not sure the size of the cap will make that much of a difference. It really depends on the capacitance of the IC your using and the output impedance of the preamp. Yours has an output impedance of 600-1000 ohms ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I looked at the one for sale here and he uses very good parts quality for sure. Very good quality. Better than preamps costing 4x his. Wish it was point to point wired instead of circuit board, but that in itself is not a deal breaker. Plenty of... | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification Coming too close to a SET amp’s maximum power output with little "headroom" left is an important consideration clio09... especially with SET amps. Ralph at Atmasphere has shared the Tech reasons behind this several times in these threads. Can you ... | |
| Output Caps For Dehavilland Ultraverve Correct. You get a gold star! Keep to total capacitance at 2.2uf to 2.8uf or so. | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification Very subjective for sure with 1 - 3.5 watts. I have talked to DI owners who experience did not match Terry’s with the ZOTL combo or good flee watt amps. Terry and others love it, others will not. No right or wrong here, just differing sonic pleasu... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Well, I will finally get a chance to hear the upgraded version of the DI’s in @grey9hound system Friday. He was kind enough to let be come by for a visit and listen. Looking forward to meeting Dennis and enjoying his wonderful system. | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification David,Well your writing is wonderful. Beautifully communicated and so enticing. Well said sir. | |
| Cable Survey I would not go for the silver foil, but stick with the stranded copper. Try it first. Amazing cable. Twist the positive and negative run every 1.5 - 2 inches. Hook up with the bare wire on both ends for best sound. It will not oxidize. Don't let... | |
| Cable Survey Agree with LAK on the wonderful Furutech Nano SO-22N. Great cord and only $19 foot on sale at VH Audio. The new Duelund 16 gauge stranded and tinned copper wire in oil impregnated cotton is my choice for both speaker cables and ICs. $10 per meter ... | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification David, please let us know how the Volti speaker compared to the DI. Which one would be your keeper if only one could be kept? I assume the DI, since you did not purchase the Volti? | |
| Output Caps For Dehavilland Ultraverve What amp is being paired with this preamp and do know the input impedance of the amp? |
