| Tube rolling 6922 tubes looking for transparency I've been using Siemens CCa's(from the late 50's-early 60's) for a number of years(six in my CDP, lately), because of their transparency, frequency extension, bass accuracy and sound stage abilities. The CCa was a specially selected 6922 family tu... | |
| Best Alternatives to Black Gate Caps Parts Connexion still lists a 3.3uF, 50V PK Black Gate on their site(click on Black Gate, bottom of page). (http://www.partsconnexion.com/t/catalog/CapacitorsElectrolytic.html) I wish Sanyo would produce their OS-CONs in higher voltages. | |
| Is this clipping or just high SPL? Perhaps it was a stretch when I assumed most understood; a single classical guitar, a small chamber group, an acoustic jazz or blues set, through Heavy Metal bands or philharmonic orchestras playing fortissimo(ffff) all produce, "live" SPL levels,... | |
| Elusive Tube-Amp Hum As Mr L mentioned; the problem could be a cold solder joint on a ground connection, or a loose ground terminal on one of the RCA jacks. That the problem didn't occur at the shop, without your interconnects, does make them suspect as well. Cheaper ... | |
| Is this clipping or just high SPL? DJ- To answer your question: YES, reflected sound/loud mush at the listening position. As an experiment: find two or three large, thick comforters and drape them on the wall, behind your listening position. That should let you know if slap echo is... | |
| Is this clipping or just high SPL? My listening room is also somewhat small. I found that, at anything approaching a realistic(live or monitor) listening level; the room was overloaded. Treating the back wall(behind my listening position, about 2/3: top-down) with 3" Auralex and LE... | |
| Used tubes question Those that don't experiment with NOS tubes, just don't know what they're missing. Enjoy your music!! =8^) | |
| An honest opinion about upgrading? IF the volume levels which you are obtaining are satifying to you; much of the improvement you desire can be had via NOS driver/phase splitter tubes in your power amp. For definition and clarity, I'd personally recommend a pair of Siemens ECC83's,... | |
| Why 6H30 Tubes? (http://www.balanced.com/) Click on, "The 6H30 Tube - One Designer's Perspective" for some info. That was dated before the tube was readily available in the market. I still personally prefer the upper crust of the NOS 6922 family(ie: Siemens CCa o... | |
| Used tubes question Finding TungSols in matched pairs will be hard to do(no- I can't cite a good source), but worth the effort if you can locate some that are low enough noise for a preamp section. Depending on what half wave rectifier you are presently using(ie: Chi... | |
| Ideas for used SS amp 2nd the Hafler suggestion. ie:(http://cgi.ebay.com/HAFLER-9300-AMPLIFIER-AMP-1200-WATT-HOME-THEATER-MOVIE_W0QQitemZ230373733135QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item35a358330f&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14) The DH-500 will drive you up a wall ... | |
| Foam Plugs It would be nice to know what size woofer you're talking about. The last drivers I shopped for were 10", and that's been a couple years ago. I couldn't buy the drivers that Lyngdorf used in their W210(raw) or anything equivalent, so I stopped shop... | |
| Live equipment chassis Actually- The nation is becoming more Socialist by the minute, in case you haven't noticed(are you a blond, by chance?). Funny, how little sense of humor Liberals have!! BTW- You're quite welcome. | |
| Foam Plugs Mr T- They laughed at Bob Fulton too, when he'd walk into a shoppe with his 'Gold's'. The laughing stopped, when the music started. Look at the revolution in cables he started. Mr E- There are a few drivers available, with fairly long throw voice ... | |
| Live equipment chassis Think of the income potential, equipping all those squirrels out there with miniature Faraday Cage suits. I'll bet Obama and the ASPCA would finance it! Well- It would end up coming out of taxpayer pockets, but........ |
