| Warm-up time for amps and preamps Tube should be designed with an "idle circuit" - if not, I'd wonder about the designer.While heat can be a killer of electronic components, the real killer is voltage spikes. They can happen from turn on.Electrolytics from about 20 years ago or s... | |
| Magnepans cables and their distortion are totally up to you to pick - I suggest very short runs of lamp cord using monoblocks - then blind test some spendy cables (which will produce a reactive load and sound different, maybe not better) - tone controls and... | |
| Tubeyist sounding Pre-amp? Thx - I see there was one on here but it sod.My guess is that there is no magic, but a certain circuit topology and some MOSFETs involved.... | |
| Warm-up time for amps and preamps "allowing the processed signal from you cartridge (or other source) to complete transmission thru your speakers, where the signal is processed thru the tube grids opposed to the tubes in an idle state, speaker motors in a working state warming up ... | |
| Acurus A150 v. Bryston 4b I know that Wendell has hauled the newer Brystons around to shows...curious what you really want | |
| Magnepans I'm curious as to what the least expensive amp to drive 3.7i would be... | |
| Tubeyist sounding Pre-amp? no, the Sunfire sounds very niceI have 2 channels and bi-amp the Maggies | |
| Just wondering... maybe "nobody" does blind listening tests, because "nobody" doesn't understand scienceI know quite a few consumers who do them and many manf.s who do | |
| Just wondering... if you aren't doing blind listening tests you are the rightful prey of the snake oil salesmen | |
| Should this forum have a warning label? How about a big yellow diamond -shaped highway sign reading: WARNING!WOO-WOO AHEAD | |
| Just wondering... At least some people who design DACs say "No!!" - at least for a modern DAC vs. CD playerwhich CD player do you have?But listen for yourself: buy from a place that allows returns and do a blind listening testI could not tell much difference betwee... | |
| Jazz for aficionados yes, that was jokeI do recommend the tune "I thought I heard Buddy Bolden Say" | |
| Magnepans while the the 3.7 is a physically larger speaker than a 1.7, Maggie themselves will tell you it is acoustically smallerso will sound better in a smaller room3x more spendy tho | |
| HiFi on mobile device is this in a car or with an ipod while walking or...? | |
| Tubeyist sounding Pre-amp? we'll see on the repair - after 2 months they have not even looked at it so I should have sent it to Canada instead...I really like the knobs on the older ARC products... |
