| Cable elevators https://positive-feedback.com/audio-discourse/bunking-cable-lifters/ On positive feedback there is an article on bunking cable lifters, they actually measured a difference in capacitance with cable lifters in place. | |
| Riddle me this.... I have reversed the polarity of my apogee duetta speakers because my preamp inverts phase, the voices are centrally located and the focus is just fine. | |
| Is this describing a blown tube, or two blow tubes? Tube testers don't use real world plate current under load, so the life test doesn't mean much. | |
| Is this describing a blown tube, or two blow tubes? @ghdprentice I agree, even if you had a tube tester that was calibrated and working properly, they are of limited use especially for power tubes. | |
| Is this describing a blown tube, or two blow tubes? Tube testers are not very good for matching tubes, you may be able to weed out a shorted tube though. | |
| Leaving my amplifier on ok? I did have a carver receiver go up in flames, but it only lasted a split second, and unless there was a lot of paper and kindling on top of the receiver there was no chance of a fire. | |
| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? @emergingsoul you do realize that a 300 watt tube amp will not have the harmonic distortion content like a set amp would have. | |
| SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)? I don't consider Cary audio the very best example of tube equipment. | |
| Leaving my amplifier on ok? @pindac I have never heard of an insurance company not paying because of the reasons you state, do you have some examples? | |
| Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better? @bolong What if you are not overdriving the amp or preamp? Tubes still sound better for some reason. | |
| Krell Multiamp Chassis and Hum @erik_squires Exactly what I did when I first got my krell ksa 300s and had to use an AVR for a preamp, I had ground loop hum and it disappeared when I disconnect the coax from cable tv. | |
| This e-mail has been cryogenically treated How would you ever verify if your speaker cables are 99.99% OFC copper? | |
| Tube Preamp: How many tubes does it take to ................. My next line stage is going to have 6 power tubes in the signal path. | |
| Tube Preamp: How many tubes does it take to ................. Just because a preamp has multiple tubes doesn't necessarily mean they all have to be matched. I know of a line stage that has 10 tubes in the signal path and only pairs need to be matched. | |
| Tube Preamp: How many tubes does it take to ................. Power tubes can even be used in a preamp, one manufacturer I know of uses power tubes in some of his preamps and DACs. |
