| Bendix 6106 burn-in behavior Glad you got it resolved. Of course, being the highest-gain, and earliest, circuit of a preamp, a phono stage would be the most(noticeably) affected, by a misbehaving rectifier. How basic! I was hoping; getting old would take longer! | |
| Bendix 6106 burn-in behavior @markusthenaimnut- If the tube is being used in the preamp, any abnormalities will be noticed on all sources. If your preamp has a tubed phono stage, swap that stage’s tubes, to see if they’re causing the problem. If not: reverse the interconnects... | |

| Which Preamp Tube is most consequential: Input or Gain @peter6- I’d never seen that site. More comprehensive/technical, than the ancient Chimera listening comparison. Thanks! Just fyi: I had long ago settled on Tung-Sol’s Round Plate & Sylvania’s W(tall bottle/metal base), for my input pairs(monob... | |
| Which Preamp Tube is most consequential: Input or Gain @peter6- You may find the following interesting. Be certain to read the third to the last paragraph, as regards combining tube types. http://www.dehavillandhifi.com/6sn7_vt.htm | |

| Making a product to sell and the need for modernity "Keep in mind, this is about perception, not function. The idea is that to sell a new speaker I have to convince you, the buyer, that you are buying something that is as up to date as possible.................... That I have something for sale oth... | |

| Component Stacking Question What mijostyn said! | |
| Sound quality vs. volume Thinking about the OP’s amp(800WPC) and speaker ratings(390W max); I’m skeptical, for the same reason I cited above, but- it’s entirely possible he’s driving the speakers into compression, trying for some ridiculous levels(I try to give people the... | |
| Sound quality vs. volume With 88dB speakers and(a rated) 800wpc(into 4 Ohms), listening 9’ from the drivers; one would have to be deaf, or- want to be deaf, to run out of, "headroom". Of course: anything’s possible. | |
| Sound quality vs. volume Here’s a cheap version of Auralex, which works very well at controlling resonances, when applied correctly. Anyone that tells you different, is simply ignorant/inexperienced. The thickness of the foam is important, with regards to the frequencies ... | |
| Sound quality vs. volume Try sound treatments(to absorb as much as possible) behind your listening position(live end/dead end). I’ve found, in a home listening room, the opposite of a studio(ie: dead front wall), works very well(kills ,"slap echo"). With planars; diffuser... | |
| What equipment upgrades or tweaks will improve the sound of drums? I just dug out and listened to, an album that was probably the most requested, by my customers, for demos. Ry Cooder’s, ’Bop Till You Drop’. Great mix and mic set-up on the kit. Of course, that’s an LP, stamped in 1980. Don’t know how well someone... |
