| I need some speaker help Addendum: Yes- The alternative is a much more efficient speaker system. But at 92db/1w/1m the DT 7002's are already fairly high efficiency. How big is your listening room? With 200wpc and 92db efficiency you should able to generate some fairly hig... | |
| I need some speaker help I agree with the first two posters. From the damage you are sustaining, it sounds like you are clipping your amp and need more (clean) power. Amplifier clipping will take out tweeters(and/or x-over caps) regardless of the brand/quality of the spea... | |
| popping sound with new 6922 tube I agree with the above statements, but would add one note: If you do buy a tube tester- get one that checks the tube at full operational voltage. Some anomalies(IE: anode to grid breakdown voltage) won't show themselves at reduced voltage levels a... | |
| Does a Postal Money order need to "clear"? The last two banks I dealt with charged ME $30.00 each time MY TENANT wrote a bad check TO ME. If an individual purchasing an item chooses to not use Paypal or Western Union(as one of my European buyers did), he can wait the few days that it takes... | |
| bi amping question Mr F- That's why I asked what sound appeals to you more: There are some NOS 6SN7/VT-231's that offer a very lucid/dynamic(transparent/accurate) presentaton, and then some that are somewhat warmer and relaxed(euphonic). It could save you some $$ to... | |
| Comparing Integrateds by Primaluna and Cary Mr K- You got me on that one. I got my wires crossed between the AE offerings and PrimaLuna. And I've been a Cary user for over 6 years now too. Shame on me!! | |
| Comparing Integrateds by Primaluna and Cary Dennis Had's second string components would be a much fairer comparison for the PrimaLuna line(they are built in china as well): (http://www.upscaleaudio.com/view_category.asp?cat=29) | |
| Treatments or therapy - what on earth.. funny I thought the explanation was perfectly clear, especially the treatise on using small mosaic tiles as acoustic damping. He also explained the mess in the bowl as his response to sound of the system(vomit). | |
| does temperature affect speaker performance? Here's an interesting site that can provide a lot of insights with regard to venue acoustics and temperature/sonic speed: (http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/sound/souspe.html) Of course the lower humidity in the winter time will affect so... | |
| Low Noise Tube Suggestions Hi Stew- As Mr M stated: 6201's are drop ins, and actually just another designation of the 12AT7 family as are the ECC801S, ECC81, CV4024, etc. Yes- Upscale Audio is an excellent place to shop for top quality tubes(I've purchased my output tubes f... | |
| Low Noise Tube Suggestions The Telefunken ECC801S and Siemens ECC81 tubes were built and specially selected(low noise) for the German Telephone Service. Most 6201 tubes are also built with extra mica and other low-noise features. I've got a NOS matched pair of 6201's that I... | |
| How to fix "hum" in Carver Preamp & Hafler Amp? Given the age of those components(Over 20 yrs), the power supply caps have no doubt seen better days. I start there, and replace them all. | |
| Can tubes ever be as quiet Solid State Presently there two 1940's TungSol JAN CTL/VT-231 round plates, two 1940's Sylvania 6SN7W tall bottles, and six Siemens CCa's(beside the eight Winged 'C' 6550's) residing in my system. If there were ANY noise AT ALL at the speakers(with the pre-am... | |
| Does a Postal Money order need to "clear"? Yes- People counterfeit M.O.s and also put Stop-Payments on Certified Bank Checks as well. If I received a Postal M.O., I'd take it to the Post Office. A Certified Check or Bank Money Order would have to clear before I'd ship an item. | |
