| 6550/kt88 or el-34 tube? Speaker sensitivity? Room VOLUME in cubic feet? Preferred listening level, ie, LOUD, medium, 'not high at all', etc.?What are you using now and does it run out of power..clip?. | |
| Best speaker that you dont need a sub under 1.5k Eminent Technology LFT-8. $1599 RR, but who's counting?Definitely needs some power, but WELL worth your time.http://www.eminent-tech.com/main.html. | |
| Ultralinear and Triode. What's the difference My my, half-truths and overgeneralizations.Pauly: Running a pentode/tetrode in triode "...does not compromise the working of...the tube or the sound in any way." I'll agree with the 'working' part, but the 'sound' part I disagree with strongly. I ... | |
| ac conditioner I have used virtually no power conditioners/filters over the decades I've been an audiofool; I have used brand-name spike-protecting outlet strips on most of my equipment. I recently had installed 3 dedicated AC lines into the musicroom, but as my... | |
| Interesting review on new subwoofer technology Sherod, what I'd LOVE to have is a SW system that would give me the feeling that the submarine's walls are indeed caving in on me when I watch 'U-571'. I think the TRW is just the ticket, altho my pair of humble Woofers by Bob Dominators do a GREA... | |
| Interesting review on new subwoofer technology I've heard the Thigpen Rotary Woofer at RMAF 2005, and it's a HUM-dinger. I wish I had $25K lying about, because I HAVE the space for the system.Oh well. http://www.eminent-tech.com/main.html. | |
| 845 Tube vs KT90 Bartok, I think your experience with other output tubes is experience with those AMPLIFIERS. An excellent-sounding amp can be built around vurtually ANY output tube. Also, 845-based SETs, which usually have 20 - 25 Watts, may well be short on powe... | |
| Dumb Quest : Amp Clips Or Speakers Blow Up First? 'Clipping' describes the shortening...lowering...chopping off of the complex musical wave. This happens because some stage of the amplifier, usually the output stage, simply has no more Voltage available from the powersupply to follow the original... | |
| Antique Sound Labs Wave AV 25 Monoblocks Hmm...what a cute little thing. http://www.divertech.com/aslwaveav20dt.htmI loved and love the sounds of the 3 pairs of ASL-brand mono poweramps--Explorer 805s, Hurricanes, and now AQ1006(845)s--I've bought new.I used the 50-Watt SETs to drive 84d... | |
| How tubes influence sound The answer to your 3 questions is 'yes'.Different tubes can change the tonal balance, the level of detail retrieved, and the level of distortion added--and probably more.Differences in tonal balance can make the system sound forward or recessed, b... | |
| Best Tube Tester for 6SN7 & 6AS7 Generally, there are 2 kinds of tube testers. The more-basic one tests for emissions, while the type that tests actual output measures 'transconductance'. Most manufacturers made both types; the emissions testers (ETs) were less expensive, smaller... | |
| Running monoblocks in parallel to increase watts?? Two amazing things--people who don't know how to use SEARCH, and others who know NOTHING of which they speak.RW, inverting inputs and wiring outputs like that is called bridging. I've never known anyone to try it with tubed amps. PARALLELing chann... | |
| Has anyone listened to the new IDS-25 speakers I heard them at the RMAF, twice. Initially impressed, I came back the next day. Something bothered me but I knew not what...until I visited either the Selah or Salk rooms and heard speakers that used ribbon tweeters. Then I knew what bothered me a... |
