| Rogue Zues with Vandersteen 5A's at 2004 HE Show Zippyy- I used a pair of McCormack DNA 0.5 Rev A+ (soft recovery diode). I only used them vertically bi-amped, since the designer strongly recommended it. IMO, the primary benefit for vertical bi-amping is increased channel separation, imaging, so... | |
| How to connect Stax adapter srd-7 to amplifier Usually these are labelled on the back of the adapter. To the best of my recollection, green and white form one channel pair, and red and black the other pair. Red is probably hot (+). | |
| Where do I go from Eva Cassidy? Marco- I'm not a Nick Drake fan, but she only tolerated my Warren Zevon tribute for a few weeks, before he joined the "dead people" list. Then there's Janis and Jimmy and Stan Rogers, and on and on. I have to admit it was pretty funny the first ti... | |
| Rogue Zues with Vandersteen 5A's at 2004 HE Show Zippyy- themadmilkman is correct that RV recommends vertical bi-amping. I have absolutely no electrical engineering knowledge, but I can say that I used a vertical bi-amp system with Vandy 3Asigs with great success for several years. Many others a... | |
| Where do I go from Eva Cassidy? A word of warning, live singers have higher WAF. Whenever I put on Eva Cassady or Kate Wolf mine moans and says "I hear dead people"!! | |
| Rogue Zues with Vandersteen 5A's at 2004 HE Show Actually, all Vandys that I am aware of, are all capable and recommended for bi-wiring/bi-amping. The subs are a separate time, and the "bass" amp in the 5As drives the subs only, not the woofers. Based on RVs typical recommendations, I imagine th... | |
| Can I suspend / hang speakers? Non-rigid mount would be a bad idea, since the speakers would move in the opposite direction as the cones, according to Sir Issac Newton's First Law of Thermodynamics (at least I think it #1)- for each action there is an equal and opposite reactio... | |
| Y vs V vs upside down L If you are using jumpers then you are not bi-wiring. Jumpers are for using mono-wire speaker cables for speakers that have separate posts for the woof and the mid/tweets. | |
| Freaked out about having a TT shipped I will add two thoughts to the discussion. I had an EMC-1UP severly damaged by UPS. They must have dropped it from a great height on its front; it actually bent the 3/16" packing bolt!!! I also had a SOTA arrive single boxed, unscathed, even after... | |
| Trelja- announcement and disclaimer Hi Joe- Congrats and good luck!!! The manufacturers you mentioned are a great asset here and we are all the better for their contributions. Please keep your thoughts and ideas coming. | |
| RIP Ray Charles I'll sign that petition. Also how about having a state funeral for Ray, instead of Ronald "Rayguns"? | |
| Newbie Tube Questions Foxtrot- You will need a multimeter and some directions for setting the bias current. I imagine that you will hear some improvement from using better tubes, but I would not recommend that you go wild with new Teles, unless you have $$ to burn. The... | |
| TWL's Hi Fi Mod & Doug's VTF tweak I bought the mod from Tom but have not yet installed it on my arm because the concave surface of the weights is not that good a match to the convex bearing surface caps. With superglue, you need a pretty good tight fit. Do I take it from Joe's pos... | |

| To Hot to Handle? If you need 75 tube watts, Berning zh270 is relatively cool running. Relatively being the operative word. I would not want to have it in my house in CT w/o air on those really hot/humid July days. Otherwise, not too bad. |
