| Recommended 12au7/5814s for Atma-sphere MP-3 You may find some of these observations useful:(http://home.comcast.net/~gillespie147/12AU7-Preamp.html)(http://home.att.net/~chimeraone/6sn7sound.html) I've tried the top 8 tubes on the Chimera list. The RCA, Raytheon and National Union VT-231's(... | |
| solder-Eutechnic,Wonder,WBT?? I prefer not to "hear" my solder- Use WBT or Wonder! | |
| bi amping question What 6SN7's are you employing in your amps, and what type of sound do you enjoy(clean, detailed, dynamic or warm, tubey, relaxed, etc)? | |
| Xindak Fuse Question Given the lack of quality exhibited by anything from china(not capped intentionally), I would certainly NOT be inclined ADD anything they offered to my audio equipment. It seems the only thing they're good at over there is counterfeiting(anything ... | |
| bi amping question Mr F- Yes, you can. That's the way it's done when a passive(or active) external crossover is not employed. The output voltage of the pre will be split between the amps. To be done with proper results in this configuration- both amps should be iden... | |
| BAT VK75 vs. BAT VK75SE - which is more euphonic? You mentioned that you like a "tubey" sound. By purchasing the SE version you will be restricted to the sound of the 6H30(6H30P, 6H30P-DR/EV/EB) tube, which I've never heard described as "tubey". If you were to opt for the VK-75, you would have a ... | |
| Quicksilver and 6SN7 pre BTW: That's not me selling those! | |
| Quicksilver and 6SN7 pre If you want open/detailed sound(without glare) with 6SN7's: Try a NOS pair of 40's TungSol JAN CTL/VT-231/6SN7GT, bottom gettered, round plates(not the mouse eared ones) or 40's Sylvania JAN CHS/6SN7W, tall bottles(the short ones stink). The Sylva... | |
| leave power on? What Jax2 said X 4! | |
| How Much Are Canadian Customs on US Made Imports The have an import duty on everything. I sent a pair of used Paradigm Atoms up there some years ago, and the unfortunate purchaser ended up paying slightly more than a new(canadian made) pair would have cost him. That was my first experience with ... | |
| is there a consensus on too short speaker cables? I was kidding(about everything)! The Skin Effect(time/phase anomolies) generated by using cable that large(without it being constructed of "Litz" type wire) would be unbearable. Then of course: It would need to be braided to avoid inner and outer ... | |
| Class A, AB OOPS- I should have said, "Most Solid State amplifiers". | |
| Class A, AB Most amplifiers are called "Class A/B" because the operate in Class A at very low power outputs, then switch to Class B operation at higher outputs. A 100 watt amp may put out 5 watts in Class A, then switch to Class B above that level. Even the m... | |
| behringer reference? With regards to your point "b", I reiterate: I've had to use Same Day Music's liberal return policy a number of times. That "number of times" was a direct result of reliablity issues. IOW: The gear either stopped working, or stopped working proper... | |
| is there a consensus on too short speaker cables? Thanks for that wondeful insight Mr P. I just got back from AutoZone where I purchased two pair of jumper cables. Based on your empirical data and profound wisdom: They should really perform great, and add a macho touch to the system as well. Now-... |
