| Class-A Amplification and 15 Amp Outlet A 15 amp wall outlet is sufficient for the amps you mention.. And also for the DAC and preamp. Should you wish to research for yourself, understand Ohms law as it explains the relationship between volts, amps and watts. Add up the watts drawn by ... | |
| The Growing Challenge of Buying NOS/NIB Tubes Have you tried new production such as JJ and if so what has been your experience? They are available - this link. {edited link from incorrect one} My own experience with new production has been invariably positive (mainly Tung-Sol available types... | |
| The Growing Challenge of Buying NOS/NIB Tubes Been around tubes for a while and have not heard of meal tabs, although I am not acquainted with the types you refer to. I’d just walk away, should your assessment be correct. As you say, you have Euro suppliers and they probably speak English qu... | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality I guess people that have systems 5-10 thousand total are screwed because they can’t spend the ridiculous amounts charged for ridiculous cables that people with blah blah years experience suggest. That is incorrect. They are not "screwed", if by... | |
| Paul Klipsch was right - What the world needs is a good 5 watt amplifier I really don't understand your question That's OK. In the absence of an explanation, the title of the thread and the body of it bear little resemblance. A non sequitur. There is no 5 wpc amplifier used in the test or in any subsequent discu... | |
| An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality @erik_squires Shorter version of this: Use shielded power cords. How dare you.....you...you philistine!! This is a discussion by audiophiles. None of this KISS doctrine of yours may be entertained in such polite and erudite company ;-) | |
| Paul Klipsch was right - What the world needs is a good 5 watt amplifier the point of the video is to show that the Pass with its poorly rated power (25wpc) can drive even demanding speakers to insanely loud levels without any sound degradation. Paul Klipsch was right - What the world needs is a good 5 watt amplifie... | |
| Tax Returns: Nothing, a new DAC or... ? Bearing in mind that with inflation (as has been mentioned elsewhere here recently), that dosh will buy you much less in the foreseeable future. | |
| Weekly recap gone ? Admin been too busy moderating the censorship thread. | |
| any thoughts? I don’t think it is prudent to pay 400 for a 28 year old player. Others have provided sufficient reasons for this assessment about a player of this vintage. Moving right along, $700 is a good workable number. Others on this esteemed forum have sp... | |
| Is rectifier tube arcing a problem? Check with your manufacturer exactly which type of rectifier you amp is designed for. Brands don’t matter. Maybe you have a manual? The technician said that its OK to continue using rectifiers that are arcing? Is this the wild west? Throw thos... | |
| Just a thought here but,,,,,,xlr adapters? RCA are the limiting feature. You may add XLR adaptors if you like, but nothing will change. In fact, and I’m happy to be corrected, the XLR may actually have to do extra work to deal with the single ended signal. I try to keep things simple. I ... | |
| Law of Accelerated Returns I can’t think of any valid examples of comparisons where marginal returns in audio gears is increasing. The reason is that the fundamental technology must remain constant. This is mostly an engineering issue, and usually there are more features a... | |
| Moderation/Censorship Poll and surely more... @jerryg123 Thankyou, but what I didn’t say was that I don’t make into some knife fight or appeal to the mods etc. Who cares - I don't, I am aware of these things called feelings. I have detailed files.. | |
| Moderation/Censorship Poll and surely more... I'm sad that someone once said that my gears isn't as good as I think it is. |
