| Do any amps have 6 ohm taps for 6 ohm impedance? with the minimum being 3.8, I'd go with the 4ohm taps.... | |
| Tube flash Jea, perhaps I didn't express myself well. I'd NEVER stick a tube like that back into my amp. | |
| are subwoofers anti-audiophile? Kij,Bosendorfer Imperial Grand goes an octave lower than the standard '88'.I have an early CD by Telarc, CD-80040 which shows the instrument off to best advantage.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bösendorfer Low pedal tone on a pipe organ goes to abou... | |
| Tube flash Do tubes come already gettered?Would the flash be the last oxygen in the tube being consumed?If this happened on a tube in-service, I'd remove it from the circuit.don't use your amp as a tube tester?! how COULD you? | |
| Magnepan 1.7 My approach to getting a sub to play well with my 1.6s is to cross over the sub nearly as low as possible.When I first did the setup, I let it go for a day or so. Then I slowly, over a period of weeks turned the crossover frequency down and adjust... | |
| New Pre-amp for Dipole system Correct me if I'm wrong. I have never owned tube gear, but doesn't the low power end up things last a long time? Once you are up and stable, shouldn't the tubes in a pre last for several thousand hours? If you can hear the change from day to day, ... | |
| Connect 3 High Current Amps to a Power Conditioner I have a 5510 in use for the past 10 years or so. Great unit.First, the 'regenerator' part of the logo refers to a small isolation transformer.Follow the 'schematic' on the units top plate and connect all your low current and digital stuff to this... | |
| Skiing Ninja Magnepan 1.6 xover upgrade How much for DIY? That sure depends......and depends.Are you going to go wacky and buy the most expensive caps? OR will you be happy with middle of road.... say Clarity SA? Connectors? Budget or over the top? I've been looking into this and the In... | |
| Skiing Ninja Magnepan 1.6 xover upgrade Mike's rite. The caps that come stock in the 1.6 are Solon. Not bad, but certainly not up to the highest end standards.Likewise, the inductor is an iron core, NOT aircore, so at those highly vaunted power levels Magnepan owners like to talk about,... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 If you think of them as MG1.6 'improved' I don't think you can go too far wrong.As for amps / placement / setup, they are still Magnepan which means lots of space in back of 'em and sufficient quality power. Details count here.....They will NOT be... | |
| Adcom GFA-555 fuse stuck The big question remains. Why and HOW do you melt a fuse holder? Can the amp 'take it'? Sure doesn't seem like it. You are apparently running this at redline for long time periods. | |
| Best Multi channel amp under $2,000 used or new Fringe idea:Outlaw 7500 5x200 for about 1600 or5 @ M2200 which is there monobloc. This is also about 200 watts.Balanced inputs here, too. <300$ per when buying a bunch. | |
| Why are my mosfet fuses blowing? I just went back to the Original Post.I'd redo / re terminate or otherwise look at the speaker connections / wire.This problem came on 'over the last year' which tells me something is changing.Speakers also change from cool/normal to hot. The impe... | |
| Best of XLR cable? Mogami | |
| best speaker wire for buck If the paradigm studio 100 is as tough on amps as some other Paradigms in the past, I'd wait for a while until everything settles in. |
