| Best HOME system you've ever heard I don't know about "Best" home system but I can relate the challenges I've overcome which enabled me to get excellent sound in a difficult room. I have a 13x19x9 room with wood floors frame construction. It has a 6x7 opening at the rear into anoth... | |
| How U determine first and second reflection points Don't overlook 1st reflection points on the floor and ceiling! Depending on the type of surfaces and their shape they can be just as important as the side walls, albeit the ceiling reflections can be tough to deal with. If you treat the 1st reflec... | |
| Should this forum have a warning label? Jeff, The gullible and the lazy are always at risk of being skinned. No disclaimer is ever going to be effective. These folks never read the fine print. Ever notice that folks put X's or tabs on legal documents so you can just sign them without re... | |
| Cartridge Setup. Sure you can. When selecting a cartridge for it make sure you match the cartridge compliance with the effective mass of the tone arm. Also check out (from other users) whether or not the magnetic field from the motor is sufficiently shielded to av... | |
| tubes and stats, what to look for? You apparently don't need a lot of power, but you do need a lot of current for the 2ohm load presented by these speakers. Do you know where in the frequency band this minimum load appears? With an impedence swing as great as you describe, from jus... | |
| tubes and stats, what to look for? What does the impedence curve of the Innersound look like? And its sensitivity? | |
| Tube Replacement: Single, Pair, or Quad? Nsgarch, Do I recall correctly that the 'old Svetlana tubes, now also referred to as SED's, Winged C's, and even before that I think they had a big 'S' logo on the bottle, were made in St Petersburg? I've always been a bit confused over the sale o... | |
| Tyler Linbrook System for butt kicking? Mrvegas, I have the Linbrook Signature Systems (1 Piece). I think you have gotten excellent advise. Go for it!Regarding amplification, these are VERY revealing speakers. They do not have any of the upper-midrange/high end emphasis problems associa... | |
| Tube Replacement: Single, Pair, or Quad? Nsgarch, "Premium Svetlanas". As opposed to SED's, Flying 'C', or the just plain old Svetlana? Just trying to distinguish them from the new Svetlana which I understand is just a Sovtek in disguise. Just so the folks won't get confused. I highly in... | |
| Tube Replacement: Single, Pair, or Quad? I'm not familar with the operating aspects of the Cary M100, however if it allows for individual biasing of each tube then you can replace one tube at a time, they don't have to be match BUT 150ma per tube would be way off the mark. Depending on p... | |
| New Prima Luna Amp In Distress / Me Too Vm8444, I've already mentioned the tubes I prefer in the One...nuff said. However, if you do some checking I think you will discover that the SED EL34's are a Mullard copy and the EI's are a Tele copy. These are inexpensive new production tubes an... | |
| Best outdoor antenna??? Yagi's should be used with a rotor, however they are not as effective at reducing signals from the rear as they are from the side, therefor if your two favorite stations are 180 degrees apart you can point it at the furthest one and you may get a ... | |
| powering up pre-amp You can also activate the mute switch on the pre-amp before powering down. That should prevent any transients from reaching the amp should you still be connected to it and its a good habit anyway. | |
| tube character with pre-amp FWIW, as I recall the SFL 1 you can use either 6922 or 12AX7a's ( I think you must make a minor adjustment in the preamp). If that is correct you have a lot of options depending on what tone you want. Best to listen to what you have carfully, then... | |
| Slight buzz on Quad ESL-63.. My quads sort of rattled when you over drove them with highly percussive bass notes, and on high frequencies I got a low level buzz from piano notes in a narrow frequency band. Don't know if its the same cause of both problems, but a Quad garu tol... |
