| A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About With AC; electrons don't drift at all. They oscillate over a distance of a few micrometers (.0000001 Meter = micrometer), without movement along the conductor. | |
| A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About Gimme That Old Time Religion, Gimme That old Time Religion...... (ad nauseam) They’re still trying to evangelically compel those electrons ("charge carriers"), through a conductor (HALLELUJAH!). Anyone interested in today’s science, ca... | |
| A Couple Little Things I'm Wondering About Anything on which your cables rest can add it’s constants to their dielectrics. That changes the permittivity and permeability. If you’ve spent money in an attempt at bettering your reproduction, on good cables; you’ve detuned them (ie: re... | |
| PSA 3 Phono Stage Pre-amp... VS ...Hafler 110 full pre-amp with phono The Hafler DH110's phono stage (alone) contains 10 electrolytic capacitors which, if they haven't been replaced, are between 35 and 40 years old. Of course; there's no harm in experimenting with it. If I had two phono stages; I certainly wo... | |
| PSA 3 Phono Stage Pre-amp... VS ...Hafler 110 full pre-amp with phono Are you referring to the Icon Audio PS3 Phono Stage? Using the Hafler would mean processing the phono signal through both it's Phono and Preamp stages, before inputting to your integrated's preamp stage. Generally speaking; simpler (les... | |
| Tung Sol 6550 NOS vs Grove Tube 6550A NOS btw- You’ll note; they had a grading system, by which a purchaser could choose the distortion inception/levels (ie: at what bias setting/how much) of their tubes (pg 4). Will your seller provide that info? I have to wond... | |
| Tung Sol 6550 NOS vs Grove Tube 6550A NOS "I find information that Groove Tubes is not a tube manufacturer." Correct (they were a tube rebrander, marketing mainly to musicians). "May I know who produce this tube and produce in which coun... | |
| Is there measurement that correlates with cohesive/pinpoint imaging? Whenever a question arises, regarding sound stage and imaging; I make this suggestion: The following provide tests, with which one may determine whether their system actually images, or reproduces a sound stage, as recorded. ie: The LEDR test... | |
| Member Almarg passed away last night Condolences, to the family. RIP, Al Will miss his insights. | |
| Leave tube amps always on? "Tubes, generally speaking, are NOT like light bulbs, so they do not suffer nearly as much from the thermal shock of being turned on." Actually; the cathode in a vacuum tube is heated by a refractory metal filament, generally tungsten, very m... | |

| LittelFuses Series 285 AUDIO/MEDICAL Quality "......the same fuser snake oil s**t" That's the Naysayer Doctrine preacher's outlook, on the 20th Century's Physics. Gimme that old-time religion, gimme that old-time religion........(one can almost hear the Wonder From Down Under,... | |
| LittelFuses Series 285 AUDIO/MEDICAL Quality Back in the 1960’s, those of us blessed with the access to institutions of higher learning, were being taught the truths of wave/particle duality, dielectric constants/polarization, and attending lectures on the theories of virtual photons, Quantu... | |
| LittelFuses Series 285 AUDIO/MEDICAL Quality "YOU GOT NOTHING" doesn’t carry the same impact or religious fervor as, "TRUST ME" and shouting, "AMEN!", but- close enough, Wonder. CHEERS! | |
