| Transformer question--need transformer that puts out nominal 240V for European Amplifier … don’t even know how they do the phase shift. They have a center tap that attached to neutral. A simple 2x voltage transformer (often called autotransformer) would create 240 EU standard. The one you want will have the far leg attached ... | |
| Dunlavy SC IV Speaker- Any Good??? I know it is a crazy thing to bring a 23 year old speakers halfway around the world, I am now a happy person. I do understand parts could be failing. Together with my friend who owns the same model ( the Corinthian I), we have spare drivers, no... | |
| Need help picking my first tube amp My question is, to get the warm tube sound that I enjoy, do I get a tube preamp or power amp to start. I would also be interested to hear what everyone’s take on a good entry level component without having the budget constraint. What gear do yo... | |
| Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it? @pesky_wabbit besides I'm not even a quantum metaphysics 21st century boy.... Noice! I would not have guessed you were a BR fan. | |
| Need help picking my first tube amp @pwerahera I ordered some new tubes… They have been in since the last millennium … But the whole thing sounds pretty nice, and I am not expecting an ah-ha moment. But it would be nice if it happened. (It really cannot get a lot better) But maybe ... | |
| Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it? @theaudiotweak you can state facts. But fact which are not germane to what we are discussing is smoke-n-mirrors stuff. It is appearing that you are spruiking total BS. | |
| Need help picking my first tube amp I have an Audible Illusions Pre (Modulus line stage). It is not bad and used is just within your budget. | |
| Law of Accelerated Returns @thyname me too sir! (Have a great evening.) | |
| Need help picking my first tube amp Unless you get some screaming deal, the $650 USD is probably better off being saved up in the bank. Just get a good Class-D and call it a day (IMO). | |
| Law of Accelerated Returns @thyname as I usually never agree with you. We should celebrate today… it is a good day. @ghdprentice : Agreed! And we all started somewhere. Even at less then that $5,000. Years ago. I can assure the poster of this comment I am not halluci... | |
| The problem with streaming @reubent you’re making me feel old. @vuch - I agree, Rickie Lee Jones - S/T is a fantastic album and I’m glad I still have my original 1979 version that’s in excellent condition | |
| Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it? @theaudiotweak Your speakers drivers are flexy and they operate on shear an compression. Shear travels from the moving coil and dust cap and both sides of the cone and a polarity of this shear wave is reflected back down the cone corrupting th... | |
| Should I upgrade the cable of my Line Conditioner? Hopefully the final stage is a large inductor that works as a power reserve for the amp. But I don't have a conditioner. How does a large inductor provide a reserve? | |
| Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it? cakel Anything that moves generates shear. Your speakers and all materials and surfaces even the fuse.. A polarity of shear left to regenerate will keep reproducing shear especially in a glass tube.Tom I’ve never heard of this… in an elec... | |
| Does anyone know where I can get transistors for a 30 yr old Spectral amp DMA200? @chungjh if you only replace the bad ones (VN), then do you need the PN ? @holmz thanks. It looks like they have the VN but not PN |
