| Kevin gets the Mr M- Had those tubes been defective; they would, no doubt, have been replaced. I could be wrong, but- I don't believe any tube vendors offer a return, based on customer's tastes, or the way the tubes(NOS or new, anyway) sound in their system. At ... | |
| Better sound As much as I like Auralex products; anything you place under your main/full range speaker, that allows the cabinet to move, will blur imaging and smear transient detail. Spikes are best(solidly anchoring cabinet/draining vibrations), generally adj... | |
| Kevin gets the Based solely on my experience with their tubes; the quality, testing procedures, knowledge base and customer service, of Upscale, are second to none. Kevin's attitude, at times, less so. Whether he has the juice, via his many ad $$$, to coerce TAS... | |
| Radiotechnique 12AU7/ECC82/6189 Sonics That's the branch of Philips Holland, that manufactured tubes in France. Some of the best(small plate) were made in the late 50's. They made another 12AU7WA(longer plate), around 1965, that was nice tube also. Either should prove cleaner and more ... | |
| Power line noise from appliances Have you tried a power regenerator/conditioner, or just, "conditioning?" There's a big difference. If you are averse to that suggestion: Either turn the HVAC off, during your listening sessions(what I do) or get an isolation transformer. You will ... | |
| Fuses that matter. MY BAD; I meant to say, "One might replace a Slo-Blo fuse with a fast blow type...." Sure would be nice, if this, "IMPROVED" site, still allowed for editting a post. | |
| Fuses that matter. "No doubt some boutique fuse manufacturers are just supplying the same product for both fast and slow, but that's another story." On what are you basing that assumption? One might replace a fast blow fuse, with a time delay type, BUT- it would be ... | |
| Top resistors Not having experimented with resistor directionality; I have no opinion regarding validity. However: I can't help but notice; in every picture the tester has his fingers on the body of the resistor and not touching either lead. no doubt; it would ... | |
| Top resistors OOPS- Make that Ohno CONTINUOUS Casting. BTW: I'll bet that the Bulk Foil and Nude Vishays, or Caddock Precision Films, would not show as dramatic a directionality, if at all. | |
| Top resistors The typical O-Scope probe has a ground wire(with an alligator clip), that connects to the side of it's insulator body. The heavily protected(insulated) retractable hook probe, then can be connected to any lead, within(say) a component's chassis, f... | |
| Top resistors OK- In 40yrs of electronics; I've never heard the term, "Crocodile clip." Now- having looked it up, I suppose it was inevitable that someone would coin the phrase. The rest of my post stands pat. | |
| Top resistors In what country is an, "alligator clip" referred to as a, "crocodile clip?" I'm guessing Oscilloscope is not your first language. The tip that is ATTACHED to the other lead of the resistor; is of the, "retractable hook" variety. They lock QUITE SE... | |
| Sub best at high crossover? I can see where having your balls in your ears, might present multiple problems. | |
| Fuses that matter. I thought that might be the case. Happy listening! | |
