| 300b lovers I want to share my thoughts about this equipment and about the show, and a little about my experience in the room. The opportunity to hear the Raven and Blackbirds and (hopefully) meet two people I’ve only "met" on the internet was a major reason ... | |
| Coda 16 vs. Pass Labs xa60.8 I owned an innersound electrostatic amplifier which is similar in design to the Coda amplifiers. It was superb. However, I suggest you check to see how loud you are typically listening, and, by extension, how much power you are using. You might ... | |
| 300b lovers Is anybody else building IT-coupled PP DHT amps these days? Kinda' seems like these amps are going to be (justifiably) pricey when they come out. | |
| 300b lovers Here's a question for @atmasphere - Though I'd welcome the comments from anyone else on this thread - these are all related to the question of what causes a power tube to wear out - 1. Does it matter what volume a power tube is played at? Does ... | |
| 300b lovers So, Lynn, given your comments, would an experienced technician know where to start to make these kinds of modifications? Or are they too obscure for the average tech to understand and execute... | |
| 45 Lovers - what are your favorite tubes? Has anyone here heard the TJ Full Music graphite plate tubes? It seems that most folks who use TJ Full Music tubes go for the perforated plate tubes for the visual experience. I recall reading a history of the owner/founder of TJ Full Music and II... | |
| 300b lovers This thread has been informative and inspiring and I’m looking forward to hearing these amps at the PAF next month. This thread has also caused me to reflect on the question of "what should I do" or "what should we do?" given the fact that Don &a... | |
| 45 Lovers - what are your favorite tubes? @carlsbad2 Jerry - Your photos are bitchin'. Looks like a really cool setup, and awesome that you can swap tube types like you describe. That would really have me obsessing constantly. @atmasphere The RCA shouldered tubes do sound great and are s... | |
| 300b lovers This is probably the best, most informative thread on Audiogon. Just insane amounts of obscure technical information and experience being shared. Not that I really understand it. Looking forward to the PAF opportunity to hear what this all sou... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread Regarding the use of adapters - In the owners manual Mick cautions against "excessive" tube rolling, because it can cause the sockets to eventually lose some of their grip. Hence I use socket savers. | |
| 300b lovers I meant to post this question the other day, but it apparently disappeared into the ether - Who, on this thread, plans to attend the Pacific Audio Fest this year? | |
| Who are your favorite custom amp builders for low powered triode amps? Sounds so cool. Thanks for sharing. | |
| 聖HIJIRI Users thread Hey all - my question is about where you started (front end or back end) with your cable upgrades - Streamer or transport to DAC? DAC to preamp? Preamp to power amp? Speaker wires? Kind of seems like improvements at the front end will benef... | |
| Tube amps - what 3 things… My advice is to download the Decibel X-pro audio app for your smartphone So you can get a rough idea of how loud you like to listen. This will make a big difference. I used to think that high power was required then I got speakers that were 93dB e... | |
| Power cord - 5 ft vs 10 ft ? @jumia Thank you for your kind comment about my record collection. It has been fun and still is growing, though at a slower rate. How do I choose what to play? Great, great question. Believe it or not, mostly i am streaming these days. Saves wea... |
