| Focal JM Lab Gilman, glad you like your Focals. I'm very happy with the 806s. If I ever get a bigger listening room I'll go for some of their floor monitors but these have incredible sound for being a bookshelf.Now if I can just get a quiet cooling fan set-up.... | |
| Cooling fans for tube amp Thanks to both the latest posters. Yes, I do need to get the fan speed down and will look for a rheostat today. 3200 rpms is just too much. As I mentioned above, the fan seemed pretty quiet when I powered it up loose on a table- even at full speed... | |
| Cooling fans for tube amp Thanks Newbee. I will go for the rheostat to get the RPMs down and I like the rubber pad idea. Is that something also availible at HD? | |
| Cooling fans for tube amp So I just completed the install and the fan is just too freaking noisey! It hums along at something like 3100 rpms and you just can't stand it for more than 30 seconds. I powered it up prior by itself and it seemed fine but once installed in the c... | |
| Cooling fans for tube amp The amp needs to be on the bottom for low CG and overall stability. I also intend to get some heat tape to attach to the bottom of the immediate shelf above the amp. My Akai tape player is situated directly above. I don't believe I'll run into an ... | |
| Cooling fans for tube amp My plan is to get the 4" fan and mount on the back side of the cabinet. The cabinet does not have doors. There is a 3" circular hole perfectly situated in the 3" space above the top of the amp and the next shelf. The fan should pull ambient air fr... | |
| Cooling fans for tube amp Well I just got the cabinet and set the equipment up. Everything is working great, but yes the underside of the shelf directly above the amp is hot as a skillet. Still thinking of getting some automotive heat tape for the underside of the shelf ju... | |
| Cooling fans for tube amp Bmcleod or Russe41, would you run two 24v DC fans in series causing them to then run at 12v? or how would that work?I will have three shelves in the cabinet with the amp on the bottom. What would be the best positioning for two fans? Originally I ... | |
| Subwoofer connection to older tube amp Right on. Thanks again for your help. | |
| Subwoofer connection to older tube amp Well, everything is hooked-up as described above and no probs, sounds great.Thanks for the input and help. | |
| Subwoofer connection to older tube amp Ok, I called Audio Research and talked with Leonard in the service department. I think he's been there forever and remember speaking with him maybe 15 years ago when I first got this equipment. Anyway, he basically said to go ahead and hook-up the... | |
| Subwoofer connection to older tube amp Also, do I need to run left and right wires or just a single? Right now I'm using an A/V receiver that has the single RCA Sub output and its connected to the left input on the sub. Now I want to switch back to using my Audio Reserch gear. Do I nee... | |
| Subwoofer connection to older tube amp So if I just go with the doubling of the wires off the same 8 ohm speaker output directly from the amp I'll be fine? That would be easiest and I wouldn't have to go out and buy more connectors. | |
| Subwoofer connection to older tube amp Thanks again Sfar. My pre-amp is basically as you state. It has the main line level outputs(RCA) for the amp plus the RCA style tape output. So your saying that I can't use the "tape out", that I would have to split off the main out with one set o... | |
| Cooling fans for tube amp Thanks guys. I did check out a RS fan that was recommended by other users and I should be able to install w/o too much effort.My biggest question that Undertow answered was the push or pull issue and he obviously said to pull the air out of the ca... |
