| Luxman JPA15000 power cord? @audphile1 , do you have any experience with or know anything about the XLO Ultra Plus power cord? | |
| For Tube Folks... In the '90s I had a couple of amps that used 6550s and I remember Cary was putting them out with and selling replacement Svetlantas (first the Bs and then Cs). I bought eight Tung Sol 6550s that were theoretically NOS from Andy in Michigan and th... | |
| Favorite Album Cover (picture or art on the cover) One thing we lost in going from Albums to CDs and then streaming was the artistic, interesting, and sometimes shocking cover art. It just doesn’t have the same impact for me on a CD disc. I agree with that 100%. I completely sold out to digital... | |

| soft dome versus hard dome tweeters Thanks @everybody for all of the interesting and informed feedback. @knotscott Soft domes tend to be easier to work with, are more forgiving of smaller implementation issues, when you guys refer to "smaller implementation" are you referring ... | |
| If an amp has 4 ohm taps Thank you for the link, @newfzx7 . | |
| If an amp has 4 ohm taps @immatthewj If the best sound quality out of a tube amp is your goal then it is best to avoid lower impedance speakers. This is particularly true if the amp uses no feedback. The lower impedance makes the speaker cables far more critical. They s... | |
| ???Safely Trading Gear Between Private Parties??? Imitation? It was a direct quote. But it is good advice. | |
| If an amp has 4 ohm taps they don't drive low impedance loads well. Using the 4 ohm taps doesn't remedy this much if at all. Thanks @newbee , I guess that was basically my question. a 'nominal impedance load' of 4 ohms doesn't preclude the load from going lower R... | |
| Music/Life Neither sounds very appealing. Still, it's probably better to very slowly fade away. I am with you on that, @inna . I am happy I am still around. | |
| Music/Life "Hey Hey My My" was from the 70’s, not the 80’s. I remember that LP, Rust Never Sleeps, it was one of the first LPs I ever bought (1979) when I started buying vinyl instead of 8-tracks. I bought it for the song Powderfinger. I remember that I b... | |
| ???Safely Trading Gear Between Private Parties??? Make sure the other party is ethical, moral, and truthful. | |
| Buddy Miller on songwriting (and other musical topics). Thumbs up for Buddy Miller! | |
| Using both balanced and single ended outputs at the same time? @steakster , whether the circuit is truly balanced or the outputs are balanced in name only should not have an effect on OP using one pair connected to his amp and the other pair connected to his sub. |
