| Has anybody heard the new Audio Research LS 27? In Audio Research's defense, any quality audio manufacturer has the right to improve their products as state of the art parts and technology improves. It is in their best interest to do so. You try a new design and you learn from it. It either wor... | |
| Power cord for CJ MF2500A If you live close to the west coast I can accommodate you. I have replaced power cords on C/J's in the past with custom power cords. The problem with putting an IEC socket on any amp is space. I have an IEC hole punch, it's quite large, and theref... | |
| KT120 Tube compatibility w/ Jadis Defy 7 Amp MK 1 As I have stated in a few other threads....the KT-120 is NOT a drop in replacement for the 6550. The KT-120 draws more heater current per tube. Using it could pose a potential risk to the heater winding in your power transformer and/ or make the t... | |
| AUDIO RESEARCH D-76A What is the V number of that 12AX7 tube and I will investigate it for you. | |
| Do Mono Block amps provide better sound ?? There is a clear cut difference as to why in theory dual monoblocks have an advantage unless of course the stereo amp is a dual monophonic design. Depending on the circuit design, stereo amps which use the same power supply for both channels is at... | |
| Help diagnose problem with my amp I might be able to help....I'm in CA. Let me know. | |
| Quatre dg-250 amplifier I'm in L.A. if you are closer. | |
| Help diagnose problem with my amp It's possible there's an issue with the power supply voltages. Voltage regulators can fail and/or no longer regulate properly. Voltage may have dropped causing a decrease in gain. Depending on the circuit, that would account for both channels bein... | |
| Quatre dg-250 amplifier I would be rather careful what you choose to connect to it as some of those amps were not particularly stable with all loads. They liked to blow up a lot. I would probably keep it between 4-8 ohms. No low or complex impedance i.e. no electrostats ... | |
| Audio Research Classic 60 & 120 owners I have worked on quite a few CL-30 and CL-60. Yes the transformer does get quite warm. I also remember the power transformer being close to the output tubes. They are designed to run at that temperature and if there was an issue with too much curr... | |
| My 1st tube amp: transformer buzz audible 15 feet? It sounds like a defective transformer. Is this unit new? Who makes this unit? A mild buzz is not uncommon in a unit that's a few years old. | |
| Conrad Johnson PV-10A mod experiences? I have found Multicaps to have an upper midrange glare. I remove them when possible. I also never mix coupling caps. | |
| ARC VT100 with KT-120 tubes ? Casouza there's more to it. The construction of the KT-120 is far more robust than the 6550. Taller plate with heat sink fin structure to allow for more efficient heat dissipation, as well as a thicker glass envelope. The KT-120 also has getter fl... | |
| Naim Nait 5i Intermittent Channel Loose or defective speaker fuse in the integrated? | |
| ARC VT100 with KT-120 tubes ? I think they will work great and given the amp runs the outputs in triode it should sound fantastic!!! |
