| Anyone heard the Scorpio? Naughty naughty, you didn't SEARCH, did you? If you had, you would have found this http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1136849518&read&keyw&zzscorpio , wherein I called the sound from the Scorpios possibly the best-overal... | |
| 6550 vs. KT88: What's different about the sound? At $29 each or $65 per matched pair, The matching fee of $7 per pair is now reasonable. I recall a few months ago Penta was charging an UNreasonable matching fee, something like $20/tube IIRC.Warrantee is 6 months, BTW.. | |
| 6550 vs. KT88: What's different about the sound? 1st, go to the tube asylum... http://www.audioasylum.com/scripts/tv.pl?forum=tubes&s=U ...and SEARCH there; you'll find a lot. If you decide on '88s, I recommend the Penta/Shuguang KT88SC. They're only $29 each and sound quite nice. I changed ... | |
| Tube amp recommendation for Gallo Reference 3's The stories about lack of reliability are of early amps; the late ones are quite reliable indeed. The North-American distributor is in Canada and has established repair centers all over the US. ASL products are as reliable as any other vacuum-tube... | |
| 2 stereo amps in a mono-block config = 2 x power? Ghost, I know you're wrong but I don't know enough about it to argue your psuedo-science. Paralleling works. SOMETIMES bridging works, as in now having enough power whereas one didn't before.. | |
| 2 stereo amps in a mono-block config = 2 x power? Dan, there's lots of misinformation here and some good advice from John. But allow me to again* explain paralleling and bridging amplifier channels.Connecting the stereo amp's positive binding posts together and the negative terminals** together a... | |
| Multi channel preamps TAS issue 160, March, 2006, HP's Workshop, part II, Equipment Notes, page 106. I quote partially: "...it brings something to my Super Maggie/Meitner system that had been missing. ... With the MET1 in the system, the flesh of the sound, the overton... | |
| Multi channel preamps Copland makes a 6-channel all-analog tubed preamp, model CVA 306http://www.divertech.com/coplandcva306.html, that retails for $2800. C-j's new one, also tubed, the MET1, retails for $7500, and Harry Pearson in 'The Absolute Sound' just gave it a r... | |
| Tube amp recommendation for Gallo Reference 3's Tonally I find them QUITE attrative without being colored...maybe it's that triode sound I love. I've replaced the 10 coupling caps per amp; mine sound cleaner throughout the MR and treble than they did before the cap change. They image quite larg... | |
| Tube amp recommendation for Gallo Reference 3's Tantra, done anything yet?. | |
| Tube amp recommendation for Gallo Reference 3's Tantra, since you already have 225WPC/8, and since you listen to rock and probably use every bit of those 225WPC farly often, I suggest Antique Sound Lab Hurricanes. They use 4 pairs of commonly available KT88 output tubes per amp for their 200 Wa... | |

| KT-88/ 90 choices to replace my new stock tubes The Penta/Shuguang closed-plate KT88SC @ $29 is still getting raves from users on the Tube Asylum. Mine sure sound good.http://www.pentalaboratories.com/product.asp?dept%5Fid=5020&pf%5Fid=KT88SC+SHUGUANG. | |
| Using Conrad Johnson MV60 or MV60s as mono amps G, paralleling the channels of a tubed* stereo poweramp creates a single channel with exactly the combined power into half the individually rated impedance. IOW, if you leave an MV60's output transformers' taps wired for 4 Ohms as they are at the ... |
