| a tube amplifier repair technician So how is it going? I could have sworn I wrote to answer by suggestingeven the upgrade to the HiFi Tuning fuses at $30 (now they seem to be $40). But my response isn't here. ? :SI talked to Bob, and I'm sure you have since. So how did it go? | |
| Anbody fool around with different pre/amp jumpers? Some willsay you didn' hear it. I won't.I build wires. I think a tiny dot of solder, verses solderless connectors make a difference. So a 2 inch piece of less than pure copper bar (sorry, most likely junk brass at best) would in my estimation. You... | |
| Bi-amping question I agree with Bob Reynolds regarding the sub.However, I do not remember if you mentioned what speaker cable you were using. I might think, i your cable manu, has a product that is alike in the highs and mids, but is thicker, you'll get more bass. 1... | |
| a tube amplifier repair technician Hi, Couple of things.I do believe that silver plated wire can sound abrasive or at least tipped up in many situations. Bob and I (providing the wire he uses) believe that the gold plated silver metals tame the silver and allow the detail and speed... | |
| Review: Pass Labs Aleph 3 Amplifier I agree with the above. First, this amp isn't the one for a big 2x12 stand of speakers. But as for driving the satelites; I miss my Aleph 5 much.I have an EDGE G.5 that is as good (though different) close. But no more burnt forearms, :) | |
| a tube amplifier repair technician Wow, this brings a few responses. Let me do them in order.Mr. Porter, does the Stev L. you mentioned still work for Krell?It seems one of their email addresses have disappeared. Steven's partner for example.(forgive if I've got the wrong guy)Secon... | |
| How to reply to questions about stereo cost? "as much as a year of your cigarettes", "less than cable that still costs when you're not home to watch it", or everybody's got something",and rarely "we can see what you're ready to spend when you're seriously looking". | |
| Burning cd's for my modestly high-end system... Hi, in my professional DVD copiers I have found the following:Pioneer 112 sounds better than any other under $60 burner, and the LG (frgot the model) "top of the line DVD burner" sounds better than that at $89.As for the disc, in CDs TDK and Tasca... | |
| Hifi Tuning Fuses "More than subtle with no down side." Is my impression to a "T".I tried one first in a Wadia 64, then had a fuse blow in a Krell Power Supply. It was doubted if it would be a benie there. I tried it during a sale early this year. I have since trie... | |
| What's your greatest purchase... My biggest purchase was a Krell KAV 280CD player new at a good price. My biggest savings were on a Wadia 64 D/A, (used in flawless condition) at about 15% of retail Second to a CAL DVD player from reviewer (when he heard repair places were out of ... | |
| Furutech e-TP60 I like my Furuteck, and I like their outlets as replacements elsewhere also. Not as expensive, (said to be slightly less improvement) as O--.Isn't colored and is a lot better than previous Chang. | |
| DIRECTION OF SIGNAL FLOW VIA INTERCONNECTS it is entirely possible, even if it hasn't happened yet, that one using a "shielded cable" installed incorrectly, could find very loud any transmissions of a CB user driving past.Ouch!the shielding send that kind of RF away. Think: Destination-dow... | |
| Penny&Giles----where are they? Mr McCormack is right, the $62 model is quite nice. I love the stepped @$250; but tend to think that all ove these may be better than the Alps or Noble as these are*only industry *standard and not *industry *premium. No offense intended, but it se... | |
| Do you know of any Edge owner's club/forum/other? Hi,I don't, but haven't looked.However, i found the folks at Edge to be willing to spend time, explain answers and give advice. I have only a G.5. But I'd buy from their products again.I look forward to owning an Edge amp of a higher level some day. | |
| Penny&Giles----where are they? Percy likes the $269? TKD pot as the best of it's type. I found it bettered a Wellborne Labs GrayHill at $300 per side parallel pot. |
