| What do you gain from bi-amping Magnepan 1.6s or Some info on the subject: (http://sound.westhost.com/bi-amp.htm) | |
| dynaco st 70 what tubes to replace first 1959, actually. One of the most important components in the building of a good sounding tube amp is the output transformer(if you're going to use one). The originals in the ST-70 were pretty darn good. With upgraded RCAs/speaker terminals/PC/chass... | |
| Best Internal Hook Up wire (http://www.percyaudio.com/Catalog.pdf) on page 2; for the Vampire wire that you want. Michael has a minimum order of $25.00, but you're certain to find something else in his catalog that you'll find interesting/useful. Happy listening! | |
| dynaco st 70 what tubes to replace first It's important to note that there are many variables that will determine, or limit, a listener's ability to discern improvements/changes in presentation. ie: A system(source/pre/speakers/cables) that does not present or pass the info on the record... | |
| dynaco st 70 what tubes to replace first If the amp didn't come with a Mullard(Blackburn Plant) GZ34/5AR4 rectifier; get one(NOS). It will probably be the last one you'll ever have to buy for the unit. That and NOS 7199's(Philips ECG=best, or RCA black plate, Sylvania) will both make maj... | |
| Matching Replacement Woofers Mr B- In the initial post, it sounded like the manufacturer of the speaker system was out of business. Then too: I doubt many would blame the company for abuse that the system suffered at the owner's hands, as most woofers are blown/damaged by bei... | |
| Matching Replacement Woofers Mr T- Because Waldom is the only manufacturer of reconing parts, outside of the companies that distribute kits to their warranty stations(mostly just for pro drivers; ie: Gauss Cetec, JBL, EV, Altec, etc.). At least; that's the way it was when I h... | |
| Matching Replacement Woofers Unfortunately- ALL reconers use Waldom Electronics parts with which to recone woofers(unless they are a warranty repair service for the driver in question). The chances of their using a voicecoil, spider and cone combination that would actually ma... | |

| Wire the House A/C or get Power Conditioner? I bought a brand new, American made, 250' spool of 10/2 Romex off eBay, for $75.00(shipped). That was about one third the price locally. It's YOUR aural satisfaction that's important, not your electrician's happiness! Use 10 AWG for your dedicated... | |
| Wire the House A/C or get Power Conditioner? Keep the runs separated by about six inches, over their total length, to avoid any induction. | |
| Wire the House A/C or get Power Conditioner? You should do both, but follow the path that Rushton suggests. Been there, done that and wish I'd done the double run of 10AWG & high grade outlets first. And an emphatic YES; high quality power cords are part of the equation also. I'm using a... | |
| Rectifier Tube Clarification/Help W/ Dared 2000a From personal experience(and many agree): The Mullard/Blackburn GZ34 provides some of the best sound and longevity, of any NOS rectifier. |
