| XLR to RCA Adapters I had Rogue Magnum 99 preamp and BAT vk200 for a month or so, but soon I replaced Rogue with BAT vk30.BAT/Rouge (with RCA-adapter) worked fine (an improvement over Linn/Rouge which I had for a couple of years), but I just could not get away with t... | |
| Setting up a movie room in unfinished basement Many thanks to all.I know $5000 is very tight budget for this kind of work, and if not done right, I may only end up wasting money and time.Realistically, I would need 3~4 times of money to get it professionally done. I am not a handyman, but I am... | |
| Rogue 99 pre vs. BAT vk30 I had Rogue 99 magnum with Linn amp, and currently have BAT vk30 with vk60 and vk200. Both with Tyler Linbrook Systems speakers.It was supposed to be an upgrade but not as much difference I expected, andI somehow miss Rogue. Its onboard phono was ... | |
| Fast/Slow fuse? What I need is 6x30mm 10A 250V slow blow fuses. So far, I found clear glass 8A 250V slow blow fuses and ceramic 10A 250V slow blow fuses.Are ceramic tubes replaceable with clear glass tubes?thx | |
| Fast/Slow fuse? Thanks for the link. But one is for fast acting, and the other is (slow blow) seramic type. I want a clear glass slow blow fuse.Well, I will keep looking. I asked the 2 ACE store and Radio Shack about electronic supply store in our area, but they ... | |
| Fast/Slow fuse? A quick on line search did not result in any.Some suggest that lower amp fuse may work. For example, 8A 250V slow blow fuse may work well without affecting other components.Any idea?thx | |
| Fast/Slow fuse? I've been to two ACE hardware stores and one RadioShack, but they all don't have them. I guess they are not real electronic shop.What I want is 10A 250V slow blow fuse and 4A 250V fast acting fuse. I will go for online.I guess using a fast acting ... | |
| Fast/Slow fuse? Thanks.I just wanted to check if the amps work, but I could not find right type of fuses.I tested my amps with those types, and at least found out that the amps work!I am not going to use those fuses any longer and will order correct types right a... | |
| Tyler Decade D2s: review "Are the D2s so much better than the Super Towers?"Assuming the Super tower is in the same league as LSS which I own, I would doubt that D2 is "so much" better. | |
| Klipsch I have Klipsch KLF-20 in HT setup with Yamaha RXV-3000.My Yaqin MC10L (50W tube amp) sounds much much more musical than Yamaha on KLF.Yamaha does OK for movies, though. | |
| Salk Speakers - Opinions & Advice? I was a bit disppointed by D1's sound. However, I attribute it more to the (mediocre?) Jolida amp and cd player. To my ear, my system sounds better (Tyler Linbrook SS, BAT vk-200, vk30, Arcam CD23). My room (about 25x30) is about 4 times as big as... | |
| Can a broken leg from a tube be soldered and used? There is no leg left on the damaged tube to make any contact to the socket.Someone told me that the broken legs may not need any connnection to the circuit. So I just go ahead and plug the power. Only one tube biased (a green line comes for each t... | |
| Can a broken leg from a tube be soldered and used? Dgarretson, do you mean that 6C33C-B tubes do not need to be matched?Lewm, how much did you pay for? Over $100 per piece, right?The tube tubes will be used with my vk60.I guess new sets of 4x6C33C-B and 8x6SN7 from BAT would cost me at least $600,... | |
| Can a broken leg from a tube be soldered and used? The tube is not that expensive. About $50~70. If bought from Russia or Eastern Europe, $60 for 4 set and $25 for shipping.What I will do is to find some tubes with long legs (at least 50% longer then 6C33C tube legs) and remove them from the tube.... | |
| Can a broken leg from a tube be soldered and used? Doh! What was I thinking! |
