| High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps? @jc4659 , I actually wasn’t worried about not enough power, I was worried that too much power might not be compatible with a sensitivity of 99? My ancient B&Ws are listed as being 87, and my Cary has no problem at all driving them in 50 wpc t... | |
| High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps? Thanks @hilde45 , I think that one of the sites that I did a quick pass through was the Klipsch forum and I am not sure what the original thread topic I clicked on was, but I remember a bit of an argument about whether the Forte IV would be too m... | |
| High sensitivity (99) with mid powered (50 to 100 wpc/tube) amps? @oddiofyl , what catches my interest is their small foot-print. It’s almost as small as the B&Ws I am currently running. They are actually lower than the B&Ws. I don’t think that they would overwhelm the room. I guess what I was initiall... | |
| Listening Room @jgjg123 , JerryG123, is that really you???? Hello to all, I think this is a situation many audiophiles find themselves in: That being your listening room is NOT a dedicated room that your expensive audio system resides in. You do NOT have a c... | |
| Surge protector @jea48 , I continue to follow this thread with interest. I did go to Lowe’s site and find their listing for the Siemens FirstSurge 140-kA Indoor and Outdoor Surge Protective Device. After reading the second to last post you made, it got me wonde... | |
| Marantz SA10 sacd player Sharri My traverse lens are arriving Tuesday. Encompass shipping dept. did not give the package to Fedex, it’s ten days delayed, @jayctoy , who is going to install it? | |
| Listening Room @jgjg123 is a disturbingly familiar sounding screen name. Could it be? Nooo . . . tell me it isn't. . . Anyway, on the outside chance that this is a serious question, I'd say +1 to @erik_squires for recommending a pair of forgiving speakers. ... | |
| Favorite moment with music in your car. This is going back many many many moons ago, but I remember one Friday night in early to mid autumn, a buddy of mine and I dropped some pretty good acid and we were cruising around enjoying the sights and also the tunes on the radio with a desi... | |
| Leaving tube amps on. @pindac , well, the amp had been in service for many years and caps do occasionally fail, and I think that this failure was due to a mistake I made when I was doing something with the amp. But, my point was: that if the amp was fully powered on ... | |
| Leaving tube amps on. @tattooedtrackman , on bias and red plating, a few years ago (I think it may have been some time in '20, I had a coupling cap fail on one side of my Cary V12.. I won't try to explain the science or theory of whatever happened within the circuit... | |

| Living With A Class A Tube Amp You most likely have either ultralinear or pentode pentode being a purer circuit without all the feedback as in a Ultralinear circuit. I always thought that ultralinear was synonymous with pentode, and that triode was the purer circuit. Was I ... | |
| Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer! @hickamore , Tucker Carlson's boyfriend told him the dryer was part of the election theft scam. | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords Thanks @mrdecibel ; I will keep you posted. I had to unplug everything to facilitate other goings on in the room, but I am hoping to have everything hooked back up by tomorrow. Life if full of compromises. I do believe that an improvement could b... | |
| Leaving tube amps on. This isn’t exactly applicable to your question, and what I do might not fit into the structure of your life, but I generally know, on any given day, when I will be listening, and it usually after I eat dinner. So a couple or three hours before I a... |
