| Bi-amping with "split mono-blocks"? Sonds like an excellent idea to me, and also an excellent choise of amps--I too had 2. Go for it.. | |
| See it frequently: What exactly is a "troll"? One goal of a troll is to incite a 'riot', to stir up a hornets' next. Apparently they aren't much interested in learning anything or helping anyone--they just want to make trouble.. | |
| Antique Sound Lab Hurricane Problem "Criticism is often confused with the truth don't you think?"Oh yes, and sometimes it's the same, and sometimes it's opposite.. | |
| Antique Sound Lab Hurricane Problem My my, rather critical today, aren't we, Judy? Looks as if you're attitide is negative enough for some of the Audio Asylums.. | |
| What happened to the loudness control? Well, maybe SOMEONE does, but probably he/she is also using tone controls. It (and tone controls) is just one of many 'bells and whistles' that does NOT appear on high-end audio equipment.. | |
| Combined bi-wire speaker cables? Barry, I believe it highly unlikely that you'd be able to separate the conductors at the amp end to turn your 2 single-biwires into 4 separate cables for biamping. I think you have 2 single cables that got 2 bunches of conductors separated for biw... | |
| Power amp for Quad 988s You are very welcome. One caution--I have NO idea if the 988's base size is compatible with the Gradient. Do look carefully at that.I've done very little room treatment. Fortunately what I did to a 14x19x8' living room in 1982 turned out to be VER... | |
| Antique Sound Lab Hurricane Problem MANY tubed poweramps consume a resistor when a tube shorts, and I've replaced a few. That's why conrad-johnson and other manufacturers of tubed poweramps place fuses on the high-Voltage rail. You might consider having someone add those to your amps.. | |
| Power amp for Quad 988s OK...some observations for whatever they're worth.1. If you think you love the lush, musical richness of EL34 output tubes, consider a new MV60. Not only does it have about 1-1/4 deciBels more power (60 Watts instead of 45), it uses the same large... | |
| Power amp for Quad 988s Which c-j tubed poweramp is underpowered? How big is your room? Musical tastes? Desired loudness levels? Subwoofers? Running 988s full-range?HELP US HELP YOU!. | |
| Multichannel Preamp Way to go, Jimmy--you're one of the few who knows how to (not) punctuate 'multichannel'. Most of us get it wrong!I can't compare my Audio Refinements Pre 5 6-channel preamp with anything but its predecessor, a Marantz pre/pro/tuner, the AV9000. Ge... | |
| Tube power vs Solid state power, how much is enoug Blindjim, what'd you end up doing?. | |
| EL 34 vs. KT 88 ---- What's the difference? First, the power outputs of the 2 vary significantly. In pentode/ultralinear/beam-tetrode mode, for which both were designed, a pair of '88s is capable of as much as 100 Watts, altho perhaps 70 is more common, while the '34's typical max. per pair... | |
| Audio Research LS-15 Infincaps "I saw tubedepot on the web before, just dodn't know how reliable those guys are. Is it safe to buy tubes from them?"Christian at Tube Depot has treated me very well over many transactions. He has accepted returns when I ordered the wrong things a... | |
| Audio Research LS-15 Infincaps He wrote "...Ei 6dj8". Ei is the abbreviation that a European company named something like Electrical Industries uses. They're available all over, are quite inexpensive, and certainly are among the best-value NP tubes around. Here's one source htt... |
