| buying (NOS) tubes online @cherbib Andy is the best for nos tubes, I've never had a bad tube from him, can't say that for other tube sellers even if they have a good return policy it's still a hassle. | |
| Another Golden Ear test. Why would you need to pick an inexpensive padlock, when you can just break it with 2 7/8" open end wrenches prying against each other, easier than bolt cutters. | |
| What DAC chip does this Space-tech Lab use? A call during business hours and Albert will answer all your questions. He always answers the phone or emails back within a few hours. | |
| Have you asked yourself this question? Well done LP playback is a joy and LP's can be passed on to future generations. They have a provenance that streaming lacks. The streaming user has no way of knowing what generation was used, how the mastering was done. This is not true, yo... | |
| Mastering legend Bernie Grundman explains why the measurement crowd has it all wrong! The measurements only crowds is on par with the high-end price tag gear bragging crowd... The two crowds ignore all embeddings controls and ignore especially acoustics which they reduce not even to room acoustic but to the purchase of few acous... | |
| Mastering legend Bernie Grundman explains why the measurement crowd has it all wrong! Measuring needed to be at least DOZEN of times before cutting ONCE. That's the golden rule of measures. What do you mean by this? Do you mean that the measurements must be taken multiple times? I know a certain somebody that measures many ... | |
| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? @mijostyn so you just choose the DAC that has the output stage built on the chip because it measures great, would you buy a preamp that uses an opamp output stage because it measures better than a discreet output stage? | |
| Ground Loop? @erik_squires the luxman amps i have seen pictures of all have the the class2 insignia. | |
| Ground Loop? @erik_squires your luxman is up to NEC standards I assure you, it is internally grounded. You don't have to have an equipment ground to be NEC approved. | |
| 300b lovers Good to see someone designing this way, I see too much premature tube death from a lot of high end audio designs. | |
| Tube sound is not about warmth. It's about correct presentation. Tubes sound better, (especially linear triode tubes) because they have less distortion than bipolar transistors or FETs. They might not have less distortion in circuit, but transistors need some kind of feedback and triode tubes do not. I also thi... | |
| Linlai Elite vs Psvane Acme 845 What tube manufacturer tested the Linlai tubes? | |
| budget diy tube preamp beating many expensive preamps... problem with my system? @smodtactical the only other preamps I know of that use power tubes in a preamp is space tech lab. He has preamps that can even use kt150/kt 170 and many others. | |
| budget diy tube preamp beating many expensive preamps... problem with my system? It's not the cables, it's the simple circuit design and the use of the 6v6 tube. These types of tubes in a preamp give a big bold sound with better air and instrument separation in my opinion. | |
| Tube Preamps Should Have This Feature @ghdprentice my preamp is space tech Lab qa112 and my DAC is also space tech Lab DA24/196, I'm using a separate power supply with the preamp called a super rectifier STR104 with two 3b22 rectifier tubes each rectifier tube has a 6amp heater current. |
