| Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922 I'm usually at Deland Airport Thanksgiving week for the Skydiving party they host every year. I was in Perry for a few months last year(whatta hole!). If you're into the music and not the tube- the CCa's for you. The pre-70's vintage just gets out... | |
| Lamm L2 Reference tube recommendation There is no substitute for the Russian 6C19P regulator(unfortunate, as the regulator of a tube pre-amp or power amp's power supply can yield much in the way of sonic improvement). The voltage reference tube(5651) can be found in a Raytheon, Sylvan... | |
| Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922 Glory- Where are you located? I've got a spare pair of NOS Siemens CCa's and E188CC's we could try in your rig, if you're somewhere in Indiana. Not German- But I've bought a bunch of tubes from there over the years. The Internet makes it easy to d... | |

| Audio Grade Fuse, Anyone? OK Greeni- Thanx for the info! | |
| Audio Grade Fuse, Anyone? Mr G- Any chance you could provide a clearer addy or URL for the source of those fuses? | |
| System too harsh Help There is no doubt that proper speaker placement and room interaction must be addressed first in any system set-up. However- Every step up that I have made in my system's cables, interconnects, and power cords has yielded audible benefits(generally... | |
| Biwire posts; how to connect? Some speaker manufacturers use high quality jumpers between the high and low freq. posts, others skimp there. If the jumpers are chintzy- your sound will suffer and you would be better served by making the connection with stripped speaker cable. | |
| Help preamp problem: overload? The max output levels of your BCD-1 are 2.3v(single-ended) and 4.6v(balanced), which are both quite high. Again- That the "relay clicking" and going into "standby" disappear at a lower gain setting indicates a muting circuit protecting everything ... | |
| Help preamp problem: overload? If that Sibelius CD is not overly compressed, and actually exhibiting the dynamic range that the medium is capable of: When your pre's volume knob is turned to the level you mentioned(to sound good at the lower end of the dynamic range)- at the or... | |
| best way to break in new paradigm studio series If you want to speed the process somewhat: Place them close together, facing each other, and with the polarity reversed on one system's terminals/cable. This will cancel a large part of the output, and make the break-in period more tolerable. Eith... | |
| A 9 watts SET for the Maggies, Heavenly marriage Just in case you(or any other interested party) failed to click on that URL: The CAD 805 Anniversary Edition offers 50 watts per channel, Pure Class A Single Ended Triode Mono Blocks with dual 6SN7 input stage, 300B driver stage tube, includes bot... | |
| Gain versus volume If I understand your question correctly: The "volume" knob on your preamp IS a "gain" control. Hence- There is no actual difference since the are both really amplifiers(one a pre-amplifier and the other a pre-pre-amplifier). As Mr V stated: The on... | |
| Help with a Western Electric Rectifier Please YES- It is a DC output power supply. The output(secondary) of the transformer is changed via the taps. I'm guessing those are instructions on the door? That KS-5663-L7 is the model number. You might try contacting WE with that model number for pos... |
