| Low watt tube amps/pros/cons Usually an amp which can take a KT88 can take a 6550 - however its always best to check with the manufacturer. This might not apply to substituting KT88's into a curcuit designed for a KT90 however (as I recently descovered the hard way!) | |
| Low watt tube amps/pros/cons Beemerrider, Not everything is equal. You cannot make such a broad assumption. I think one of the reasons that folks like KT88's is that they serve up a warmer frequency response than other pentodes and are a better match for a lot of components w... | |
| Low watt tube amps/pros/cons I don't know about you guys's but BF's mere existence as well as the state of his knowledge makes me feel good about myself, both personally and as an expert in things audio. Be thankful for small things! :-) | |
| Review on the Tyler Acoustics Lynbrook Signature's Carlos, FWIW, my room is 19.5x13.5x9 (close to your's in size). I have the speakers on the short wall 6'(measured from the front of the speaker) from the wall and each speaker (measured from the tweeter) is 2 feet from the side walls. On the left ... | |
| Low watt tube amps/pros/cons "I heard the new Audio Research KT88....."The reason you didn't hear 'great highs nor deep bottom end' was most probably because the units don't have tone controls which you can set to their maximum levels as you have told us is you preferred way ... | |
| IMAGE PROBLEMS VOCALS OFF CENTER Yeh, check your tubes. A weak tube on the right side of your amp or pre-amp (whatever) could cause your problem. I just had a comedy of sorts. I found my sound stage compressed as hell. I blamed the CD quality, etc and was dumbfounded by the chang... | |
| Which cable is most important to spend money on... Ye ole chicken v egg question, oh well, what the hell..In order to answer your question I'm going to make two assumptions, just because you ask the question in the first place. 1) You are relatively new to audio and have yet to develope audio list... | |
| Review on the Tyler Acoustics Lynbrook Signature's Carlos, I just looked at your photos. Do you have any flexibility regarding speaker placement etc. I suspect you could enhance the sound of your Tylers substantialy if you do. Post here, or send me an email if you are interested at all in my exper... | |
| Amazing Solo Piano Recordings Gammajo, Playing on my system as I type - Rachmaninov's Preludes by Rustem Hayroudinoff on Chandos. Not a Bosendorffer Imperial I think but this is one of the best recorded and well played disc's I have if I'm up for Rach's complete preludes. Rich... | |
| Amazing Solo Piano Recordings Gammajo, Two performers come immediately to mind Garrich Ohlsson's complete Chopin series on Arabesque - mind you this is some fairly aggressive Chopin, not the warm laid back variety, but quite satisfying non-the-less, and Carol Rosenberger who p... | |
| Review on the Tyler Acoustics Lynbrook Signature's Glad you like your new Tylers. I also have them and have grown quite fond of them as well. Love'm with tubes! FWIW, for those who may be considering the Tylers, I would point out that my break in experience with them was somewhat different that yo... | |
| When showing your system to others, what do you do Tvad, I think what Mr T is saying is that if his guest found his system dull becuase of rolled off highs, for example, he wouldn't be offended if his guest asked for something a bit more lively and 'bright'. Just a guess......... | |
| Cayin A - 88 T , sounds great but ... Saki70, So far as I know the Two will not take EL84's. Re comparisons between the Five and Two, the units are very similar in design with a few differences, one being the absence of negative feed back in the Five and I have been told that sonicall... | |
| Cayin A - 88 T , sounds great but ... Saki70, A couple of comments regarding small tube amps, especially the Primaluna models of which I have the One and the Three/Five combo. Low volume dynamic's are far more likely to depend on your speakers that it is your amp when you're dealing w... | |
| Best placement for Silverline Sonata Mk111 I assume you're not happy with the sound, but you don't comment on why you asking for help, specifically what kind of advise you are seeking. That said, you might try placing your speakers closer to the side walls so the drivers are about 10 1/2 f... |
