| Audio Horizon Pre Owners - Tube recommendations? I don't own an AH. I don't know what tone spectrum, if any, you are seeking. That said, of new production (cheap!) tubes, JJ 6922's are very good, but a bit on the warm side of neutral. On the cold side of neutral, and not quite as cheap you can g... | |
| Help me diagnose the problem Seems to me that it is possible that when your first tube shorted out that it burned out a resistor in the bias circuit for that tube. A very common occurence in tube amps for this to happen. Some times the tube comes up when changed but the bias ... | |
| Mc Intosh vs other brands And we should care about something an unidentified person said in an internet forum? Especially when it lacks any specificity. | |
| Is it possible to have an accurate speaker I don't know. How do you define accurate? How do others define accurate? What conditions would have to exist in order for one to know what accurate actually sounds like? Maybe 'warm' actually is accurate. Don't know. | |
| My amp has no faults I'm sure there is an amp without faults, but in order to determine which one it might be we would need a perfect speaker. You think? | |
| White Van Speakers ? I haven't see a 'whitevan' in decades. I thought they got a flat tire, mugged, and then quit the business.In what city (neighborhood?) have you seen them operating? | |
| Why no as many post about music vs equipment...... Because this is, primary, an equipment forum. Folks whose prime interest is in music look at forums elsewhere. | |
| Morrow audio Introduces new cables from 4 to 6k I don't think much. Especially about how Morrow conducts his business. "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damm!" | |
| Need a cdp Out of curiosity, did you clean the lense. Just might work if you haven't. | |
| Do I need to use filler in my speaker stands? Well, I don't know how much it will actually change the sound, I doubt much if any really, but it will add ballast and help stabilize your speakers and keep them from easily tipping over. I would do it myself for that if no other reason. I would a... | |
| is there a way to tighten pins in tube sockets? Yes. If you look at the sockets you'll see copper wires in socket grooves, bent over towards the outside of the socket. You can insert something behind this wire, between it and the socket wall, and bend it forward. It won't take much, just a tad.... | |
| Why we should support music... Maybe it's too obvious but, Support Home Audio! Thats what is dying, at least as we know it it is. Music is in good health and will continue to be so. :-) | |
| Adding Tone Controls? Bama, If you're still around....I just noticed a thread asking about some Perreaux stuff, an Amp, Preamp and the TC (short for tone controls). I put this in my SP10 in the 80's to do just what you are trying to do. Its really transparent and will ... | |
| Best reasonably priced classic hi-end tuner Accuphase T100 is outstanding. It's AM too - it was my 8th tuner and last. Great reception and slightly warm tonal balance without getting too tube like. Excellent bass. Weighs and ton - built like a tank. Mine is over 30+ years old - the only pro... | |
| Amp hiss through speakers? Possibilities - 1) Tubes are not 'low noise tubes' and your amp requires low noise tubes; 2) Speakers are too efficient and reveal the noise floor of your amp; 3) A combo of 1 & 2, 4) Hearing a volume control when it rotates (I assume you are ... |
