| Cayin A70T has bogus tube rectification? With all due respect to Ttbolad and Captkhz, before we all jump on this band wagon, consider that this consumer alert came to A-Gon via the first post of an unknown person. We've made a lot of charitible assumtions about new posters in the past th... | |
| Adding a second sub Bob, Thirsty93 is lucky to have someone available with your knowledge of the operation of his reveiver. I'm amazed about the operation of the LFE output. I've never had a complex receiver and this is all new to me. You can actually electronically ... | |
| Adding a second sub I just tried to pull up the nhthifi link. No luck, but I did visit their current site. Again, no luck, re the products you mentioned, but they did have some sub systems which give me a fair idea of what they have.You apparently want to have a left... | |
| Jadis JA30 - Quad ESL63 .. 4,8 or 16ohms? Microstript, Thanks for the info. I was recalling some comments made by Stereophile's Gillet maybe 15 years ago, apparently inaccurately. Maybe this explains some of my dissatisfaction with the Quads which have been in my attic for about 10 years.... | |
| Jadis JA30 - Quad ESL63 .. 4,8 or 16ohms? As I recall the '63' has an impedence droop to 3.5 ohms in the bass. If so using a 16 ohm tap sould seem counterintuitive. I used a 4ohm taps with mine, but I never used a 16 ohm tap so I can't comment on any real differences. | |
| hum from my preamp Sounds like you have something in the pre-amp that is vibrating and this vibration becomes amplified by the shelf when you sit it down on the shelf. Next time you place it down put your hands on the shelf and see if you can feel anything, either o... | |
| do you need to elevate interconnects? FWIW I've used 25 and 15 ft runs of IC's on hardwood floors, at base boards on the room boarders and on/under carpets. In the air and on the floor surfaces. I've never detected any reason to prefer using lifts for IC's. But, everything else being ... | |
| Adding a second sub "......whoring up mine". Just goes to show than no good deed goes unpunished. Did I actually answer your question for you? Did anything good come out of my post at all? And, if my post actually answered your question what is your point?BTW, FWIW, ... | |
| Adding a second sub Dwhitt, Consider that your post gave unasked for advise that had nothing to do with the question, denegraded the posters equipment, AND was not responsive in any manner. Try to be helpful next time out, not just an audio oracle.You could have said... | |
| Proper Toe-in Configuration Larryi covers this quite well. I would only add that Speaker designers assume you can/will set up their speakers in situations that complement their design. For example, one famous maker recommends facing the speakers straight ahead (they had a ve... | |
| Breaking In New Speakers... Use'em. Just don't expect much for the first couple of weeks. Don't sit in the listening chair expecting to hear something wonderful right away. Unless you are dealing with a deadline regarding a return option, just relax. The biggest change will ... | |
| tube rush detection help When you say 'all the tubes', do you mean the power tubes as well. It is easy (relatively) to find a bad tube out of an octet, especially if you started out with a matched set so you don't have to fiddle with bias. You just switch half and if ther... | |
| First Trip outside of Best Buy, a real newbie. I wouldn't presume to tell you what to buy, but FWIW the speakers you heard and described will sound nothing like they did at in the dealers showroom when you get them home. NOTHING! If you have high-quality experience expectations from your purch... | |
| tube rush detection help Sounds more like a noise which would be emitted by a small tube, not a power tube. Just to find out switch the small tubes from amp to amp and see if the hiss follows the change. I haven't typically (if ever) heard or been able to assign just hiss... | |
| how to use gain control on a preamp FWIW, I set the gain so that the volume control's setting is about 12 0'clock. The actual gain setting involved needed depends on the output of the cartridge (or other sources), the input sensitivity of your amp and the efficiency of your speakers... |
