| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Hey Joe- If it's still blowing the fuse: Replace it and swap the tubes around after marking the one that blew the fuse(assuming the fuses are designated as to which tube socket they supply). If it blows another fuse: see if it corresponds with the... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Here's another log for the fire: (http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue32/fuses.htm) These fuses are getting a lot of positive reactions for just being a "gimmick" it would seem! I'll be happy to wrap my little (Gold)fingers around some this week... | |
| Subwoofer: How low should I go? If he were to go with a down-firing woofer: he could always park it on a nice, flat slab of granite. Easy to find, and fairly non-resonant. | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Hey Joe- Any electronics store will have the correct Buss fuses you need. Sometimes a bad tube(internal, intermittent short perhaps) will blow a fuse. Hopefully it's not a transformer(worst case). DON'T buy Radioshlock fuses. They'll blow of their... | |
| cable suggestions I agree on the veiling the Audioquests exhibit(I've tried a few of their interconnects and speaker cables and still have a couple of their power cords). I've got Cary SLM-100s(modded) and I'm using Kimber Selects(silver), and Silver Audio Hyacinth... | |
| Subwoofer: How low should I go? YES: Eldartford has an excellent and correct point concerning the improvements a sub can have on your system. That's providing the subwoofer system has a means of subtracting the freqencies it's reproducing from the mains(especially if it relieves... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Just to add a bit more fuel to the fire I'm certain this thread will start: (http://www.stereophile.com/powerlineaccessories/907fuse/) I like to hear what the people that listen to equipment for a living have to say sometimes. | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Here is a site that has some testimonies as to their effectivness: (http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1782) As usual there are those that haven't tried them, and have an opinion(for what that's worth=0). I would add to the previ... | |
| Please suggest integrated for large space YES- The Musical Fidelity A5 would be an excellent choice. | |
| Cartridge mount screws - stainless steel You really don't want any any ferrous metal near your cartridge. It will change the flux pattern of your magnet. Have you tried any of your local hobby supply houses, or Ace Hardware for stainless, brass, plastic or alloy? Here's a link to a mount... | |
| mono amps one weaker than the other ???? Switch the tubes between the amps, and see if the problem follows. If it does(assuming you have the Conquests): switch the pair of 6SN7s, and see if it follows again. If not try the 5U4Gs(A rectifier going south would certainly lower your output l... | |
| Tube Rolling with Onix SP3 There are some constants that can be seen with tubes in general. Some Manufacturer's tubes are more microphonic in the midrange(consistantly) for instance, and some very transparent. Most British made tubes have a sweet coloration(glaze) in the mi... | |
| Digital crossovers? I've been bi-amping with a TacT RCS2.2X for 3 years. The previous format was a Placette passive Linestage and a modded Dahlquist DQ-LP1, which combo proved extremely transparent. What very slight loss of transparency was experienced has been more ... | |
| Silky and soft highs: product of coloration? As stated: The ideal amplifier will simply pass what it is fed without any change whatever, only adding gain. Those amps truly are rare, but- extemely important to those that WANT to hear exactly what is recorded. YES- everything in the reproducti... | |
| Quad ESL 2805 or Avantgarde uno Horn? Another consideration is: How much power do you intend to drive them with? The Avantgardes are extremely efficient 100db/1w/1m, and can be driven by low powered amps(ie: SETs) to loud levels. As mentioned: They will act as a magnifying lens toward... |
