| what ohms would I have? You could get away with the tweeter, and an 8 ohm mid, but the response(you'd have a hole) would be far from optimum. Then too: did you make certain the efficiency of the purchased drivers matched? As Mr T suggested: getting a kit from someone lik... | |
| what ohms would I have? Duke is absolutely correct. The impedances that the crossover components see(inductors/capacitors) determine at what frequency they begin their rolloff. Also- If you were to parallel the woofers: the resultant impedance would probably drop below 2... | |
| how much tubes influence on the sound ??? Shalom Bolero32: The small signal tubes(preamp, phase splitter and driver tubes) and your rectifier will make a MAJOR DIFFERENCE in the sound, imaging and sound staging of your system. That also depends on the rest of your equipment, cabling, list... | |
| 12at7 with 12ax7 tubes Happy listening!! | |
| 12at7 with 12ax7 tubes Sebrof- I guess I WAS off a bit. the 5751 is 30% reduction in gain. These sites have the difference as 40% less for the 12AT7: (http://thetubestore.com/gainfactor.html) (http://cydathria.com/fdm/12AX7_sub.html) and(to me at least)that seems greate... | |
| Tube flash Mr J- How old was the tube that failed? Have you contacted Kevin in regards to the tube's failure(and possible warranty)? Did the same thing happen more than once? You mentioned, "the problem has continued"(why I ask). | |
| 12at7 with 12ax7 tubes The 12AT7 is interchangable with the 12AX7, but has slightly more than 30% less gain. ergo: You will have to turn the volume a bit higher to get the same SPL from your system. | |
| Tube flash As Hifi mentioned: most testers do not apply full operating voltages(B+) to the tube being tested. Tubes, under actual operating conditions, will occasionally either short, draw high screen current or open a connection internally. In the event of ... | |
| Synergistic Research IC Active Shielding Mr Sorlowski: The power supply/voltage to the shield is completely isolated from the actual conductor of the IC. The characteristics of the signal conducted by the interconnect are the same whether the component(phono, pre or power amp) is operati... | |
| Did I lose a tube? Hopefully, It'll be that simple. Happy listening! | |
| Did I lose a tube? Yes, it DOES! Swap all the tubes(channel to channel) and see if the, "thinness" changes channels too. If so- swap one pair at a time, and that will indicate which one is weak. It'll require a lot of turning off and on, but will save you the cost o... | |
| Friends, who has headphones with the 1/4" maleplug Any headphones designed for studio/Pro use(ie: Audio-Technica, Sennheiser, Denon, Sony, MB Quart). | |
| Tube Break-In sound character change Though this article regards the actual 300B; you'll probably find the info on burn-in helpful: (http://www.stereophile.com/features/229/index2.html) | |
| High Quality Fuses: Real Gains? Hi-Fi Tuning fuses are not intended for speaker protection, but rather as an upgrade for AC power supply, or B+/rail voltages(though they MAY provide some audible differences in speaker apps). Best place to begin experimentation is the AC mains fu... | |
| Upgrading wall outlets As you have now realized, based on ACTUALLY TRYING THE UPGRADES YOURSELF, and on your own AURAL ACUITY; improvements to your power supply(whether internal to the components, or to your AC source) can yield obvious and audible benefits. KUDOS for i... |
