| Rectifier Tube Rolling in a Modwight LS 36.5DM If you desire a "different" sound you can try different makes of the other tubes in your preamp: 12A*7/ECC81,82, 83's/5751's, 7025's, 6DJ8/6922/ECC88's, 6SL/6SN7's .. This is a SAFE method! | |
| Rectifier Tube Rolling in a Modwight LS 36.5DM Different rectifier tubes also draw different amounts of current from the power transformer - even though most are all 5 volt heaters. Too much current draw from the 5 volt AC winding will cause the power transformer to overheat and fail! Stick to... | |
| Rectifier Tube Rolling in a Modwight LS 36.5DM Different rectifier tubes drop the B+ voltage by different amounts. That's all! This will effect an electrical circuit's operating points. It is best to use the rectifier that particular circuit was designed for! For instance, a 5Y3 cannot be subs... | |
| Considering purchasing different speakers You want holographic sound, 3-D, performers in the room ... forget the above two speakers! Buy a pair of Ohm Walsh speakers! I've had a pair in use now for years and they do deliver! | |
| Skeptic or just plain hard headed Dr.Watson! Come here quick! What is it Sherlock? I have found a way to remove phlogiston from wires! No more need for "burn-in"! Instantaneous results! | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD @john1 : Excellent post! There is more "there" in those microgrooves than many realize! After all, audio recording starts with a vibrating mike diaphragm moving a coil in a magnetic field. A completely analog process! And should be played back by ... | |
| Does anyone use white gloves to handle records? I used a laundered pair of brown cotton gloves for handling my LPs! Detective Monk would have approved! I'll have to get another pair (lost the first pair)! | |
| Muse Model 2 DAC The Muse DAC 2 is a fine unit and is worth restoration! Be sure to get a 75 ohm 1 meter (or longer) RCA-to-RCA cable to connect it to a CD/DVD player/transport. Canare makes a good one! | |
| Muse Model 2 DAC Throw that Prima Luna CD player in the trash! Go to EBay. You can find plenty of older CD players there for cheap and in still-working condition. Same for DVD players! They play CD's just fine and will work as a transport to connect to a DAC! | |
| Muse Model 2 DAC A fuse either works or it doesn't! There is no "half-way" point. Take that fuse out and hold it up to a light. Look inside. Is the wire within broken? If not, the fuse is still good. There should be lettering near the fuse holder indicating type: ... | |
| Denon DL 103 modifications and re-body questions thread @lewm : Read Mitchell Cotter's article in The Audio Critic (circa '77) where he lays out the case for the superiority of MC's and the SUT/active stage controversy. I owned his Verion P transformer and used it for years with the GAS Sleeping Beauty... | |
| Road to Hana - Best Audio CD ?????????????????????????????????????? | |
| Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ? Check out the new Luxman L509x integrated! See the review in the May Stereophile! It might be what you are looking for! | |
| Are Pass Labs amps probably the best ever you can buy ? What speakers do you own? And your source: analog or digital? | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Avoid new pressings made from digital files! NOT the same sound as original analog first pressings. I had the Led Zeppelin LP box set made from digital remasters. NG! Thumbs down! Couldn't stand to listen to it! |
