| Amplifier heat...help! If the Sugden is Class A it will run as hot or hotter than a lower powered tube amp, and will do so whenever it is plugged in, regardless of whether it is turned on. As far as an EL-84 amp that puts out more power, try the RAM RM-10. No idea of ... | |
| Is it safe to A/B 2 different speakers using my int. amp's balance so I can compare? Unless the speakers have exactly the same sensitivity at all frequencies, there will be differences in frequency response. Also the speaker with the overall higher sensitivity will have more output. Supposedly, psycho-acoustic studies show most ... | |
| Conrad Johnson Repair Issues OUTRAGEOUS!!!1. No way should they (or probably could they) have repaired the unit if it was in the physical condition you described. Call back and ask for the customer service manager or the owner. Send them a link to this thread. 2. It seem... | |
| Little help please Probably no reason to ship to Italy unless it's under warranty. Any good tube technician should be able to fix the amp. Usually (maybe always) output transformers are one per channel so that's unlikely. Which is a good thing because they are us... | |
| Your first component that was "special" CM Labs amp and pre-amp bought used circa 1978. | |
| Favorite guitar players not named...... Lots of good ones above, not mentioned as far as I can see are Tony Rice and Doc Watson. | |

| Core Audio Designs ...... I'd love one but.... given the choice of putting $3-4K into a stand or staying w my Salamander and putting it into equipment, the stand loses. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? bdp- Pat played a little geetar ;-) but mostly mandolin, and a did a lot of backing vocals. Again, what was remarkable about him (and the two other backing musicians), was their ability to add to the experience of the song w/o sticking out. With... | |
| Need Help From The Resident Experts What's your budget? | |
| Need Help From The Resident Experts +1 almarg (sort of redundant). No question that the problem is too much gain. FWIW, I've used a pair of 10 dB Rothwell attenuators successfully in the past. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? My wife and I saw John Prine (& co.) Saturday night at the Warner Theater in Torrington, CT Saturday night. A great show from one of the greatest songwriters and performers out there. His voice has changed as a result of his cancer treatment... | |
| Steinmusic SP 1.1s for my Wavac MD 300 Normie- The nominal impedance of 8 ohms is OK but the minimum of 3.2 is not ideal for a tube amp. Could not find an impedance w frequency graph to see how severe the curve is or what frequency the minimum is at, or if the published sensitivity is ... | |
| Steinmusic SP 1.1s for my Wavac MD 300 That much power would work just fine, IMO, unless you have a huge room or want to reproduce concert level sound. | |
| Steinmusic SP 1.1s for my Wavac MD 300 unless your room is small or your music has limited dynamic range, I think you will find that you will begin to hear an increase in distortion at higher volumes. SET amps begin to produce significant amounts of distortion as they go up in power ou... |
