| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM got it. | |
| Impendance taps setting on a tube amp If you have enoough power with the 4ohm tap (why you have to listen)I think there is every reason to beleive the amp will be more linear, have lower distortion, and drive the speakers more easily. This concept of "light loading" using the tap lowe... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states Doesn't the signal have to fight through all that copper wire? To me there is no doubt that tubes sound better, so maybe Bill Johnson's explanation is true, yet it does seem that a signal has a long way to go from needle or laser to drivers. | |
| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM Bobby, does the BAM need the buffering, is that why Passives just don't work right with the BAM? | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states How does this discussion apply to tubes versus SS in preamps? | |
| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM Boy, when you get them for your BAM, I have to imagine it is going to make a significantly great impact as those capaitors will proceed the entire chain execept for the source. Can't wait to hook them up. | |
| Who is using passive preamps and why? I would think a passive is very unlikely to ever need any support, no capacitors, no resistors, you should be grey before anything goes wrong. | |
| Who is using passive preamps and why? Was your Tap-X was S&B transformer or Slagle autoformer? | |
| Why hasnt yamamoto A-o11 gotten more love? I agree, but a big channel imbalance is weird. It does make you question if something wasn't right with the unit, it seems to be pretty basic, and not too challenging to get right. | |
| Who is using passive preamps and why? Has anyone tried Jeffrey Jackson's designs? I like the retro look. I imagine it has to sound awfully close to the BENT-TAP-x with autoformer. Sonic Euophoria is an autoformer as well, it I remember. | |
| Who is using passive preamps and why? Anthony, I know what you mean about the RM10MKII, why I had to come back to it. It maybe be in some ways, a greater piece of design than my RM9SEs (5x$$$). Becuase I do think Roger is a genius at this stuff, and he insists that I am crazy to use a... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states I thought Ralph's point was that the choice might be because of the differences in the way tube and SS introduce different types and levels of distortion, not power per se. I do know this about power, I seem to want as little of it as possible, as... | |
| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM Bobby, is the issue having a buffer stage, or having a tube buffer stage? | |
| Who is using passive preamps and why? Anthony, you know what Roger Modjeski thinks, and he seems to know a thing or two about this stuff. One of the reasons I question the TVC/AVC avalanche of opinion. When are you going to sell me your Lightspeeds:)? | |
| Joule Electra LA 150 MK2 upgrade Well if those are tubes you need for phono, I really like the Amperex 6dj8 A-Frames which are still relatively cheap - but will they be quiet enough. For 12axs7s I would get RAM Labs Yugo Ei's that are pre-war versions and will be VERY quiet in a ... |
