| Studio Signal Flow advice 01 I forgot to mention(but- you probably already know): ARC will sell you a rack mount faceplate for anything they build(pretty cheap too). | |
| Studio Signal Flow advice 01 Just about anything made by ARC is a good way to go. I've owned an SP9, and an SP14 and loved them both. Wonderfully transparent after I upgraded the power cord(installed IEC connectors to both), and plugged in some NOS Siemens E188CC tubes(I'd us... | |
| OK to use unmatched or different brand tubes? Here's a site with some info on the 12AX7 family: (http://www.audiotubes.com/12ax7.htm) If you like an accurate, transparent sound: Go for a pair of NOS Siemens or Telefunken ECC83 (or better) tubes. If you like a warm, sugar coated midrange: Buy ... | |
| white noise from tweeters I'm using an Audio Magic Stealth XXX, BAT VK-D5(tubed output stage), TacT RCS 2.2X, Cary SLM-100(tubed monos/mains), Hafler TransNova 9505(woofers)and my system is dead quiet with your ear against the Main speakers. I'd have to say there is a prob... | |
| Yet another balanced/XLR cable reco "?" $200 Try Kimber's Hero or Silver Streak, and I'll bet you never use Zu again. Transparent and overall balance/realism- YES, and it just gets better as you move up the product line. | |
| OK to use unmatched or different brand tubes? I wouldn't spend a dime on tubes that were just tested as, "working." Any tube vendor of worth will be able to test for triode(gain) balance within a tube, cathode current, percentage of tube life left, microphonics etc., and should be able to pro... | |
| OK to use unmatched or different brand tubes? My original post was based on the thought that you were trying out different small signal tubes to compare them. If you are planning to use them in the system: By all means buy closely matched pairs, of the same manufacturer. Your balance, imaging... | |
| OK to use unmatched or different brand tubes? As long as the tubes are of the same family(IE: ECC83, 12AX7, CV4004, 12AX7A, 12AX7WA, ECC803S, E83CC, CV492, 6681, 6057, M8137, 5751, 12DT7), you can mix and match pairs to your heart's content. You won't hurt anything. | |
| impedance of HEIL AMT tweeters? If yours use the ESS 689-1107 diaphragm: the DCR is 3.8 ohms. | |
| Long speaker cables - cost vs performance Yes- If at all possible: Move the amps(shorter cables/longer interconnects). | |
| Studio Signal Flow advice 01 I'm using a custom 48 channel John Oram BEQ-PRO(over $30K, can send pics) and wouldn't think of feeding my audio through it. Regardless of how good your mixer might be, the more connections, cables, pieces of equipment(and their passive/active dev... | |
| Speaker out of service If the pop came from inside the speaker cabinet: you may well have blown up a crossover capacitor. I've replaced a lot of popped electrolytics over the years. Have all the drivers stopped working, or just the woofer, mid or tweet? If the speaker h... | |
| Do enzymes only live for 8 hours Punkuk- A little Comet w/Clorox on that Brillo Pad will keep the mold/mildew down as well. | |
| Do enzymes only live for 8 hours Hey Dick- kinda like this?: (http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/E/EnzymeKinetics.html) | |
| Bi-wired vs Single Termination I've read the same article a number of times. In fact: It inspired me to go with WireWorld Atlantis 5's for awhile. I now have the Eclipse 5's on my mains(I'm actively bi-amping with a TacT RCS 2.2XP). As inexpensive as the Home Depot extension co... |
