| 6N8S 6SN7 6Н8С tubes? Oops! I cannot edit my PO where I typed 6SN& meaning to type 6SN7 . . . I am a horrible typist. Thanks, @ellajeanelle , I will try to look that up to see how those two compare with the 6SN7. | |
| Flexible Power Cords @g9taylor , I just did a quick search on the Kimber Base PK10; is it a shielded cord? @carlsbad2 , wouldn't shielded be advised for digital sources? | |
| Question about adjusting the balance @zazouswing , thank you for your input and I believe that you are correct. I also think that I was woried about nothing . . . I have a solid center image and I guess that is all I should have really been concerned about. I don't know what led m... | |
| I Don't Understand What Determines When A Thread Gets The Axe @allenf1963 , good to hear from a fellow animal lover and audiophile (although I am not sure the audiophile handle applies to me). Not familiar with the Plott Hound breed, but the two puppies we adopter were both boxer mixes (35% according to the... | |
| I Don't Understand What Determines When A Thread Gets The Axe @allenf1963 My 7 month old rescues (an Orange brother and his Tortie sister) are teaching my wife and I a thing or thirty about kittens! Mainly, they have one brain cell between them and they take turns using it! If you think that's bad . . ... | |
| Question about adjusting the balance @carlsbad2 , sincere thanks for your input. I did not play with different input tubes, but I do actually have a HT center channl version of the 805 Matrix that I have not used for years, so, even though I figured it was a fool’s errand, and theref... | |
| Question about adjusting the balance So what you data is telling you, as you described it above. Is that you have a probem with either one of your highs or one of your mids. My first thought was that it would likely be a driver or a crossover component in your speakers. Ahhhh,... | |
| Question about adjusting the balance I never thought of thinking deeper on it. Not a problem if you want to. Thanks, @ghdprentice , I think I am probably getting ready not to worry about it anymore. I was just wondering if there was an easy explanation to why I could use the SLM... | |
| Question about adjusting the balance @carlsbad2 So the question is, how is your tube bias set? I prefer manual tube bias adjustment so I can match any 2 tubes. Theoretically, an auto bias circuit should do this also, but if you’re getting different voltages, then maybe it isn’t. ... | |
| Records and CDs And all this time I thought I was missing out because I don't have a TT and a LP collection (anymore). | |
| Question about adjusting the balance Don’t be put off by "lopsided" speaker placement to achieve center focus of the stereo image. Your hearing and gear are not perfect (L/R balance) Imagine adjusting binoculars. Okay, I just didn’t think that there was anything unreasonable abo... | |
| How does bi-wiring work? I tried (WBC) jumpers on my AZ Satori Shotguns. I hear exactly what you describe. It's not subtle, they're staying! Thanks for the tip. I did the same thing (WBC jumpers) with my shotgunned B&W 805s. I think it sounds better, but I d... | |
| Question about adjusting the balance Thank you, @carlsbad2 , I’ll follow your advice, but since you are a physicist and I am only a retired mechanic, what would the explanation be for the sound pressure meter showing a different calibration for balance with the different test tones? ... | |
| Question about adjusting the balance @secretguy , why is it hard to believe it is a serious question? I use my sound level meter and run test signals with two different test tones and the meter indictates that after I balance the sound level by using one of the tones, when I check ... | |
| which 6sn7 gives the most air?? I favor 6f8g tubes not for air but for fuller sound. @shkong78 , I just recently acquired the good fortune to have a few pairs to play with in the balanced input sockets of my SLP05. I am currently playing with a pair of National Unions and I... |
