| Tube amps and speaker ohms Hi Divad. I tried to post before, but I cannot see the post so here goes again. First off, I am a very pro tube guy, but I would advise you very strongly against going tubes with your speakers. Your speakers are not suited for a tube amplifier.You... | |
| Tube amps and speaker ohms Ok, here goes.+++ Paul then you have a SET amp correct? +++Currently I have only one SET, and that is a 6C33 based one. +++ Would that be similiar to the 300 tube? +++No, a tube has little to do with whether an amp is single ended or push pull. Th... | |
| Tube amps and speaker ohms +++ I googled impedance. Its a load issue +++ If you googled it then it must be true? OkayHave a look at Decware speakers theyre all designed to work with 2wpc plus tube amps. Most of them are rated 4 ohms nominal. http://www.decware.com/newsit... | |
| Tube amps and speaker ohms Bartokfan I think you are confusing impedance with sensitivity. Nevertheless, both are factors that influence how well (or not well) your amp will do.Rule of thumb is to have a speaker with simple cross over design (or better, no cross over), beni... | |
| Tube amps and speaker ohms +++ Pauly "4 ohms should not be any problem for a tube amp". But in my experience tube amps do not like 4 ohms, especially when the music gets complex, as in orch, even large jazz ensemble is rather thin sounding. +++All things equal I'd go for a ... | |
| Tube amps and speaker ohms Bartokfan, you seem to be asking the same, albeit worded differently, question over and over. If you are doing so because you are cautious, then it is a good thing. If you do so because you dont like the responses you have been getting, it a bad ... | |
| Polystyrene diffusers Hi Acoustat6I use R19 rolls in the corners of my room for low frequency absorption. They work great, the bass is very tight and clean. I know need to get rid of a couple of high(ish) frequency hot spots, hence wanting to use diffusers. ThanksPaul | |
| Polystyrene diffusers Snofun3, which diffusors have you used? I am leaning towards Aualex Metrofusors. Are the Q fusors worth the extra $$?ThanksPaul | |
| Capacitors for BAT VK-60 Damaradona, it is best to keep to .22uF. I recently had correspondence with Chris Venhaus regarding use of his TFTFs in my phono, and he recommended I use the smallest value possible as coupling capacitors, as the smaller capacitors sound slightly... | |
| Has anyone upgraded their preamp with V-caps? Sherod, I have not heard Sonicaps. A couple of folks have recommended I try them. | |
| selling vinyl and feeling? Johnnyb53, UrAnusCommittee fools the nurse that brings him his medication each night into thinking he is taking it, so how do you expect fool him into thinking vinyl is good?Come on, he is not just any committee, he is uranuscommittee.RegardsPaul | |
| Capacitors for BAT VK-60 Damarado, I just saw a post where you mention you want to use a Dynamicaps and bypass it with another. My experience is that Dynamicaps sound best on their own, not bypassed. You could try bypassing a big(ish) Dynamicap, lets say 2uF with another ... | |
| selling vinyl and feeling? I sold off (more aptly, sold out) my LPs and went digital some time ago. A couple of engineering buddies convinced me that digital was better. I should have had the presence of mind to listen to their Hifis before taking their advice.I regret sell... | |
| Capacitors for BAT VK-60 Vet93, Dynamicaps are as their name suggests, very dynamic. I would describe the sound as crystalline clear and sparkly. The sound seems to leap from the speaker. They also seemed to cure my system of sibilance, yet increase detail many many fold.... | |
| selling vinyl and feeling? Johnnyb53, you cannot argue with Uranuscommittee. He is the authoritative expert on all things digital, analogue, transistor, vacuum tube and transformer. He knows it all.With his 20 y/o CD player and transformer fed Stax earphones, he hears the v... |
