| TUBE BIAS, socket to me! You may have learned A theory of relativity, but it has nothing to do with Einstein's Theory. | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. This is a dangerous game to play. One man's meat is another man's poison, and all that jazz. There are lots of add on gadgets being sold to audiophiles that have no discernible scientific justification, but inevitably there will be some who swea... | |
| TUBE BIAS, socket to me! Yes, OK. | |
| TUBE BIAS, socket to me! Elliot, I see no reason why you should be surprised that there are no products currently for sale that mimic your Macintosh MX 110, with an FM tuner built into a preamplifier essentially. FM radio is on the rocks. Not many audiophiles even try lis... | |
| Pure tube phono preamp I am glad Atma-sphere spoke up about his MP1 and MP3. I am a happy owner of an MP1 for about 25 years.up the thread, someone asked about the mating of a SUT to a current drive phono stage. That can’t be done. It’s almost an oxymoron. SUTs step up ... | |
| TUBE BIAS, socket to me! Sokogear, It's a personal decision based on your own listening to music. One cannot say for sure exactly which tube amplifier you might prefer to your Plinius SS one. There are many types of tube amplifier, just as there are a few different stand... | |
| 16 ohm speakers: any amp sounds better with more resolution. speaker cables less critical. Ralph, I am not sure what you are saying, because the terms "multimeter" and "DVM" are so often conflated with one another. VTVM is a clear acronym, because you are talking about a vacuum tube voltmeter. But let's take my Fluke 87 meter. It is ... | |
| 16 ohm speakers: any amp sounds better with more resolution. speaker cables less critical. 0.4V = 400mV, not 40mVAnd 0.4V doesn’t make sense as a bias voltage for an amplifier output tube. It’s way too little. Also grid bias should read out as a negative voltage with respect to ground or with respect to cathode voltage. | |
| Need a sut for Hana ml Mulveling, Although it's a fine distinction, his phono stage should add 62db of gain, not 60db, with a 1:10 SUT into the (42db) MM section OR direct into the (62db) MC section, either way. The resulting output would be fed to a linestage before g... | |
| What about Uni Din? Mijo, You assume that at the outermost grooves the increased stylus velocity compensates for tracking angle error. That is actually an interesting question. I am not so sure one can assume that your assumption is correct. They are two different ph... | |
| Need a sut for Hana ml I think at this point we need to hear from the OP.in my opinion, the Hana ML with its 0.4mV output and 7-ohm internal resistance is a typical LOMC. A solution that works for it would work for a wide variety of other LOMCs that produce between 0.25... | |
| Crosley should be arrested for selling junk rather than arresting the people at the Crosley turntable factory, wouldn’t it be more just to arrest persons who buy Crosley turntables and then buy great LPs and subsequently ruin them on their Crosley turntables? | |
| Need a sut for Hana ml Bob and Dover, but didn’t the OP say in his original post (or OP) that he senses less gain via the 1:10 SUT into his MM input (which provides 42db gain per the owners manual on line) than he gets by using the MC inputs of the same preamplifier, wh... | |
| Need a sut for Hana ml Elliott, With all due respect, I sometimes don’t know what you are trying to say. I think you make the SUT business much more complex than it needs to be, but that’s just me. My understanding is or was that the OP found he did not like the SQ he g... | |
| Does Age Matter? Mijo, if you want to take an informal poll for your own amusement, fine. But don’t kid yourself that you are going to arrive at some statistical proof of anything. The vinyl sales data show that purchasers were about evenly distributed among pers... |
