| Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components Thanks everybody for the input so far, but I have a theory...both preamps have exhibited the same problem; both have an exposed tube design on top of the unit. The preamp sits on a shelf enclosed in thick wood (pine) open in front and back. If the... | |
| Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components @geoffkait , what do you mean by mass on spring? | |
| Vibration Control for Lightweight Tube Components It's not the tubes. It's a new Atma-sphere pre, new tubes, and I have also rolled in some other tubes. IMO, the unit needs to absorb vibration or be decoupled from the shelf.My previous Rogue preamp, also with exposed tubes, experienced the same p... | |
| Unamplified Classical Music is the Best There's nothing better than hearing Classical music in a well designed concert hall. Every season I attend the Philadelphia Orchestra's performances and unfortunately the venue is over-damped, so seating choice is a factor in obtaining quality sound. | |
| Which Preamp Audio Research LS3B or Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 @edenton925 ... just FYI, the original Sunfire 300 is not a fully balanced amplifier. (Years 1996-2000)If your amp has "300 - two" printed on the lower left faceplate, then it has a balanced design. (Year 2004, aka the Sunfire 300 x 2)Input sensit... | |
| Upgrading power cables I agree with upgrading the source first. But, don't discount the importance of a good PC on the preamp. The preamp influences the timbre of your system, especially a tube preamp since tube rolling can change detail, soundstage, dynamics and colour... | |
| suggestions for small speaker. floorstander of bookshelf. Gallo Classico CL-2 monitors are a transmission line speaker with very open sonics. Underwood Hifi has a close-out sale here on Audiogon with the Gallo subwoofer. | |
| Gaining Audio Equipment Knowledge? Want Pre+Amp Under 3K Are you asking for advice on a 2 channel stereo setup, while keeping your HT?Can you list your speakers, room size and source? List your current HT receiver. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... @audiolabyrinth Sounds good, thanks for the advice. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... It seems to me that there is always a risk when using an audiophile fast blow fuse in an amplifier, since the "nominal melting point" is unknown (compared to major fuse manufacturers who publish their specs).With amps that use a slow blow fuse, th... | |
| Power cable for Marantz PM 15S2 Audience PowerChord se. Very open, natural sonics. I own PowerChords, and I’m told that the SE version has more high-end extension.The premium Audience cable is the AU24 series. Also, Cardas Clear is a more neutral cable than the Golden Reference. | |
| what kind of amp. are good for b&w 802d that will not cost my arm and legs? Do you have a manual for the Yamaha rx 3050 receiver and where did you buy it? You can drive all your speakers from this receiver, since it contains a 150 watt amplifier.Going by the info on the following website, you can run up to 7 speakers, 2 c... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Open question: what differences are you noticing when changing from the SR Red to the SR Black? | |
| Opinions Needed! There are many other high-end tube dealers other than Upscale Audio. That's an expensive RCA Cleartop; they are one of the most affordable tubes. | |
| Dedicated Line Advise @imjustdave, I appreciate your input.I'm adding an additional line so that the power amp can be isolated and have its own breaker. I am aware that if I doubled the voltage to 240V, the current draw from my system would be less. I just don't thin... |
