| Psvane CV181 TII in both driver and splitter on VAC Renaissance 70/70? Your, "...other issue..." is addressed; in the third paragraph from the bottom, of this tube survey/comparison: http://www.dehavillandhifi.com/6sn7_vt.htm A well-chosen, NOS pair of decent 6SN7s would benefit your presentation. ... | |
| Cal Audio Alpha/Delta Question Here's where I shop, for small signal tubes: http://www.audiotubes.com/12ax7.htm Brent is hard to beat, when it comes to honesty, informed opinion and product quality. Tell him your preferences, far as presentation; he'll hook you u... | |
| What ever happened to.... I, "chock up" the very noticeable improvement that I (and everyone to which I’ve demonstrated the effect, in the past 40 years) have heard, to a redirection of the magnetic flux that surrounds most power transformers. That’s called, "PHYSICS".... | |
| Cal Audio Alpha/Delta Question Glad you found a good fuse, that won't be a risk! I really enjoyed the Alpha/Delta combo. It was the first digital rig I'd heard, that sounded like music and actually presented something resembling a soundstage (depth and all), with the right... | |
| What ever happened to.... @mike_in_nc : "It didn’t." It wasn’t designed/intended to. | |
| What ever happened to.... They’ve been back in production for a while now. More expensive than back in the Eighties, of course. Stereophile re-ran their original review, last year: https://www.stereophile.com/content/vpi-magic-brick | |
| Cal Audio Alpha/Delta Question I had the same setup, before my BAT VK-D5. Rolling tubes though the Sigma II and Alpha (owned both), made a NOS Siemens tube believer out of me. Hopefully: yours has the 24/96 upgrade. I would be very hesitant to try a 5/10A fuse, si... | |
| Stereo Times list of the " 2020 MOST WANTED COMPONENTS" Wish I could get someone to send me a couple of those $2844 each (Almas Beluga) fuses, that so captivated Stereotimes' three reviewers, to try for free in my Cary Monos. Then again: perhaps not. I might need to keep them and buy another... | |
| Hafler 9130 Right Input RCA loose... How do I access this? Look at the PC board, directly above the RCAs (either side of the stereo/mono switch, behind/under the two, yellow, metalized Mylar caps). Examine the solder through-holes (solder points) for the RCAs (there should be three each) and look for... | |
| Electro-Voice E-V SIX Here's a much better woofer, for home audio: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/43813/Electro-Voice-Dl15w.html Foam surround and a much greater voice-coil winding depth (greater Xmax= less compression/distortion) than their other (pro) 15s.... | |
| Can AC Outlets really make a difference? You can educate ignorance (IF it isn’t willful) and you can medicate crazy, but; you can’t fix stupid. Any pearls offered will be stomped into the slop of the Naysayers’ sty. Save your keystrokes! | |
| Electro-Voice E-V SIX Buy a pair of these, to use as subwoofers (no connection to seller): (https://www.ebay.com/itm/6-Electrovoice-30W-sub-woofer-speakers-for-tube-amplifier-audio-western-ele...) Same cone material as their 18". EV probably still offers OEM r... | |
| tube noise coming right from the tube Sounds like a bad, brand new, rectifier tube. Possibly: a cold solder joint or loose contact, in the tube socket. | |
| Suggestions Please . . Picky Tuner To clarify my last sentence: if you compared the intercity reception of the two tuners, with the same antenna setup/direction and the Fisher performed better, it’s selectivity must be superior. And, to correct my Grammar, "(if YOU’RE using the ... | |
| Suggestions Please . . Picky Tuner FM signals are directional. Properly receiving them takes choosing the correct antenna and getting it oriented, for the desired station. info: https://www.gcaudio.com/tips-tricks/fm-ant... |
