@, it does not matters if OTL design ( problem is not only the transformers and only one additional to everything. ) and when I talk about tubes I'm speaking too of phonolinepreamp that at the end is more near the thread subject than amps. Btw, yo...

Dear @folkfreak : """ which is short of the 2.6V rated for maxiumum output for your X350.5. """the OP speakers are rated as 4ohms and 90db sensitivty. That apm at that impedance puts 700 watts full power. Do you know when the OP will need the full...

Dear @fsmithjack : AAny re-tipper can rebuild but a cartridge of the caliber as the A90 it’s not a cartridge to " rebuild " by any re-tipper.First than all, that cartridge has at least another 400 hundreds hours ( maybe more. ) that are a lot of h...

Dear @folkfreak : Please tell your MM designer that reads this review/specs/measurements on this SS vintage Levinson phonolinepreamp and that he asks to those Levinson people how they did it to have no compromises for those 60 active dbs of gain i...

Dear @analogluvr : """  take Raul with a huge pinch of salt. Anybody who doesn't like Tubes and prefers digital has a tin ear.  He continually speaks of minimizing distortion when in fact Tubes run in their proper zone often have less distortion ...

Dear @folkfreak : I respect your opinion and good for you that own tubes, SUT and unipivot tonearm.Now, that you can’t detect the deep damage that all 3 makes to the cartridge signal do not means in anyway that I’m wrong.Maybe you can’t detect it ...
