| Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)? Space tech labs QA112 preamp, made my krell amp sound so much better paired with my apogee duetta 2 speakers. | |
| Best Way To Maximize Preamp Tube Life? I leave my tube preamp on 24/7 because I have a class A solid state amp that takes a long time to sound it's best. | |
| Are all amps being built wrong? Because a current drive amp is only useful with a speaker that has a flat impedance. Otherwise the amp will act as a tone control and follow the dips and peaks of the speaker's impedance curve. This can hardly be called "accurate"!How useful would... | |
| Best Way To Maximize Preamp Tube Life? Tubes are NOT like fine wine! They DO NOT improve with age! If fact when they are brand new and at 100% cathode emissions that is their peak performance. They only decline with use as the cathode coating gets used up. James Bongiorno pointed this ... | |
| Dedicated 20a lines, 125 feet distance, which gauge wire to run? I would put a sub panel in and then run your 4 dedicated outlets from the sub panel. | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope "AES E-Library » Cable Pathways Between Audio Components Can Affect Perceived Sound Quality" https://www.aes.org/e-lib/browse.cfm?elib=21109 | |
| Anyone here using vintage speakers? I have two pair of vintage speakers, apogee duetta 2 and polk audio sda2a's. The apogee's are bone stock, and the Polk's have been upgraded with new tweeters, high end capacitors, resistors and inductors, | |
| The "Snake Oil" Trope I’m tempted to explain what I mean by “data"If by data you mean measurements, there are some things in audio measurements don't explain, for instance capacitors can measure the same but different brands made of different materials can sound diffe... | |
| Quantum Science Audio Thread why don't the manufacturers get on board if the sound improves so dramaticallySame reason that someone can go in and change resistors, capacitors, and wire to much better quality than what the manufacturers used when the product was designed, cost. | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... Some people are so gullible, they feel the rain and open their umbrellas. Others are more sophisticated data people, they check the weather report and if it says dry, they act accordingly. Because they know weather reports are science and all the ... | |
| Do tubes matter beyond gain stage on preamp? Not sure why power supply tubes in a preamp impact harmonics? Maybe cause it cleans up power. If input components, eg streamer/phonostage, connected to preamp all have great power supply than preamp power tubes would seem less important.I don't ... | |
| GaN by GaN Class-D with SMP complete for $940, ready to go just put in a box. If someone on this forum buys it and it doesn’t sound good will you buy it from them at full price? | |
| Do tubes matter beyond gain stage on preamp? It depends on the topology of the preamp, as to how many tubes are used. | |
| If Power Cords Don't Matter... We will always have half the audiophile community who build poor systems. The cable skeptics do so brilliantly. This is true, most of the cable skeptics systems that I've heard are just loud and don't sound very good. | |
| How long does Class A have? Pretty short list compared to the thousands who say otherwise! It's short because these scientists were the only ones who dared to go public, there are many more. Any climate scientists that disagree that man may not be the cause or study alternat... |
