Review: Tube Audio Design TAD-60 Tube amp
I tried the Class A Bias with good results. Most noticeably the mids sounded great. I may even try & mix the 34's with the KT88's. Jeff

Dave,From the bias levels it would be used for the EL34's. I did try it with my stock tubes & it did sound nice. Especially in the mids. Worth a try. Nice to have alternatives.Jeff 
Review: Tube Audio Design TAD-60 Tube amp
Paul has some new bias settings on his site that should be worth trying. The new settings will provide Single Ended Class A for the first 10 watts and Class A/B for 10-50 watts.Dave, I'm using the Penta 88's also and find them to be a good soundin... 
Review: Tube Audio Design TAD-60 Tube amp
New Finding on my oscillating problem. With speakers connected my Feedback knob will function full range with no problems. I read where it's best to have speakers connected on tube amps. Here's what I read, "An output transformer stores inductive ... 
Review: Tube Audio Design TAD-60 Tube amp
Ldatlof,I got the Penta 88's up and running but it took a little tweaking. I normally would Bias with the Feedback fully right but that was not possible. Actually the left channels, V1 & V2 run quite a bit hotter than the other side. V1 has a ... 
Review: Tube Audio Design TAD-60 Tube amp
Ldaltof,Thanks. I thought that was the case. I'm having a problem with my bias pots at this time so I'm kinda stuck at the moment. Left channel won't cooperate and is excessively hot. Not the tubes to my knowledge as I've rolled several with the s... 
Review: Tube Audio Design TAD-60 Tube amp
Hi,For those of you that have rolled the TAD-60 with KT88's what did you set your bias at? Paul's site states 600-625. Just wondering if this is the same with all mfg's. Just thought I'd give Paul a break and ask the forum. I imagine he spends a l... 
What music do you want to play really loud?
T00L!Jeff 
Great music but poor recording recommendations.
I agree with the Iggy & the Stooges recordings...great music, crumby recording. T-rex Slider remaster sounds pretty good. I've seen Electric Warrior remaster available so I'll be picking that up. My Great Music poor recording pick would be Joh... 
Bjork-Vespertine
I'm a fan of both Eno & Fripp. I grew up listening to a lot of King Crimson, Roxy Music, Bowie and the likes, although they were a bit before my time...I had some older friends that turned me on to some great artists. In those days these bands... 
Bjork-Vespertine
I will have to pick up "Post". I'm kind of rediscovering Bjork having listened to her with the Sugarcubes many moons ago. The only other disc I have is the Medulla SACD. Jeff 
Advice on stand alone DAC
Just last week I added a Bel Canto DAC 2 to my Elite 59avi and Redbooks do sound better. Although the 59's DAC is said to be very good I find the Bel Canto to be better. The Bel Canto is hooked up to a tube pre & I use a tube amp. The combinat... 
How to tame the midrange???
Gmood1 makes a good point by taking the processor out of the mix. Have you tried the Denon & Classe only to drive the B&W's? Again, your gear is nice so maybe a process of illimination might be the ticket. Along those lines you can also tr... 
How to tame the midrange???
Hi Baffled,I am using B&W CDM1-NT's as my LR and the mids are similar to what you describe but only usually when I listen to rock or pieces that are heavy in the mid...like a lot of instruments in the same freq range. I use a DAC and have a tu... 
Best female vocals on CD
Lisa Gerrard of Dead Can Dance. Not sure if she's been mentioned but I would highly recommend a listen. CD's worth mention are Dead Can Dance "Towards The Within" & "Spiritchaser".
