| Warm up time for record playing Happy listening! | |
| Warm up time for record playing Unless you own a really unusual Preamp; it’s phono stage circuitry is energized when the unit’s powered up (just no signal, unless selected). At least: I’ve never seen what you’ve described, in any I’ve owned, researched, sold, repaired or up... | |
| Quick fuse question Appears: you’ve got things covered, mktracy. Nice gear! I really enjoyed my ARC pieces, back when. Just ignore anything The Wonder From Down Under posts (OCD/mental constipation/digital diarrhea). | |
| Quick fuse question I get it, mktracy. Like I said; peace of mind is important. Since you’re able to discern the differences fuses make in your other gear: have you experimented with upgraded interconnects and power cords? There’s aural gold in those, dep... | |
| Telefunken vacuum tube E88CC-TK; NOS versus brand new. The primary reason for my confidence in stating that, if not for the lower noise floor of the CCa Siemens, the E88CC and E188CC's all sound virtually identical, is the fact that the BAT CDP has allowed me to hear every nuance, of every tube audi... | |
| Telefunken vacuum tube E88CC-TK; NOS versus brand new. @orpheus10 - If you get to try Frogman’s Teles, please: post your impressions. | |
| Telefunken vacuum tube E88CC-TK; NOS versus brand new. While searching for three matched pairs of early Sixties (grey shield/external date code*) Siemens CCa’s, for my BAT CDP’s output stage, I purchased a matched pair each, of the same generation/iteration E88CC and E188CC (only those found with clos... | |
| Need Help To Find Out What Mic Is Shure’s SM58 has been recognized as an industry standard, far as (reasonably priced/road-worthy) vocal mics, for over five decades. No doubt; the most cloned/counterfeited vocal mic, ever. One could only take a wild guess, as to whose kno... | |
| Quick fuse question Have fun/happy listening! | |
| Telefunken vacuum tube E88CC-TK; NOS versus brand new. @melm- Upscale Audio tests and rates their tubes for noise, as do some of the other tube mongers. Look for his, "Platinum" rating, for the quietest. https://upscaleaudio.com/pages/grading-matching Brent Jessee’s noise test... | |
| CJ MF2550 Replacing the power amp fuss Happy listening! | |
| DAC Break In Period Check out either the Kimber Kable or Synergistic Research offerings (even older/used), if you want to preserve your music's nuance, sound stage width and depth (etc). It's surprising (in a dismaying way) how many interconnects will act like ... | |
| Quick fuse question Got it (I thought the Bussman came out of another component). If I’m not mistaken; the Silver Star’s been discontinued, though some dealers still have a limited inventory, on sale. I had used the Classic Gold, for years and liked them. ... | |
| CJ MF2550 Replacing the power amp fuss Yes; you’ll be able to replace the rail fuses, by removing your bottom plate. Of course: unplug the amp, first. | |
| Quick fuse question I'd try an AMR 5A, Slow-Blow and see if it holds. The 5A Bussman may have been old and compromised/weak, from however long it had been in use, prior. If a 5A AMR won't hold, through a normal start-up; your amp won't hurt itself with a 6... |
