| Substitute 5V4G tube for 5AR4 tube One of the good things about the Mullards is their longevity. They will most likely be the last rectifiers you'll have to buy for your amps/pres(unless you keep them for the rest of your life). My experience has been that power supply mods make so... | |
| Substitute 5V4G tube for 5AR4 tube While the 5V4 and 5AR4 can be interchanged in your circuit; you'll find the 5V4 less dynamic. A NOS Mullard(Blackburn Plant) 5AR4 will provide long life, dynamics, and a clean/smooth presentation(no sacrifices). ie: (http://cgi.ebay.com/MULLARD-GZ... | |
| Kimber Select IC's As Baggs stated; The higher in the Kimber lineup, the more transparent/resolving the cable. I've worked my way up through their line and have been using the balanced 1130's(out of my BAT VK-D5) for the past 5 years. The more transparent a cable, t... | |

| bi amp imrpoving? I've been multi-amping professional systems for over forty years, as a sound technician, but- thanks for the tutorial. I'm NOT referring to subwoofers, as the ones I've done for home audio are crossed as high as 325Hz(10th order Butterworth). The ... | |
| bi amp imrpoving? Most of the biamping that I've done, for myself and others, has been with planar mains(either Acoustat or Maggie), and transmission line woofers. To me; the greatest benefit to realize with biamping, is the cleaning up of the signal passed to the ... | |
| bi amp imrpoving? Keep in mind that it is not REALLY necessary to bypass, or delete, the existing crossovers in your speaker system, to experience most of the benefits of active biamping. Those are primarily gained though the elimination of highs and lows being fed... | |
| bi amp imrpoving? Active biamping is simple with as little a Dahlquist DQLP-1(still used by Marchisotto, to biamp the Alón Exotica Grand Reference system). I used (and modded in a number of ways) one over the course of almost 25 years, with a variety of systems, an... | |
| Where to find Black Gate 1000uf 25V caps? Michael Percy sold the NX 1000uF, 25V caps for $12.50, but- they are long gone. Like anything else that is highly desirable, and no longer in production; expect to pay a premium, if you can find them. | |
| bi amp imrpoving? Are you referring to passive or active biamping? With active systems(which I've been implemented, at home, since 1980), your amps are only required to process the bandwidth assigned them. This, for instance, relieves the mid/high freq amp of the b... | |
| Speaker hiss I'd bet that you are having to turn your volume up to play those sources, and are hearing, "tube rush." Try to find a pair of 12AX7A's that have been tested, and certified, "low noise- preamp grade." | |
