| tube amps/low capacitance cables? Strange indeed -- unless the older cables were higher gauge (i.e. thinner) than the new ones -- and generally too thin for the new application? | |
| Has anybody had experience with the Orions? I have listened to a pair of Orions. Generally, I've been particularly interested in open baffle spkrs for quite a few years (ever since I listened to "Audio Artistry" spkrs, also designed by Mr Linkwitz) and have frequented the Linkwitz site assi... | |
| What is my weakest link? OK, then try out different IC -- as in, different in design. Single core, for example. Many people make these and some people offer trials (one of these being an A'gon member -- jadem6).OTOH, Adhaney, you [b]did[/b] writeI'm trying to figure out w... | |
| What is my weakest link? Component-wise, your weakest link is the speaker. I would strongly suggest you try (not buy) out different speakers. Don;t spend money on wires right now. | |
| How hot should my WAVAC 300b run I can hold my hands on it for 15 secs or more but just barely. I also smell a burnt wood smellThe wood smell (rather than electrical) is probably due to the heat shock the chassis gets as the amp is heating up.If I were you, I'd take the amp to an... | |
| Aria phono preamp - Mike Elliot blog I have -- sporadically. It looks very interesting on paper. The designer also looks very interesting, and his motivation to produce a super fine-tuned riaa is very encouraging.The expected pricing, while high, seems to follow the retail cost of pa... | |
| Can i clean the female insides of my powercables ? Griesslehamn -- you did get answers, and correct ones at that!Whatever you do, DISconnect the cable fm the mains when cleaning! | |
| Moving Coil Transformers And Preamps...Which ones I assume you've read through Raul's thread on cartridges.Anyway, I've tried a few step up transformers. I liked the Stevens & Billington best. They are expensive. A cheaper and good alternative comes from Lundahl.However, you may not need a s... | |
| How to evaluate preamps? Before one "evaluates" it's good to check the EFFECTS a pre will have.Since yr amp has a volume control and you have piano and winds music and knowledge, insert the pre into the system and compare (you can also do this with white noise fm a radio)... | |
| Walkers SST silver treatment The only reason you may wish to clean and reapply is that precious metals can migrate and create unwanted electrical potential. So the silver in yr silver grease can migrate into the gold platings it's connecting.But I suppose asking Walker is a g... | |
| Jadis Eurythmie - Anyone ever listen to them? What you get with the Eurythmie:1) Completely different sound reproduction than panels.2) A feeling of live concert dynamics (they're horns after all) 3) A somewhat euphonic sound (slightly pronounced lower mids)4) OK restitution of upper mids (cy... | |
| Recommended one make systems? Odysseay is one comapny offering reasonably priced systems (that's source - amplification - spkrs; everything). I listened to one of these and was favourably impressed but can't remember any model number. It wasn't very expensive, though. | |
| I need help on directionality of speaker cables ...but some that go above and beyond simple rules of electronics have great benefitTbg: for Goodness sake, you cannot go ABOVE the RULES of electronics -- nor are said rules necessarily simple.You may go beyond the SIMPLE rules -- but that's neith... | |
| Biamp N802:is 55W tube enough for high/mids? The key is that I can actively biamp and eliminate any overlap between amps. I will be using a DEQX that can do 100db/octave+ crossoverI strongly suggest you follow the characteristics of the passive x-overs (slope, freq, q, etc)You will disconnec... | |
| Biamp N802:is 55W tube enough for high/mids? As Arthur notes, you should be able to do it. OTOH, 350Hz places you smack bang in the middle of the voices range, so most of yr tenors will come out of the "bass" amp and most of yr sopranos fm the triode (likewise with cellos and violins):)Just ... |
