| Seeking a Warm 12AX7 Tube for Preamp @gotog I also ordered some inexpensive (but reportedly tested and matched) NOS Sylvania 12AT7 from a reputable eBay seller that will be in mid. next week. The preamp has been running for about a week. 2 days ago I received the new 12AX7 Mullard re... | |
| Seeking a Warm 12AX7 Tube for Preamp The picture of the GE 5751s that I'm waiting to come in look to be gray plates. The other 2 tubes are 12AT7 and I have Mullard reissue in those. I don't know what other tubes are interchangeable with those. But I can already see how I might lose ... | |
| Seeking a Warm 12AX7 Tube for Preamp @trivema I think you might be on to something with the "too much gain" comment. I have noticed that I'm at 90dB spl with the volume control at only 9 o'clock. I found some used GE 5751 that I ordered from an eBay seller with a good reputation. He ... | |
| Seeking a Warm 12AX7 Tube for Preamp OK. So I have to come clean... I made an impulse purchase. I've been enjoying THC edibles. And a few weeks ago I got an email about a Chi-Fi option. It is one of those "clones" that's based on a venerable old model who's patent has long since expi... | |
| Does the Vandersteen 1C Hold Up to Modern Standards? @tomic601 Where are these available for $1400? MSRP is almost $1900... | |
| Does the Vandersteen 1C Hold Up to Modern Standards? Thanks for all of the advice folks. I forgot to mention that I have a Schiit Modius D/A and the system runs fully balanced. I'm not sure that it helps much over the D/A that is in the BlueSound Node. But the suggestion from @audiotroy has not been... | |
| Why People Like Tekton I had a pair of Tekton Impact Monitors. They are everything that the manufacturer states. I function-forward design using a unique approach to multi-driver arrays. I don't understand what people are talking about when they say that the build quali... | |
| What are your favorite recordings that sound best to you? I don't know if it's one of the best recordings - but I recently went back and listened to the John Williams recording on the original Jaws theme from 1975. I was shocked at how good the dynamics, soundstage, and impact were captured. | |
| Solid state amp recommendations for Maggies? You may want to consider the PS Audio M1200 monoblocks. I don't own them myself, but I have a close friend who has larger Maggies and pairs them with a tube pre and the result is a sense of immediacy and effortlessness dynamics that is very impres... | |
| 60 Hz Hum from Powered Sub I'm with you @yogiboy!G | |
| 60 Hz Hum from Powered Sub It definitely "developed" the hum. It has been in the same location for about 6 months and it's just begun making the noice in the past 2-3 weeks. From all of the comments collectively, it would appear that the amp has caps that are failing. I'm n... | |
| 60 Hz Hum from Powered Sub OK. So I was wrong about one thing. The permanently attached power cable is a 2-prong, polarized version, where you can't invert it in the wall socket. So there was no way to use a cheater plug to get out of this. @jea48: It is definitely the midd... | |
| 60 Hz Hum from Powered Sub Thanks Miller! Great advice.G | |
| 60 Hz Hum from Powered Sub Will do! Why does that work? Sorry, I'm an electrical noob here...G | |
| TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS I had a pair of Impact Monitors. They were not my cup of tea. I heard none of the magic that others report from the seven driver array. But that's ME in MY room with MY electronics. Hats off to others that love them.On the modification of professi... |
