| Tube amp/ preamp advice I’d stay away from flea powered amps. 800 sq.ft.is still a good size area. You’ll need power particularly if you are going to crank it. Years ago, I had a friend who converted his garage into a party room. About same size as your loft. He had ... | |
| network switches and cables. @jazzman7 @mgrif104 thanks very much to you both. This is exactly the type of feedback that is very helpful to me. @sns although on the other hand I find it interesting that with the modem/router in the same room as the streamer, as is my case (... | |
| Tube amp/ preamp advice Are you sure you mean 2800 sq. ft. not 280. If 2800 you’ll need some power, even with La Scala's. Maybe someone with theater amplification experience will chime in. | |
| Looking for Advice on My Nearfield Setup – KEF Q350 + Yamaha A-S501 + Topping E30 II Speakers are much too high and far apart too. Sound currently is shooting over your head. Should be on 24” stands and probably no more than around 5 ft. apart. I’d start with speaker placement and go from there. Component selection and compatibili... | |
| Seeking a recommendation for 12Au7 tubes for Conrad Johnson ET6SE preamplifier Very nice unit. The phono section takes 3 tubes, 12ax7 and 12au7 depending on high or low gain if your unit is equipped with phono. Line takes 1ea 6922. Unless things have changed. Be very careful with OS tubes in the phono. Most will be too ... | |
| Innuos Pulsar - Some Interesting Info for Innuos Owners @grannyring very interesting that you were able to eliminate your switch and muon filter. I recently upgraded to the Pulsar from an Aurender N200 with the biggest improvement being how much quieter the Pulsar is. I too was able to eliminate my (... | |
| What happened to the Innous discussion @randymaqp I went from the N200 to a Pulsar. They’re both very nice units but IMO you made the right decision. You’re too diplomatic. These forums are full of “experts” with “decades of experience” that because of their vast knowledge believe you... | |
| Tube Pre/ Class D Amp - Who has done it? @j-wall if you don’t miss the heat I’m not sure that OTL’s are the way to go. Although it is nice to listen in your skivvies during the winter. In all seriousness though, I think they should match up nicely with your Allnic. Just be sure your spea... | |
| Are Merlin TSM speakers buried with their owners? Ever hear of Ruby Heart Red coffins? | |
| LHY Audio Unveils EFI Ethernet Fibre Optic Isolator I use Lan IPuriefier Pro a similar device for less money. It does help clean up things and worth the investment, imo. Have not heard the LHY device but knowing the quality of what Vineshine typically promotes, and the improvement I get from my IFI... | |
| Tube Pre/ Class D Amp - Who has done it? I use Atma-Sphere Class D amps during the summer with an Atma-Sphere tube preamp. It’s a very nice combination as you might expect. I still prefer the Atma-Sphere tube amp during the remainder of the year unlike some who have reported here in th... | |
| Can you do anything to make power tubes last longer ? I’ve always liked the RCA 12au7 black plates. I remember discussing them on another thread with you and Mulveling. I’m currently using RCA 5816A black plates as a driver in one of my amps. They’re a little more refined and warmer than the 12au7 an... | |
| Can you do anything to make power tubes last longer ? @inna congrats on finding the Mullards at hopefully not too an outrageous price. I’m sure you’ll be very happy you did. I had similar experiences, though different amps but the same tubes, and found that the SED never gave me as good an experience... | |
| Seeking a Power Conditioner marco1, not sure I would take advice from someone that can’t spell "wear ".... touche | |
| Are Headphones Fit for Serious Music Listening? Headphones are for when you’re bored thinking about upgrades to your speaker system or when your better half continues to tell you to turn it down. I own 2 very nice dedicated headphone amps and 3 sets of headphones. Oh, and easily get bored. |
