Dust cap pushed in by kiddos... best home remedy?
Hi op, was curious how your dust caps came out, any update? 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
I am very interested in the answer to prof's questions above. Especially as it pertains to what impact aging tubes will have on the sonics of a preamp, other than "hiss"?  I think another way of asking the question is that if you replace a set of ... 
Nuforce STA200
Hi japol, waiting for Mr. D to chime in.  But when you mention having a noise without any input connected.  Do you mean the noise is coming from the amp when there is no preamp or speakers connected?  If that is the case I would think it is defect... 
Nuforce STA200
Hi mesch, not to worry, you don’t come off as faulting the amp at all. The way I look at it, whatever faults it has, it doesn't owe me anything.  
Nuforce STA200
I did not have the too high a gain preamp/amp mismatch with my tube preamp.  While we have certainly discussed this problem here and read about it, I am curious if anyone has actually experienced the gain issue and if so:1. Did the problem create ... 
The KEF LS50 price drop has me considering a small system for my office. Suggestions?

Catastrophic Accident! What To Do!?
dobnbavs "I’ve had a 10000 Basis turntable on a wall mount break and crash down on a VAC tube amp. The TT was toast but aside from a dented transformer the amp was just fine." and "Some of these other statements are foolish, maybe the most, buy a ... 
Nuforce STA200
My STA200 was/is dead quiet.  I am told some systems could have a gain issue which from what I understand means that if you pair the STA200 which has a high gain with a preamp having high gain you can end up with the hiss you mention.  One fix for... 
Catastrophic Accident! What To Do!?
You guys must have a lower homeowners deductible than most.  But if your coverage does pick up some of it, you also have to make sure it doesn't raise future premiums, just like auto insurance.  No free rides. 
Catastrophic Accident! What To Do!?
You know, if it will work with your speakers, you can pick up a Nuforce STA200 amp for $499 at Audio Advisors.  I have had one for about a year now and its seems fine on my 85 db 6 ohm speakers.  I believe they have a try it and if you don't like ...
