| Tubes for Antique Sound Labs 805 DT Mono Block Amp I've had a pair for a few months and LOVE them. I've modified one--caps and resistors, mostly--and will be comparing it with the stock unit soon.12AX7s are 'thick on the ground' as my back-East friend says. Pick one or many and try them. I've used... | |
| Killing the Myth:Soundlabs with SET 845based ONLY Merry-go-round? Oh yea...now you need to buy a pair of Antique Sound Labs 805 DTs...50 watts from one #805 triode.I'm using a pair to drive my rather-insensitive Quad 989s and LOVE the combination. . | |
| Best power tube for Rogue Audio M120 Magnum Scott, ABSOLUTELY these are all personal opinions, but that's what ludi asked for.Issue 19 of 'Vacuum Tube Valley' ( http://www.vacuumtube.com/vtv.htm ) found the Ei KT90 to be, overall, the best current-production 6550/'88/'90. You might order th... | |
| New Caps for Nait 3 1. If you're considering selling it and it operates correctly, DON'T TOUCH IT until you decide NOT to sell it.2. $300 sounds like a LOT of money to replace capacitors in a poweramp (?), but it's British, isn't it!?!? Does it operate correctly? If ... | |
| Has anyone used the V-cap for mods? I should have added that you'll find more info in Audio Asylum's Tweakers' Asylum, http://www.audioasylum.com/scripts/tv.pl?forum=tweaks .. | |
| Has anyone used the V-cap for mods? Well...probably you'll get as many different cap recommendations as you'll get posts, I think. I've recapped a PV5, several years ago. I used Reliable's MultiCaps, the PPMFXs for the 4 large couplers and the RTX 'styrenes for bypassing the big'ns ... | |
| Audioquest CV-6 or Monster M2.2 Morgan, I use KE-6(8) and KE-4 in my system. When I was using a 2-way speaker, I biwired with that, using KE-4 on the treble. Compared with other good-but-not-current speakercables I had to audition, I found both of these to be much-smoother sound... | |
| Audioquest CV-6 or Monster M2.2 A-1, I auditioned some AQ and Monster ICs last year--see http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/cables/messages/108269.html for details. (Also see http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/cables/messages/108165.html for more opinions on AQ ICs.)The one characte... | |
| Tube amp for Quad 989??? Synergy is right, and I have more than I ever imagined. Bought a pair of Antique Sound Labs 805 DT 50-Watt SETs. WOW. Connected to the 8-Ohm terminals, the system plays as loudly as I can stand with large-scale classical music. When my GEA-friend ... | |
| Suggested amp to pair w/ Aerial 7A's on a budget I believe B&K products are as good as entry-level-high-end stuff gets. There are several 200WPC amps here now.. | |
| external crossover when bi amping? Hmm...I responded to this yesterday, but it's not here, and that's not the 1st time that's happened. This wait-for-the-full-time-babysitter-and-sometimes-your-stuff-doesn't-show policy of A-goN is highly annoying.1. I'd replace your stranded jumpe... | |
| Is 57db gain enough for Dynavector XX-2? You guys can argue about about how much gain one needs or whether Alun needs another fono stage all you want. I stand by my statement--what really matters is how much noise the system has now, and whether Alun can still love the sound of his syste... | |
| external crossover when bi amping? Sonny: "If you have a two way (sic) speaker with one pair of binding posts and an internal crossover, of course, then I don't see any other way of biamping than to disconnect the tweeter and the woofer from the crossover and then connect each dire... | |
| Is 57db gain enough for Dynavector XX-2? The rated output of the Dynavector is 0.23mV, which is 2.4dB less than 0.4mV. That's how much louder the noise will be with the Dynavector. That's a relatively small amount IMO, but you may be more sensitive to tube-rush noise than I am.You won't ... | |
| external crossover when bi amping? George: "If you biamp with different amps the internal x-over must be removed from the equasion (sic)."Absolutely not correct. Biamping with the existing passsive crossovers--and 2 identical amps--is the easiest way to do it. Even if the amps aren... |
