| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode Yes the link was very helpful. It's good that I am very intelligent and can understand these things. Thank you Yes, that is good. I am happy for you. But do not thank me; thank @atmasphere , as he posted the link a few posts before you said ... | |
| Wrapping power cords and interconnects with copper foil. . . . and then there is copper adhesive tape from Amazon @ $9.99 for a 12 yard roll. I think that might be easier to work with than the WalMart roll. One roll MIGHT do all my power cords. | |

| Wrapping power cords and interconnects with copper foil. I just did a search and copper foil is pretty affordable on walMart’s site--$6.69 a roll/free shipping. For that price I’ll try it on my $50 power cords and listen to it, and then I’ll try it on my Kiimber Silver Streaks. If I cannot hear a differ... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode WRT UL, It can be made switchable by having a switch connect the screen of the power tube to its plate as opposed to the tap on the output transformer. Thank you for that, @atmasphere , that's a nice nutshell that even a layman (at best) like m... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode In audio reproduction, linear is sexy. Ultra linear is ultra sexy. If you say so; however, neither word strikes an erotic chord for me. | |
| Klipsch Heresy IV or Revel f226be @james633 , on another bookshelf thread, someone recently recommended the Revel 226 over the 126 the OP had mentioned, because the 226 was not a whole lot more $ and the footprint/floor space is arguably practically the sam. I am constantly secon... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode @immatthewj having delt with both of these characters on amps, different tubes, options, I’ll say you are a bit on your own until you partner with a great local tech who can open up these amps and tell you what’s really going on inside of them. ... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode @emergingsoul Ultra linear is a sexy term used by the manufacturer. Cary has not done a very good job to explain it on their website. ultralinear is a term that is not limited to just one manufacturer, kind of like AC or DC is not limited to ... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode @atmasphere , I probably used the term "voicing" in error. I probably do not even have a layman's grasp on the subject that we are discussing, but at least I keep a relatively open mind and I am always trying to learn more. What I meant was that,... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode A technical reference to triode in marketing literature makes sense, it’s not sexy. Ultra linear Whatever it is that it does is a sexy marketing term. If it’s switchable that’s probably discouraging a lot of people from taking it seriously especi... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode @decooney , I found the receipt for the Mundorf capsI bought from PCX: they were the 71552s (0.22 uF 1000 Dc Supreme SilverGoldOil) @ 52.68 each. | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode @emergingsoul I think the term ultra linear is marketing in nature and I dare say most people have no clue what they’re buying when they do. But ultra linear does drift more toward solid state and isn’t that what we’re really saying overall ... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode Does your V12 still have the original Audio1 coupling caps installed in it? @decooney , no, it came with Jensen caps, and so far that is the only true failure (one of those original caps), and I won't go into the details, but I think that may h... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode @decooney , I really liked the sound of my V12 with the Ruby branded EL34s it came with, and I am assuming that those were the same as the Chinese tubes you just referred to. I don't think that I will be rolling any tube types other than the EL34... |
