| Need help understanding tube wpc D_Edwards offered:>>Yamamoto tube amplifier look at the harmonic by products which are ADDED to a simple 50hz signal, now these byproducts do not effect the voltage or WATTS, so in this case the tube 100 watts offer a great deal more sound t... | |
| Experience on B&W N800 with Tube Amplifier B&Ws like to see a high current source, tube amps are generally not. No urban legend, just basic electronics theory. You'd be better off using a much higher efficiency speaker if you're going to use tube amps. Think Zu, Avant Garde, Klipsch, e... | |
| If I add a power amp to my NAD receiver.... Most NAD receivers I've seen have a "pre-out", so you should be able to add an external power amp. Doing so will bypass the internal amp, the external amp will be your power source. Make sure the external amp is at least twice as powerful or you w... | |
| Need help understanding tube wpc A watt is a watt. Watts = Volts x Amps. The equation has no idea whether you used a tube or a transistor. SS amplifiers usually have more current (amps) and tube amplifiers usually have more voltage, and their interaction with the speakers impedan... | |
| Whats more important? Speaker or the Amp I am decidedly in the "speakers are more important" camp. They are the transducers, going from electrical to mechanical energy. In addition, they interface *directly* with the room. Get the speakers right for the room and the amp is a doddle.One o... | |

| grateful dead dick's picks It's not too hard if you pay attention [smile].1) Get a bit torrent client. I use Azureus. The bit torrent client is the program that reads torrent files and then downloads the music files you want.Azureus: http://sourceforge.net/projects/azureus/... | |
| HiFI Fuses ? Sure they do. Almost as much difference as the Shakti Stones and Clever Little Crock.Gimme a break...-RW- | |
| Gallo Reference 3.1 distance from walls? Try to get at least 1 meter clearance if you can. 2 meters would be better still for a deeper soundstage. Limiting (or re-locating) any equipment placed between the speakers will also help quite a bit. I have an HDTV in between mine that is set ba... | |
| Grateful Dead Remasters? I have American Beauty and Workingman's Dead on DVD-Audio and they sound *superb*. Good use of surround sound and some of the tracks have different mizes than the originals. Highly recommended!-RW- | |

| grateful dead dick's picks If bucks are really tight, you might consider seeking out torrents of GD shows - there are hundreds (maybe thousands) of soundboard-quality shows in circulation right now. Just get a torrent client (BitTorrent or Azureus), do a Google search for "... | |
