| Breaking-in a Pass Amp "After only 36 hours they are already beginning to warm up, open up and relax a bit and sounding considerably better than out of the box"I think you can expect more of the same to come. That was my experience with my XA.5's. | |
| Radio Paradise -- Good Stuff Thanks. I put it on a little while ago, loving it so far. | |
| Cable Settling??? Rok2idLord, I'm ready!I'm still laughing. | |
| Just Turned 50... 50 is the new 30.Re hearing: As good as ever. Why just the other day my wife saw me hooking up a new amp and she asked me what kind is it? I said 4:30. | |
| MOSFET's vs Bipolar's I think the heart of the answer is in your second question, the circuit design.I'm a big fan of Nelson Pass's designs and he uses Mosfets but I have a Bedini 45/45 amp that uses bipolars and it's very sweet also. | |
| Do not buy any Sonus Faber used So what have we learned so far? It's Sumikos right to make a policy. It's anyones right to have an opinion of their policy, there's the right to have an opinion of peoples opinions, ad nauseam.The way I read it is: Sumiko will take care of not onl... | |
| Why CD players will never be dead Vhiner, LOL. Thanks back at ya. | |
| How to "break-in" new speakers?? I've always imagined the "cones and domes" being similar to a new baseball glove: Works right away, better after time. Drivers move back and forth from as little as 20 times a second to over 20,000 tas. The more flexible the surrounds are the true... | |
| Antenna for Marantz 10B Congrats on your 10b. Crooner gives excellent advice on these vintage pieces. He's helped me with my 10b's and 8b, so pay special attention to his posts.What does your scope look like in the tuning mode? How high is the horizontal line? It's a gre... | |
| Bad Tube? Which one? I'll 3rd what Tom6897 and Rrog said.A spare set will come in handy when:1. Things go bump in the night. I just had a tube rectifier develop a short. Replaced the fuse and rectifier and was good to go.2. Diagnosing. My 2a3 amp was sounding a little... | |
| Why CD players will never be dead Vhiner,More? They made a movie about Floppy. It didn't win any awards. It was up against some pretty stiff competition.Agree with your last paragraph. I think you and I are more right brained orientated. The left brainers can argue ad nauseam over... | |
| how much power Magfan, I'm with you, just didn't want to get into all the advantages of Magnepans and answer the OP's question as to why "he" "may" need more than 50 watts. If I listened to the Left Brain crowd, I would have never tried a Cary 805 (50/70 watt SE... | |
| What component is responsible for dynamics ? "what one component will offer the most beneficial change ?" I'd say the speaker.From my empirical knowledge:Doing the math, I used to think that a 10 watt amp mated with 100 db speakers would produce the same dynamics as a 100 watt amp with 90 db... | |
| how much power I think one of the biggest misconceptions about power (especially when someone is just starting out in this hobby) is that going from 50 watts to 100 watts, while being twice the power will be twice the volume. NOT TRUE. The truth is, to achieve t... | |
| Why CD players will never be dead "Floppy Dick"...Wasn't that the sequel to Moby Dick? I think Floppy was Moby's son who went on to create a Viagra like substance that helped Moby in his older years, or something like that.Chadeffect, agree. Getting up to flip Pink Floyds DSOTM or... |
