| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Wow! That has to be the lowest capacitance if any cable - no? But like George says, I feel safe with the 12pf/ft:) | |
| "Light Loading" Amps - Music Refence and others... There seem to be an awful lot of folks running RM9s for many years for them to be too unreliable. Now Roger did come to think of tubes on boards as being problematic over time so he went to point-to-point wiring on his RM9SE and the RM10s and 200s... | |
| New production EL84/6BQ5 tubes? Bump... | |
| "Light Loading" Amps - Music Refence and others... Hi Al. To tell you the truth, I find they sound very, very similar both ways, but was predisposed to prefer the "light load" for the "benefits" in measured performance(but for power)and longer tube life that Roger mentions in his comments. I had n... | |
| "Light Loading" Amps - Music Refence and others... Just to add to the conversation, Ralph added this comment in the Vandersteen thread I alluded to:03-03-11: AtmaspherePubul57, the act of increasing the bias on the tubes has the effect of reducing their output impedance. This will change the relat... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Cardas GR, 12pf/ft. Lstack, sure that's not per foot? | |
| Merlin TSM with Shindo 25 watt amp Lowens? Nuff said? | |
| "Light Loading" Amps - Music Refence and others... I suspect you are right, because I have to believe Ralph very well knows what his talking about. It was interesting to read years back on Audio Asylum how many folks simply did not believe Roger's specs for the amp - of course he did do what other... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Perfect enough. | |
| "Light Loading" Amps - Music Refence and others... Yes, Roger does mention: "It also reduces noise, raises damping factor, reduces distortion by 78% and allows for 80% more peak current when needed. The only loss is about 20% of the power rating or 1dB." In my case my speakers Are nomnal 8 ohms an... | |
| How many tube watts for Vandersteen 2's? A small book - not Websters Unabridged. | |
| How many tube watts for Vandersteen 2's? Not bad for an amp the size of a book - is it? :) | |
| How many tube watts for Vandersteen 2's? This proabably should be a new thread since it is ain interesting topics, and was interested in what Ralph had to say. Not that OP has gotten his answer, but not sure others would find this topic buried in a Vandersteen discussion. | |
| How many tube watts for Vandersteen 2's? I prefer the light loading too, but I do wonder why Ecclectique has had a consistent preference with using the 8 ohm tap. That of course can be explained depending on the speaker, but he did say he tried it with Merlin, I'm using the VSMs. | |
| Tube Research Labs Dude vs. Shindo Labs preamps Beyond sound, take a look at the quality of the internal layout and construction of the Shindo gear - it inspires a lot of confidence. |
