| What are ideal impedences between tube and ss? I think it is the latter. Sensitivity doesn't pertain to your original question. Your setup, like most, is designed to transfer voltage from the pre to the power, not current. Some current will flow. But if the input impedance of the power amp is ... | |
| What are ideal impedences between tube and ss? Your preamp output impedance is very typical. The input impedance of you amp is on the low side of normal. Typical for a SS amp is 50K and for a tube amp 100K even though some like yours and I believe the Nelson Pass amps are a little lower.A gene... | |
| Listener magazine defunct ?? Just found out Art Dudley has gone over to the dark side, Stereophile. | |
| Stereophile "confirms" Moncrieff's SACD comments ? If you are going with Bose, I would recommend a 12 pack. | |
| I can't really hear a big difference I believe the BAT is full of tubes. Maybe they are worn out? Changing tubes can make a huge difference. | |
| Where 2 buy 3x distilled water and 100 alchohol? Fischer Scientific sells reagant grade methanol for about $20 a liter. http://www.fisherscientific.com We use it to clean optics in lasers. If you know someone who works in a hospital they should be able to get some. | |
| Why do my albums sound better at the end??? Thanks to all for your responses. I have made slight adjustments to tracking force and to the anti skating and this seems to have helped. | |
| Why do my albums sound better at the end??? It is a Wilson Benesch Act 2 table and arm with an Analog cartridge. I set the alignment with the tool that came with the table and compared to a Geodisc, and several 2 point protractors and all seems OK. I used a Stereo Review disc to set antiska... | |
| Rectifying bridge. Mention a bit more Albert. Enlighten us. | |
| Where to buy unterminated speaker wire http://www.percyaudio.com has some. | |
| Modifying to 220V operation. How to make sure? Even with the tubes removed you still have the potential to do some serious damage. If you do it wrong and plug it into 220, you could have twice the normal DC voltage in the amp. That means twice the normal DC voltage across the filter caps. In m... | |
| using a transformer to separate your gear power As usual, Sean's comments are correct. You must choose a device that is capable of delivering the current that your components require.There are some other considerations. A normal transformer is not a voltage regulator. If the input goes up or do... | |
| Rectifying bridge. Ok, my point was that the bridge itself does not determine the amplitude of the DC voltage so they are not rated in this respect. Diodes do have a voltage rating, the PRV (Peak Reverse Voltage). This is the maximum that they can handle when revers... | |
| Rectifying bridge. The peak DC output voltage of a bridge rectifier is proportional to the amplitude of the AC voltage it is fed. The AC voltage is determined by the winding ratio of the power transformer. To increase the DC voltage would require replacing the power... | |
| Who can repair a Resolution Audio CD-50??? How old is your unit? I'm not sure about this, but I believe there are laws about how long a company has to support a product after it is manufactured. I work in the medical equipment business and we have to provide support for our products for at... |
