| Amp "timing" ? Whether it was to this concept of, "timing" that, "someone" was referring(or not), here’s an explanation of, "PRAT"(whether anyone accepts it or not): https://www.stereophile.com/reference/23/index.html (Timing is mentioned on the second page) " B... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? OOPS! Looks like I missed a post. Couldn’t wait, HUH? No surprise! I think I mentioned, in the note I enclosed, they might sound strange, before they’ve been played for a few hours, having been in a drawer for seventeen years. I don’t think the EH... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? Five or ten minutes will do. Be very careful, not to touch ANYTHING inside the unit, BUT one tube’s glass envelope. It’s a pre-amp, but there may still be some serious voltages, waiting to awaken you. The rings are dampers(probably Silicone) and y... | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: The Delusion about The Illusion Here’s an article, on finding out if your system’s at least doing what it’s supposed to, performance wise: https://www.stereophile.com/features/772/index.html And, a link to the LEDR(and other good info links), should you not want to spring for a ... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? @jchiappinelli- I live in the state of confusionI(Stunadia). Have to check myself and my, "facts" constantly. Senior moments/brain farts, seem to be increasing in frequency(Old-Timers Disease, I suppose). PrimaLuna has done much, to take the pain ... | |
| Digital Storage/Server, Sans DAC- What's Available? Now, that is interesting! Would that it had AES/EBU output. My only options would be either a 75 Ohm, RCA to BNC cable, or TOSLINK. Neither of which excite me. Still, I'm saving that info. Thanks! | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? @n80- They kept asking, "Are we there yet?", all the way to the Post Office. | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? @n80- The only deal better than, "free", is if they pay you to take it! | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? @ jchiappinelli - I’ve yet to see a tubed pre-amp, that requires it’s tubes’ biases to be adjusted, when they’re changed/installed. Not saying, one may not exist. Biasing is always required for power output tubes, whether done automatically, or- m... | |
| Digital Storage/Server, Sans DAC- What's Available? Again: " Or did you mean ... and... has interfaces suitable to connect to any DAC?" Yes. The CD ripper is also something I wanted to try. I have a couple spare hard drives, far as storage, but- I’m not buying the Naim anyway. I don’t want my compu... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? You got it! | |
| Digital Storage/Server, Sans DAC- What's Available? "Or did you mean an all in one server & renderer streamer something you can drop files onto and it has interfaces suitable to connect to any DAC?" Yes- and as Mahler mentioned, a way to manage files, without a computer(etc). Something like t... | |
| Kids during audition - aaaaagh!! @minorl - That kind of memory is worth vastly more, than whatever it might have cost. | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? @n80- "I probably should not be pre-loading expectations either!" I haven’t mentioned anything, regarding attributes to be expected/anticipated, for that reason. I’m fairly certain, you and your wife will notice what the tubes deliver, without pro... | |
| Kids during audition - aaaaagh!! Circa 1977, my living room system had a semi-auto TT(turned on when the arm was lifted and placed over the vinyl), with a felt platter mat and which sat atop an old console TV/stereo. My daughter had repeatedly seen me start the music, from her ne... |
