| Tube rolling with Quicksilver Mono 60s -- from KT77 to KT88? KT 120? etc. Spot on I think after clearing up some things in my head. You seem to have it well in hand.. Sometimes you,re just right.. LOLIf BASS wasn’t mentioned, I would say, stay right where you're at..BUT YOU DID.... Bigger :-) I love EL34 valves when the... | |
| DYNACO Pre-Amp PAT-4...with an added Volume knob So you have 2 volume pots, and NO headphone jack, or is there still a headphone jack there, inside or moved?Second: what is the volume pot hooked to? I'm thinking someone used it for a trim pot, on a line source input, like a Reel to Reel. Is it ... | |
| Do tubes require burn in? Yup 20-50 they BREAK IN.. LOL. Pulls that are rolls (but broke in) give it a good listen 2 - 4 hours a couple of times before you say "this isn't working". I seen a LOT of valves pulled WAY before they should have been..They have to build a litt... | |
| Sparko Labs Discrete Op-Amps... Just remember, the issue with these op amps is the power it needs to run WITHOUT failure.. You really need a good VR. Sparco has the BEST made for his discrete units.. I went through that with Nord. Rev A or B boards were replaced with B or C boar... | |
| Tube rolling with Quicksilver Mono 60s -- from KT77 to KT88? KT 120? etc. WOW serious valves there. It may be GL time if those can't take the nasties out.. The JJ you have in the Powerposition were broke in?If they were. You had the good signal valves when you had the JJ in?Look into that 12BH7, Even an EH, or GL swap ... | |
| Tube rolling with Quicksilver Mono 60s -- from KT77 to KT88? KT 120? etc. The small valves.. Roll a couple sets.. Go to someone with a good rep. for your valves IF you don’t check you own.. The guys will chime in..I have my own gear to check valves... I’m not one to trust to many, it is always trust and VERIFY!!12AX712B... | |
| Tube rolling with Quicksilver Mono 60s -- from KT77 to KT88? KT 120? etc. Tighter Bass?. That’s not going to be an EL34. The KT88 is one of the best BASS valves. They are known for just that. I think the brand you were using and the signal valves, are the least expensive, and the better combos. KT88s in Solvex, GL (expe... | |
| Reel to Reel information, user tips and tricks... I've used Vishay a long time. They have a cap that I use in XO builds when I do one. They are rated at 160 or 200 v. Low but one of the best sounding for mids and highs I've used for the money..The resistors, are a given, they are the best, the i... | |

| Cooking up subwoofer I use modified Rythmik plate amps. Gain and Xover. Set the XO at 100 hz or so (should be less 60-80) and the gain to 12:00 or so.. READ the manuel, and fine tune it..Placement, for your listening position, is key, not everywhere else.One servo uni... | |
| defective pre-amp New Mcintosh, broken out of the box. VERY rare.Regards | |
| Control volume with DAC or Preamp? Listen, is best advise. But full throttle on anything, may not be the best Idea.. My server and SACD, both have volume control. I set the volume at 60-80%. I get pretty good SQ there and a little pre and source headroom.Just for the heck of it, d... |
