| Switch to silver for a treble boost? Knownothing,Ahhhhhhhhh, Great minds! ;-) | |
| Switch to silver for a treble boost? I didn't read all the posts so I don't know if this was mentioned already. If the 602's have dual binding posts, try getting rid of the brass jumpers. Make your own with a couple of short copper pieces. Second, run your cables into the tweeter bin... | |
| Class D and High Efficiency Speakers? I use the Tripath based Red Wine Audio 30.2 on my Cain Abbys, 95 db. I'm a 300b lover and have several SET amps. In the summer it's tough to keep things cool with all the tubes and this has been great. It has more of the cushioned sound I hear in ... | |
| Magnepans and cats, do they mix? I think they will see them as giant scratching posts. Other than SPCA/PETA approved ways, maybe you can make some covers for them.It's been said that Cat Stevens used Maggies for mastering a couple of his albums. Maybe there is some mystical conne... | |
| tube burnout Atmasphere, Thanks. | |
| tube burnout Atmasphere,Do you feel the 6dj8 family is equally bad for phono and line stage preamps or not so good for line stage and worse for phono? | |
| CBS News does a segment on LPs More good vinyl news. LA Times had an article on the LP comeback in Mondays Calendar section. I'm spinning Dave Grusin now. | |
| Older PURE CLASS-A Amplifiers Here's to keeping the thread alive. Good for the search engine and anyone looking for good old class A amps.The smaller Bedini's like the 45/45 and 25/25 are underated. I have a 45 that puts out sweet music to my Maggie 3.6's.Jimmyblues, my 45/45 ... | |
| tube burnout Like the others have said, you may have a lemon.What is the voltage coming out of the wall? If the manufacturer runs these near the edge and you have much over 120, that could be speeding things up. | |
| what do you do now? 1. Take your hand off the panic button.2. Keep the Etude.3. Enjoy it next spring. | |
| Best sounding Krell ? Like Mgattmch, I would vote for the Krell KSA 250 as not only one of the best Krells, but one of the best ss amps.I'm sure a stock one would have to be tuned up after all these years. | |
| Do I need a balanced preamp? While it is nice to have a balanced signal all the way from source to speaker, and you will lose that aspect with the Chenin, it may turn out to be "one step back and two steps forward." if the Supratek is that much better than the Simaudio. Hopef... | |
| 300B SET Tube Amp recommendations anyone?? Curiosity is getting the better of me and no criticism is meant BUT why would a thread be responded to 2 1/2 years after it died? I could see it if the original poster was giving an update, but 2 1/2 years?! | |
| Siemens CCa vs. Amperex 6922 D getter I heard the Amperex's in the Dodd and thought they were great. I use them and Siemens in my Art Audio Alana pre.Have you tried switching left and right? With the Dodd only using half the triode in each tube, you might notice a difference if one of... | |
| silver with tubes and copper with solid state ?? I used to prefer copper over silver and my least favorite of all was silver plated copper. That's changed.What I have learned is that if the insulation on the silver is "pure" teflon, then silver is the best I have heard for tube or ss. Some manuf... |
