| Can I make my stereo play mono by... Buy a preamp with a mono function switch, if you don't have one already! | |
| Can I make my stereo play mono by... Only two-channel tube amps can be parallel-connected! This will give double the power for mono use. Never parallel the outputs of a two-channel transistor amp! Some of these amps have internal bridging circuits that will allow conversion to mono s... | |
| Can I make my stereo play mono by... I find that using a pair of speakers this way for mono is much better than a single speaker. | |
| Can I make my stereo play mono by... Leave your pair of speakers in their normal location. Use the "mono" function on your preamp (if it has one). You will have a nicely centered mono image between the pair of speakers! Leave the amp connected as usual for stereo. | |
| What is a non-active pre-amp stage?? Are their advantages to this design?? Just a single dual-ganged pot or a pair of pots (variable rotary resistors). No gain, no noise! | |
| Tube DAC without output transformer? A tube cathode follower does not require an output tranny and has sufficiently low impedance to drive a cable. | |
| Integrated tube amp under $1000 / $2000 PrimaLuna tube gear is an excellent value for the cost, unlike say, Audio Research! | |
| Best speakers 5k 10 k Ohm Walsh's! | |
| NOS tubes got bent in Ming-Da MC-7R preamp Stick the original Chinese tubes back in and warn interested buyers of the problems! | |

| Why Do Schumann Resonators Work? And a room painted pink will further enhance a mood of calmness, allowing the echt sense of musical "flow" to blossom more fully! | |
| Tube amp forethought @bdp24 +1 Sounds good! | |
| Tube amp forethought If you are still insistent on a tube amp, the Dynaco ST 70 (either vintage or new) is a good match for the 57's. | |
| Tube amp forethought @jperry +1 - I used a Bedini 25/25 with my Quad 57's for years. The only tube amps I found comparable were the Futterman OTL's (I still have 3). An alternative choice would be a nicely restored Quad 303. The 57's are voltage-limited. They will be ... | |
| Why Do Schumann Resonators Work? Buy two, lay down and attach them to opposite sides of head. Turn on and experience cosmic bliss! |
