| 6DJ8 vs. 6922? @bdp24 Yes, they are equivalent can be substituted. If possible, try finding 7308 which is even better depending on sound quality your after. Some of the best NOS tubes include Amperex and Siemens brands. You can find a detail analysis about types... | |
| Center Channel Dialogue @hillbilly559 I agree with @ghdprentice here. There is something very wrong here. You don't have to do any of these extra stuff to balance left, center, and right speakers. Marantz should have three options for the center channel: phantom, norma... | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? @grislybutter There are rules and then there are some. Some prefer brand names and some prefer particular designs (ported versus non, first order crossovers versus other, two-way versus three way, floor standing versus monitors, high efficient ver... | |
| Help with Dunlavy SC-IV signature @petg60 I agree with you about running these with a good SS amp due to impedance dropping to around 3 Ohms. All of my auditions with these speakers were done with SS amps. I think "problem" is with the speaker, not his electronics up stream. I ha... | |
| Help with Dunlavy SC-IV signature @cerberus79 This is hard to believe, but I trust you have done your home work. Dunlavy speakers are anything but bright. May I ask you what kind of source material you used to find out these speakers sounded "bright"? Also, these are very efficien... | |
| Vintage turntable with a modern phono stage, is it worth it? @avgonzalez77 I would recommend a tube phono stage. I have gotten excellent play back on my Thoren TT with Audio Research PH3 and PH5, both are tube phono preamps. Yes, you will see a noticeable improvements. You can also swap stock tubes with NO... | |
| Questions about Resolving Systems Forgiving or Resolving? I tend to agree with the analysis given in the PS Audio website on this topic. Opposite of resolving is forgiving. If your system lean towards forgiving, then everything sounds good, but nothing sounds great. If your syste... | |
| need amp recommendations for more separation of instruments @ahuvia My suggestion is to use a separate power amp while keeping NAD as a preamp. You can take the signal from pre-out on the back of the NAD and connect it to a separate power amp to see if you can get what you are looking for. In my system, th... | |
| Pure Class-A Amp under $2000 (USED) @darkknight8586 I believe Krell KSA 150 and 250 operate in Class A and deliver plenty of power. There are some other Krell models such as sustained plateau biased models also operate in pure Class A. There is one KSA 150 available for $2,500 if yo... | |
| Too much power? @dain your speakers are 86dB with nominal impedance 4 ohms. I haven't seen the impedance curve, but it may drop below 4 ohms at certain frequencies. This is a quasi-ribbon speaker and usually a demanding load for the amplifier. Your amp may not be... | |
| Looking for some listener experience with the Cary SLP-30. Just bought one… @perkri I have Cary Audio SLP 03. I got very good results with NOS Mullard CV4003 box plate, Amperex Bugleboy 12AU7 Holland and Amperex 12AU7 Holland (no bugleboy logo, later production). Some of these tubes can be very pricey. In your case you ... | |
| Crackling in right channel, what do I do? Help, please. @larrykell I didn't see those specs, but I will take your word for it. Are these all power rating Class A? I read the brochure and it only gave 160 W rating at 8 ohms. | |
| Crackling in right channel, what do I do? Help, please. @larrykell I am happy to hear you found the problem with amp. I had this happened twice with my Mark Levinson 23.5. First time, it was a capacitor gone bad. So I sent the unit to George Meyers AV and they completely replaced all electrolyte capa... | |
| Crackling in right channel, what do I do? Help, please. @larrykell 1. Swap left and right speaker wires at the output of the amplifier. Please switch off the power amp when you do this otherwise you may damage your speaker. If the problem also moves from right to left speaker, then you can rule out ... | |
| You want a DAC that sounds *different.* What factor helps you find it? Lets start with what we have and then we can discuss how we are going to use it."CD quality” audio resolution uses a 16 bit word for each sample. The sample rate is 44.1 kHz. This is often described as simply “16/44.1k.” This translates into an an... |
