| Looking for a smooth sounding 6922 variant I just found 6 Mullard IEC 6922;s made in Blackburn, with codes such as B5I3. From what I gather, you can't tell the year of manufacture from this code, the second digit is the year and could be 1965 or 1975, Not gold pins. Any thoughts? | |
| Looking for a smooth sounding 6922 variant Hmmm... I might be OK. Looking through my collection I'm finding those listed below. It's just that I want to get the most of the system during this test to make the decision about cabling, so I don't want to mess around.... FROM VINTAGE TUBE S... | |
| Looking for a smooth sounding 6922 variant All the great tube sellers are on vacation this week, believe it or not. A perfect storm! So I probably need an alternative source. | |
| Best single volume guide to classical music @8th-note I think you might have found just the right balance. | |
| Best single volume guide to classical music @fredapplegate Thanks for the suggestion, but not really what I'm looking for. Want a book about the composers and the compositions rather than the performers. @goethe58 Looks interesting! Perhaps one can find the same referenced pieces on Qobuz... | |
| Class D Amplifier(s) for SWARM Subwoofer System I think the drivers are damaged. I am in touch with @audiokinesis and hope to resolve promptly. | |
| Class D Amplifier(s) for SWARM Subwoofer System @atmasphere For continuity testing, you are just saying make sure that there is continuity for each of the three pin/socket pairs, correct? If not, I have a broken cable. I can test, but I would be surprised to have two broken cables (2 Dayton a... | |
| Class D Amplifier(s) for SWARM Subwoofer System @audiokinesis Thanks for clearing that up about the Daytons! I will get back when I set up the CR-1. | |
| Class D Amplifier(s) for SWARM Subwoofer System @audiokinesis Hi Duke. I’ll reach out to you offline to discuss troubleshooting on the Daytons. I should have reached out earlier to you about this concern. I am running two balanced outputs from my VAC Signature 2se preamp, one to a pair of VAC P... | |
| Class D Amplifier(s) for SWARM Subwoofer System @atmasphere HI Ralph. I am puzzled too! I agree that the volume matching SHOULD be a walk in the park. I am also using Jensen transformers to convert the balanced output from my preamp to the SE input of the Dayton amps. It is the ISO-MAX PC-2X... | |
| Crown XLS 1502.... real life test. Wondering how the XLS would work purely as a subwoofer amplifier??? | |
| Class D Amplifier(s) for SWARM Subwoofer System @atmasphere Hi Ralph. Good to hear from you. I actually do have two of those Dayton amplifiers that Duke recommends. Each amplifier runs two subwoofers in series, so the effective impedance is 4 ohms. But the output is way too low to balance my 8... | |
| Class D Amplifier(s) for SWARM Subwoofer System @bdgregory See the new information above. So what is so special about these crown amplifiers for running subwoofers? I have only heard a crown integrated amplifier, and I was not impressed. But I am guessing this is a different class. What I ... | |
| Class D Amplifier(s) for SWARM Subwoofer System I misrepresented the impedance of the subwoofers. They are each four ohms. So, running them in parallel would present a two ohm load. That will not work. Running them in series presents an eight ohm load. | |
| Amplifier for Khama Mini Exquisite @steakster with the reviewer (Rick Becker, enjoy the music) mentioned WHICH Kharma speakers he was using! I just googled him and found his equipment list... he is using Kharma Ceramique 2.2 speakers. Still worth trying the combo..... |
