| Amplifier heat...help! Let us know how it turns out! | |
| Amplifier heat...help! If you get the amp in free air, you can use whatever you prefer. Both your speakers choices require some thought. The 3/5 need a 15ohm tap on the amp...not that common. The Bonsai need a 4 ohm. Both need a decent amount of watts if you want to go ... | |
| Amplifier heat...help! Have you thought about putting in a sliding tray that could be used to pull the amp out of the cabinet when in use?Your speakers are pretty inefficient to drive so will not go very loud with low-powered amps. Octals are the larger tubes like EL34/... | |
| Amplifier heat...help! Tube amps have been in stuffed into cabinets for decades. However they tend to use small power tubes like EL84s. As long as you have thru ventilation and a small amp you should be okay. Perhaps use a small fan mounted at the back. There are server... | |

| If this sounds like YOUR Turntable story, please share your final chapter Many years ago a friend who was an opera buff and decent tenor swapped his LP12/VDH Grasshopper for the new Well Tempered TT and arm. I popped over for a listen. While he was pointing out the black backgrounds, I couldn’t help noticing that this w... | |
| Prima Luna Prologue 3 rolled some tubes and... Welcome to tubes. The difference is not subtle, is it? Combo looks good. Look at 5751 instead of 12AX7. Different theories on old tubes: simply better made with more attention to detail and tolerences (military spec), using materials that used pro... | |

| Using Tape Out from Preamp for powered sub woofer. As long as you don't mind adjusting the volume on the sub, I see no issue. Try it and see starting off at the lowestvsetting on both pre and sub. | |
| Using Tape Out from Preamp for powered sub woofer. Couldn't the OP use tape out and control the volume from the sub as he/she wants different levels depending on volume? | |
| The right footing for a turntable I'd be tempted to sit the TT on a stack of blocks with a paving slab on top. Those audio cabinets are full of hinges and chipboard! | |
| Electret transducer cartridges vs MM and MC. What are your experiences? OK. Thanks all. The electret is a type of capacitor where a diaphram changes the capacitance in sympathy to vibrations, in this case the stylus. The strain gauge us a piezo-effect device. | |
| Electret transducer cartridges vs MM and MC. What are your experiences? Dave, no not those -it's called the Strain Gauge. I think it may be the same idea but possibly better executed. I heard it on a VPI deck at SS room in NYC. Very good but I am not convinced fully on the price per sound quality scale. | |
| Electret transducer cartridges vs MM and MC. What are your experiences? Are these MA cartridges the same as the realavily new Soundsmith devices? | |
| Wharfdale's Denton Anniverary spker Any 3 way speaker of similar sound quality?? . Apologies if the link is borked. A pair of Spendor SP2 for around $500. 2 way but very nice. I have a pair of SP2/2 which are better and worth seeking out in the $600-$800 range. |
