| Difusers on the speakers? OP, FWIW I can't imagine what/why diffusors in front of the speakers would do anything dissimilar to putting a blanket over them (assuming I'm correctly visualizing what your thinking about). Interesting thing about having wide baffles, it can i... | |
| Difusers on the speakers? Folks have been surrounding their tweeters with thick felt for ages. This can lower off axis information and help quiet a bright sounding driver. No so much on other drivers. Good DYI project for a rainy day. Cheap and easily reversible if you fin... | |
| Tube noise when gain is increased, tube issue? Finding low noise 6sl7's can be difficult and expensive but that may be the only solution to your problem. What is the sensitivity level of your speakers? If it is too high then perhaps its not so much the tubes as the interface between your amp a... | |
| Seller Listing Pet Peeve OP, +1 What I like to see is all of the connections that are no longer apparent on the front panel because of digital screens (and some times unduplicated controls on the remote control), but most importantly on common components whether or not i... | |
| Tube noise when gain is increased, tube issue? Russ69, FWIW I think OP was referring to using his attenuator to adjust gain. At least that is how I read it. | |
| Tube noise when gain is increased, tube issue? Sounds like noisy tubes. Could be a noise floor issue depending on amp/speaker/ interface especially speakers with high sensitivity. I like the former if for no other reason than it is easier to solve. | |
| How do you judge audio components and speakers? I agree, nothing better than a densely populated and very heavy component. I suspect a lot of other folks would agree as well. :-) I also agree (because I'm so agreeable!) with artemus 5 - especially when it comes to tweaks - I find I often do... | |
| Upgrading from Primaluna j-wall, FWIW, as you can tell from my previous post I pretty much agree with audphile but, FWIW when I had my speakers too close together relative to the listening position the mid-range was very muddy and did not really clear up until my set up w... | |
| Upgrading from Primaluna Re speaker width try moving you speakers about one foot each toward the side walls and then cant (toe in) the speakers until the axis of your speakers cross in front of your listening position. Obviously it helps like hell if you can deaden the fi... | |
| unison simply four no sound I've had similar experiences with other amps. Caused by a burned out resistor (in the bias circuit.) Something to check out if you're up to it. | |
| Tubes becoming hard to get? Is the timing perfect for new SS (GAN) amps or what? :-) | |
| Tubes becoming hard to get? And, when available, the costs have skyrocketed! What will happen when the Russian crisis is all over? | |
| Can a great system make a mediocre recording sound good? A ’great system’ should not be additive, sound wise, to a recording. What it does do right is not become additive. A bright/harsh CD for instance, a very common thing, can sound better on a well executed system because with a poor system you are j... | |
| Does a graphic equalizer show where your amp is lacking? Regarding the use of your Loki, in order to improve your high frequencies did you actually rotate your high frequency control or did it just sound better plugged into the circuit? If you did, how much? Your present interconnect and speaker wire c... | |
| Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers? It's not about money so much as getting quality speakers that benefit from the quality of the electronics. I think it is easier to get quality speakers that can reveal the quality of the electronics than vise-a-versa. Picking speakers gives you th... |
