| 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. | |
| Tube Preamps Should Have This Feature @ghdprentice power tubes do age faster, but those are in the output stage of an amplifier, not in the power supply section usually, though some power tubes can be used as rectifiers and in some regulation positions. | |
| Tube Preamps Should Have This Feature @ghdprentice both my pieces of equipment have tube rectified power supplies, no solid state devices in the power supplies. | |
| Herron Audio...Still in business @soix almost every high end audio component made can be hard to find proprietary components like circuit boards even if the company is still in business. These companies don't generally keep a stock of this stuff for discontinued items very... | |
| Tube Preamps Should Have This Feature I just leave my tube preamp and tube DAC on all the time, unless I'm away for more than a day or during thunderstorms. I have no problem with tube life. | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? You must not have had a big krell amp if you were constantly clipping it. | |
| Preamp for a GaN-FET amp... I don't see Ralph using opamps for his preamps, so I really don't know what he is talking about. | |
| They know we will pay anything they can think of Sounds to me like the OP wants a $22,000 preamp for $1,200 . I would like a Bentley for the price of a Kia, but that's not how the world works. | |
| Five feet from the front wall @bdp24 I take it you were not direct driving the Divas, it's a whole different animal if you are using an active crossover and directly driving the speaker. I don't like using subwoofers with the apogees, I've never heard a subwoofer that has th... | |
| Five feet from the front wall @bdp24 I have apogee duetta 2 speakers and my room is on the live side, but my speakers are just over 82" from the wall and sound great without any damping. I think it depends if you have them far enough from the wall behind the speaker you may n... | |
| Five feet from the front wall Why don't we just say the wall behind the speaker? | |
| Five feet from the front wall I found that my apogee duetta 2 sound best 82" from the wall, there is no bass problem as long as you have proper amplification. |
