| What Was Your Favorite “Game Changer” Moment? Et tu, chayro? Same with me, twice! First, Robert Harley convinced me to dig my old Technics SL1700 out of storage. Bent cantilever had to be straightened, okay. Bearing was dry, whatever. No way it is gonna sound that good anyway, right? This is ... | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? Yeah, so these 20 watts are plenty. So weird. Who would have thought. Too funny. Heads explode as millercarbon takes another victory lap. | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? You're saying it would be easier to cut open the amp and unwind windings? Remember to put brain in gear before releasing clutch on mouth. Sage advice from long ago. | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? That’s one interpretation. Another is, it is typical of solid state performance to exaggerate leading edges relative to the full body of the tone. They almost always get this balance wrong, which does have the effect on some guys of thinking this ... | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? Sounds like you got a winner. There is nothing wrong with the Sub Out. It does not adjust level, you do that on the sub not the amp. All the Sub Out does is pass the input signal to the sub. It is outside the pre-amp circuit. That is why it works ... | |
| I get it now It sounds so good, now I need a new turntable ;) Atta boy! | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? Yes way. Based on extrapolation. Several different 50-60 watt tube amps run with different speakers produced bass at least as good as 150-200 watt solid state amps. Compared in the same system. (Part of why I bought them.) With tube amps the ones ... | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? So you ask the designers of amplifiers about speaker design. Fascinating. What do the designers of toasters think, I wonder? Meanwhile, back in the world of sense and logic, we ask speaker builders about speakers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?... | |
| How to find the min and max bending radius of a cable. To find the max bending radius measure the length. Since the max radius is a straight line this works every time. To find the minimum bending radius grasp the left end in the left hand, right end in the right hand, then bring the two hands togeth... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A discontinued It's a keeper, what I said from the beginning and totally unoriginal, was only repeating what others had said before me. One of the many things that sold me on it, the number of guys who said they are done looking. Lots of other stuff to work on, ... | |
| I get it now Congratulations. Enjoy! | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? Sad reality, the speakers you have never will give you the dynamics and volume you want. No matter how many watts you buy. It works like this: sound and power are logarithmic. What that means, your 88dB speakers require TEN TIMES the watts to play... | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? Had a nice long talk with Dave Thompson the other day. We were talking amps. I mentioned my Melody. Dave started describing the Melody he had used way back and still has sitting in a box somewhere. I say that's the same amp, I880 integrated. Dave... | |
| Why don't more recordings have soundstage outside of speakers There's actually a very prosaic answer to this question. When we listen closely we tend to look in that direction. Ears on each side of the head, duh. When we record we do the same. Maybe there are groups the performers occupy different locations ... | |
| Raven Blackhawk LE... am I going to be disappointed? 88dB is pretty low. 92 is my cutoff for consideration, and you are well below that. Still, what really matters is you prefer quality over quantity. The Ravens 20 tube watts is comparable to 50 to 100 solid state pseudo-watts, and you already know ... |
