| Converting Solid State to Tube Rectification on a Preamp If you haven’t already, try some ultrafast/soft recovery HEXFREDs first. Much simpler, and may satisfy your desire for improved sound. ie: (http://www.partsconnexion.com/rectifier_diode_fred.html) &(http://www.partsconnexion.com/rectifier_brid... | |

| Amperex 6SN7GTB The only Amperex 6SN7GTBs that I’ve seen, had bottom getters(on one side/from Europe). Apparently, there are other iterations out there though, per these pics. No info though(sorry): https://www.google.com/search?q=amperex+6sn7gtb&tbm=isch&... | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? Good thing you can't lose your sense of direction skydiving, right cz? | |
| MRI grade vs Hospital grade electric outlets OR- a religion? Some must be experiencing Nirvana(literally means, "blown/blowing out", in Sanskrit). Maybe Naive-ana? | |
| Hearing is believing?........power cables....... It appears that some think(or hope) the more they type, the more deaf we, or the more correct they, will become. There are phenomena(correct plural) that occur every second, all over this universe, that no one can yet explain. We can hear, "differ... | |
| Looking for a new cartridge- Dynavector Karat 17D3 or Sumiko Blackbird I’m really happy with my 17D3(wide/deep sound stage/ruler flat, wide freq response/excellent imaging, ambiance retrieval and tracking), but- be certain you have enough gain for a .3 mV/ch output. The Blackbird Lo outputs .7 mV/ch. Less required ga... | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? I'll try not to get off topic, in the future. The loop I got in, got caught in one of those circular circles. | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? @czarivey- "Skydiving when stoned is another super-thrill and I do that when I get chance before I reach an airplane!" I’m a jumper(since 1980) and a toker as well(as are about half of those at our DZ). One of the last things I’d do, is impair my ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... @wolf_garcia - The current capability of your transformer is also a consideration. I’d recommend contacting Dennis for info, but wouldn’t know how(these days). Sorry I couldn’t offer more, though you may be able to glean something from this thread... | |
| Audiophile Humor He said a lot more than that(to which I wasn't even referring), over the years. To me, his classic was, "I never listen to live music, but- I have a pretty good idea what it sounds like." Even somewhat needing the rag, to keep informed as to what ... | |
| Furutech AC Receptacles If you’re going to plug something into an outlet, with the intent of having the outlet carry current for two to three hundred hours, make it something that will remain, "ON" for two to three hundred hours. Fridges and coolers are only, "ON" long e... | |
| Audiophile Humor Stereo Review’s, "funniest" and biggest joke was Julian Hirsch, the stone deaf, everything-sounds-the-same, "audiophile". Of course, those of like aural acuity never could get the joke. | |
| How much does tube brand REALLY affect sound in terms of rectifier tubes? Seems someone could manufacture a low impedance/low voltage drop valve rectifier(now), that provided sonics at least as good, as those made over three decades ago. The cost of even the best, most desirable, NOS rectifiers would drop like a rock. | |
| How much does tube brand REALLY affect sound in terms of rectifier tubes? There are a few companies now manufacturing tubes, that have tried to produce valves, copying the internal construction/design parameters of some of the most popular, from decades back. Mainly, what they’ve succeeded in duplicating(capitalizing on... |
