| 聖HIJIRI Users thread @thyname, I think you have been misinformed. Resistance is not futile. Resistance is Voltage divided by Current 🙄 Interesting thread though the Million range is beyond my allowance. I'm keen to read more about the 'budget' line, particularly th... | |
| Recommend new EL84 tubes OK, interesting you mentioned the EL83. Is there a strong reason for considering these especially when there is the extra expense of adapters and doubling up of pin connections. It's certainly doable if the sound quality is worth it. I just have n... | |
| Recommend new EL84 tubes I have tracked down some Brimar/Marconi black plate 1950s 12AT7 but have not yet decided on el84s | |
| Recommend new EL84 tubes Sure, if the tubes are overdriven they won't last. Perhaps Kevin doesn't sell the Gold Lions. 🙄 In his video he's talking about putting an EL34 into an amp that is biased to run KT88s and so driving the plates beyond their rated max. dissipation... | |
| Recommend new EL84 tubes Never heard of NessTone. The price seems very fair, perhaps too fair. Are they rebranded Chinese? @dekay, That's is a little disconcerting. Perhaps because they have been used in guitar amps which usually overdrive them. Some audio amps also drov... | |
| Recommend new EL84 tubes It's not just the power tubes that effect the sound. Sure, that's why I posted : "He also needs a pair of 12AT7's. Best quality needed for this position" Your link to audiotubes is great. I have just been reading the ECC81/12AT7 page. I did n... | |
| Recommend new EL84 tubes Firstly, thanks to all who have responded. The originals were certainly reliable and have lasted well and the sensible thing would be to use them again but my mate is asking for something that sounds better. My last experience in a DIY amp of min... | |
| Recommend new EL84 tubes Glad you mentioned PSVANE. Some friends I have now lost contact with either loved or hated them. The ones who hated them stems more from reliability than their sound. Do you think PSVANE EL84 are any good? | |
| Big Below 15k used that can play loud as heck @danager+1, the Altec VOTT will do the job and do it beautifully. Although it uses a 15"/16" driver it does benefit from well integrated subs. You will probably find it with the 511 horn for the high range. Remember they were used for cinema and ... | |
| Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music I encourage everyone who is on the fence about adding a subwoofer or not to read and comment. I think that either way you'll be able to make more informed buying and configuration choices. Oh dear, the OP seems bent out of shape. You assume to... | |
| Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music subs don't have to be 12" or even 10" they can be 8" or even 6". They don't have to be boxes either they can be tubes Yes, indeed. The 3 subs I mentioned in my earlier post were discussed with my mate and his wife where I made suggestions about... | |
| Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music It's simple, if you are serious about achieving great sound there are two requirements: room treatment and a DBA system. Read articles from Welti, Floyd and Geddes This will lift your system above the pedestrian, that is any system not employing ... | |
| How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers? @zinda, That's a long first post, welcome to the forum. I think you are a little confused regarding crossover caps and ESR. Hint: ESR is a non-issue for XO caps. We are talking audio frequencies here, not RF | |
| What makes the biggest difference in sound quality? @ ted_denney OP I have heard systems with a set of cables all from the same brand and not knocked out with the result. In one particular instance where all Audioquest was used I introduced a DIY power cable to try instead of the Audioquest PC whi... | |
| Amplfiers that Sound like Pass 30.8 that are not so heavy I agree fully with the above post. I still own the original GAS Son of Ampzilla. Designed by James Bongiorno, a brilliant and under-recognised designer. When I got the amp I chose it in preference to Pass' Threshold! |
