| Cat Scratch Fever? Awesome coach! Though your ability to think logically may take a hit. :p | |
| Tube Tester Option If you don't live near a dealer who can test tubes for you a tube tester is not a bad investment. That one looks interesting but a bit limited perhaps look into what else is out there? | |
| How far over the limit can I go Usually I wait until a tube gets noisy to worry about it, I've never had a power tube go bad and damage my amp. I have had rectifiers go out twice once taking out a resistor another time blowing a fuse. Probably a wise thing to do is get a retube ... | |
| Question regarding pre-amp and amp Always always turn on source then preamp then amp and the reverse to turn off. Never turn anything in your system on or off while the amp is on. | |
| Mirage M1 with SET amplifier An unlikely pairing but in a small room and at low volumes it could be listenable. If you love the M-1 you should get a more appropriate amp however, a higher powered pushpull amp might work. | |
| Chapman Audio recommitment Great story nothing like upgrading a cherished piece of gear you already have and enjoying the improvement. Stuart sounds like a class act and working with small builders is indeed rewarding. | |
| Integrated amp recommendations for harbeth 30.2 XD Newton if you like the sound you're getting with the Aethos but want to improve on it the Rega Isis seems like an obvious choice. If not as asked above what are you not liking about your current setup? | |
| Brand Synergy @ghdprentice A great couple of posts way to cover the issue thoroughly. | |
| Cat Scratch Fever? @peskywabbit you have a great PM and also a cool username, and agree with you on all points. | |
| Multiple amplifiers shutting down when playing vinyl through a tube phono stage Yes absolutely sounds like DC the timing of retubing is likely just coincidental. | |
| Townshend Audio F1 Fractal Interconnects - Less is More! @edgewound My comment about brass connectors sounding good does not mean good wire is meaningless. My dealer also uses Audio Note wiring inside the amps, he's not skimping with brass he just thinks it sounds better in that application. | |
| USING AFTERMARKET PLATE AMP FOR SUBWOOFER Calvin I assume you've checked with Velodyne and they won't sell you a replacement amp? If not you should try that. | |
| This forum is antiquated. I forgot I had an Audiokarma account logged in recently I had like 742 alerts! :D I like the Hoffman forums myself. | |
| what does it mean if your cassette deck playback and recording sounds warbly? That's wow and flutter and if you hear it on all your recording send the deck back it's not working right. If it's just a few it's on those recordings it happens. | |
| Connect cable modem/router to different circuit than audio? If you can do it you should I moved my router closer to my system because I had too and it started creating noise in my system. As soon as I moved the router farther away the noise stopped. It’s a real issue anything you can do should help. |
