| what do you use to remove your tubes? Fingers.I've always believed the myth came from other types of bulbs that get very hot. In a previous job I dealt with 1000w bulbs and the word there was don't touch. We always had latex gloves on (clean room) and we were told to put a clean pair ... | |
| Speltz Anti Cables I knew it was magnet wire before I bought from Paul. Actually, I'm not sure how you could not know if you took only a few minutes researching, definately not a secret. They were professionally terminated and convenient, and cheap. As good as they ... | |

| handheld voltmeter The amps I've had that needed biasing required a meter to measure mili-volts, not watts or amps.Might want to check the manual.An old analog Simpson with the mirrored scale would be great and bring back memories, but overkill for this application,... | |

| Sensitive enough speakers for low power SET I have Klipschorns (104db) and just got an 807-based SE amp @ 6 watts/channel from a builder in the Chicago area. I'm in a small room, but with 6 watts I could be in a large room and still have plenty power. I had a SE amp with EL84s @ about 2 wat... | |
| Need Some Educated Advice...For a Newbie Tuber I have the same amp (JD1000A) that also had stock tubes. I gave Jim MCShane an email and he set me up with some input/driver tubes based on what I told him I was looking for. 4 tubes for < $100. The difference was surprising to me, well worth t... | |

| A Few Audio Truths I've Learned? I think we forget about #16 (the first #16 in the original post) too often. We tend to speak in absolutes. "This amp is better than that amp", etc. It always depends on associated gear, room, personal preferences. Synergy or lack of it can make or... | |
| Primare I30 vs Krell KAV 400xi I agree with Okocza, the match is very important.I had the Krell 400xi with Maggie 1.6s. It was a good match - Nice and clean sound, no sign of the Krell running out of power.I changed speakers to Martin Logan Ascent i. Not a good match for the Kr... | |

| What do you do when you listen to music? I'll start to read or cruise the internet or do something else but almost always stop, put the book down or close the laptop, and just listen. Like Arthur said, the music gets my full attention every time. | |
| sunfire amps good?? I used a Sunfire Stereo II amp to drive Maggies for a few years. Maggies are not very tough loads (4 ohms, flat impedance curve, 86db) but they do open up with good power. The Stereo II provided 325 / 650 watts 8 / 4 ohms, and for $800 - $1000 use... | |
| Why so little Primare gear on A'gon? Bad rep? I was looking for a new amp, and my dealer suggested a Primare I21 integrated. I wasn't expecting much out of a 75 watt integrated amp, but I was very impressed with the home audition and I bought it. I've had it for several months now and I'm ver... | |
