| Difference between Siemens CCa & 7308 Cozva- If you really are using the pre-amp 10 hrs each day, that's 3650 hrs/yr, or 18,250 over 5 years. Most high quality pre-amp small signal tubes are rated for 10,000 hours but of course many run longer and many burn out more rapidly. If the am... | |
| New analog system disappoints, please help One of the impt points here is whether the high setting on your phono stage is high gain or for a high output cart. The Spirit is a low output cart and even if there is "enough" gain, you can still have loading issues. In many phono stages, the de... | |
| Tube amp - which speaker tap to use? AFAIK, you cannot hurt anything and should go with the best sound. | |
| Vandersteen 2CE Sigs tweeter too high Good news Rosedanny; I was going to suggest raising your ears !!! | |
| Smallest room dimensions for good bass to 20hz If you are going to the expense of building a dedicated room, why not get an acoustical consultant like Rives in to help you out? | |

| Ugliest Speakers??? Marco- You win. I was going to say Wilson Alexandrias or B&W Nautilus in the Tiger's Eye finish. On second thought, maybe Marco's should be nominated for funniest. Not funniest looking, just funniest. | |
| Putting 2 speakers on 1 channel, issues? Paralleling the two speakers will, I believe, half the impedence, so the amp will be seeing 3 ohms nominal and dips could bring it much lower. Look at the impedence curves, but this might put a real strain on the amp. | |
| Fujitsu Plasma Screens Any thoughts? Hey Dave- Do you have any thoughts on getting to a "hidden" service menu on my 3 y.o. 42" Fujitsu. My calibration tech says that I have both white and black crush issues. He was able to get a really good calibration only if he used a $1500 Lumigen... | |
| Gain and Loading I would minimize the gain consistent with a full robust sound, making sure that your pre-amp can work within the range of attenuation that is comfortable with your ears and provide fine enough volume adjustment. With a 2.5 mV output you should not... | |
| Fujitsu Plasma Screens Any thoughts? I love my 3 y.o. Fujitsu 42" plasma. | |
| Info on CM Labs I think that member Ferrari has/had that amp. He definitely has info on the line, if you are interestsed. I had CM separates in the late 70s and they were among the best at the time. Manufactured in CT. |
