Blowing Fuses. Dennis Had Inspire 300B SET
Here’s Dennis: INSPIRE 300B AMPLIFIER I have not written up a formal manual for the new Inspire 330B amplifiers. Please read the following information below: Make sure you insert the WE 300B tubes with the Western Electric logos facing forward....

My lack of knowledge. I plugged a Cary Bias Meter into the jack hole on top. It measures plate, not bias. My bad… bias meter went arrow to the right… yet the amp continued to run for weeks thereafter.

To Dennis I gave my apologies. I blew up the electrolytic capacitor. I inserted a Cary Bias meter into the jack inlet on board the amp, purely no knowledge on the consequences of THAT action!    Dennis took it back, and repaired it, scratching hi...

Fed Ex has it now, (I think).   Shipping with them is 3rd World it seems, at times.  it didn’t blow fuses with NO Tubes, turned on… with tubes, only the rectifier got warm, as it blew a fuse.    Dennis awaits the shipment. Thanks for your inter...

After getting the rectifier tube, the problem still remains as a blown fuse continues and the replacement of the blown fuses continue. The only tube that was able to get warm was the rectifier tube and my Western Electric 300 bees showed signs of ...

Plugged in. Turned on without tubes. Fuse is stable. Waiting on tubes now.

  I am happy to report that Dennis Had got back to me and told me after asking what type of rectifier tubes I had, to buy from Tube Depot, and to purchase a JAN Phillips Military rectifier…. also that I needed a slow blow 2 amp fuse, and if this d...

I am not sure about the 2amp fuses? Is it right to have a SLOW BLOW fuse as the main fuse? It looks like that is what was present since I bought it used?  
Blowing Fuses. Dennis Had Inspire 300B SET
Yes. Thanks. I did, and it toasted another one, stopping the others I guess from warming up. It is self-biasing amp.    to be honest, I have two tube amps, and it’s the first time I’ve ever been listening in the middle of a session and for the fi... 
How easily can you distinguish between different DACs?
I have found that DAC useage is just another overkill like cables and wires. It’s about quenching your listener satisfaction and it’s about self-control. Can you be satisfied? And… save your money.

Nakamichi CA-7A Preamp
@uncleang  im impressed! You know your stuff!    if I hadn’t given (4) banana boxes of vinyl to the thrift store, I’d buy a turntable just to hear that phono transformer.    for right now, I rarely listen outside of streaming and Bluetooth thro... 
Nakamichi CA-7A Preamp
@uncleang  yesssss! I was happy to get the CA-7A pre. I bought it off of a fellow in Texas who knew his stuff and back-and-forth messaging on eBay. I knew it was the real deal because he knew all about the inner portion of this amplifier. I also ...

speakers for small room
Small rooms do not mean small speakers. I really enjoy my 7 foot triangle of Klipsch, Cornwall and a small SVS micro 3000 subwoofer. You save money because you can buy yourself a nice little wattage tube amplifier and get the job done with dynamic...
