| 300b vs 845 Grummer, I've ordered a pair of the new (vertical) versions of the AQ1006s, so your comments are VERY interesting. Other than tubes, are your amps still original...caps, resistors, etc? I've been thru the schematic for the just-superceded version,... | |
| Questions for specialists on “warmth” I have no idea what a 'specialist on "warmth"' is, but I know what 'warm' and warmth' mean.It's a characteristic defined by frequency response, with the upper-bass and lower-midrange frequencies (specifically, from around 100Hz to maybe 500 Hz) hi... | |
| DIY Speakers Bullitt, I just spent minutes in the Home Theater Forum and couldn't find a DIY-speakers forum. Maybe you could post a link, pls?. | |
| antique sound 1009 I've purchased 2 pairs of new ASL poweramps the last couple years. The Explorer 805s and Hurricanes were and are reliable and sound great. Having just built a high-sensitivity speaker system and not needing 120 Watts of triode power, I've ordered ... | |
| bi-amp question If the speakers have only one pair of input terminals, you'll have to modify the crossovers to create separate electrical access to the 2 sections so that you can biamplify them."I know I could get the Klimax solos amps which are designed to do th... | |
| Unsteady SPL Readings What are you feeding it with? The filtered-noise signals most of us use for level matching start as RANDOM noise. Even on the extra-slow setting of my analog meter, which already is easier to read in a dynamic situation than a digital meter, the r... | |
| How to Convert Stereo Amp to Monoblock? NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is called 'bridging', and it's a lot more complicated than Mark is up for. He's gotten lots of advise about paralleling channels in the other same-named thread that apparently you didn't see.. | |
| antique sound lab aq1006 854dt Stella, still have these amps? Contacted DT to determine how to bias them? How do they sound?. | |
| Comparing some mid-line interconnects - thoughts? Hmm...I wouldn't call AQ's US$1K-per-meter-pair Cheetahs to be 'midline' or midpriced, I'd call them expensive.I just replaced 6 pieces of HomeGrownAudio's all-silver IC-4-based ICs with Cheetah. I heard more detail, less edginess, and more-real-s... | |
| What is a 20 Amp circuit ? "...unless it's the only outlet on the circuit -- then it needs to be 20 A."Ha. Good one. Thx.. | |
| What is a 20 Amp circuit ? ...oops......and which has a 20-amp outlet on its end. Otherwise it's a 15-amp circuit.. | |
| How to horizontally bi-amp Maggies "Vertically it's no secret.(sic)Need a mono conversion switch and viola." Huh? One does NOT need a 'mono conversion switch', whatever that is, to biamp vertically. One merely needs a couple 1-to-2 Y-adapters to get the same signal to both channels... | |
| Amazing Solo Piano Recordings My favorite demo-quality piano recording is Horszowski Plays Mozart, Chopin, Debussy, Beethoven; Elektra/Nonesuch CD# 9 79160-2. It's discontinued, but I found 2 copies on Amazon. Mieczyslaw Horszowski was 90-some years old when he recorded this, ... | |
| How do the Electro Harmonix 6sn7's sound? "...the older, good sounding vintage tubes are relatively expensive, i.e., a tung sol (sic) round plate for 125.00+...". Indeed, but your example is the MOST-expensive 'N7* I'm aware of. And going to the EH could be viewed as moving from the best ... | |
| How do the Electro Harmonix 6sn7's sound? I've not heard any, but a friend whose ears I trust says they're somewhat edgy and not very musical sounding. What he says leads me to believe that they sound about as unattractive as the Sovtek 'N7s--thin and edgy, exactly the opposite of the sou... |
