| Balanced/Differential tube preamplifier recommendation? Does ARC follow the balanced standard, Ralph has said in the past that they don't follow the balanced standard. | |
| Wall outlets @erik_squires You must have purchased counterfeit Furutech locking bananas, I have seen no such problem with them. | |
| Balanced/Differential tube preamplifier recommendation? You do not need a differentially balanced preamp in order for it to integrate into your system, you just need balanced inputs and outputs. | |
| Tube Testers? Are There Any New Ones To Consider? Space tech Labs makes a few different tube testers, I think he has one model that will test the 120/150 and most of the preamp tubes. | |
| Riddle me this.... How would you get absolute polarity if some instruments were recorded in phase and some out of phase on the same song, I wouldn't doubt if this happens when recording at multiple recording studios. | |
| Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Ruins the Song ‘Money’! @grislybutter They do have the longest charting album in history, so must be a lot of people like their music. | |
| Cable elevators @curtdr You didn't respond to the measurable difference. There is a measurable difference of lower capacitance when cable risers are used. I also don't convince myself that there is a positive difference just because I've spent money on somethin... | |
| Leaving my amplifier on ok? @bishop148 Electrolytic capacitors and relays definitely have a life expectancy, so there are components in audio equipment that need to be replaced. | |
| Cable elevators @curtdr How is it a big scam if it cost nothing or next to nothing and there is an actual measurable difference? | |
| 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. |
