| TV Recommendations Nik- I would recommend that you go for an HD model, if you don't, in a few years you will need a set top box cause all of the TV will be digital. HD RPTVs other than LCD and DLP should come in right about at your budget. Last time I looked, I saw ... | |
| Headphone tube amplifiers and OTL Well I guess I stand corrected. Not sure I understand the diff btween zero- hysterisis and otl, but it sure sounds fine. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I rotated the input thru every choice, Bwhite. The only sound I get sounds like "cross talk". Faint but clear presentation of CD, no matter what input I select. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thank you everyone. My Syrah does not have a gain attenuator or an RCA/XLR switch. I am in contact with Mick, but so far no cigar. He had me check a dc voltage near the 6L6s which is supposed to be 300v, mine shows 0.16!!! I will double check the ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Anyone? | |
| Compatibility of 8 ohm amp with 4 ohm speakers? Unsound is correct, at least as far as I am concerned. | |
| Headphone tube amplifiers and OTL Also consider the Berning micro-zotl which is an OTL/tube design that can also function as a one source integrated driving small monitors or other high eff. speakers. I use mine w/HD-600s and also to run some Sequerra monitors and it is very nice. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Thanks guys, but this unit does NOT have a tape monitor loop. A second set of main outs and an additional input, instead. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Supratek specialists- help needed. My Syrah appears to have s#$t the bed. EMC-1 cdp and H270 amp works just fine when I run direct input, but get almost no output when I go from the CDP to the Syrah! Just a faint signal at the speakers which does ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century OK I have a question for you tube mavens. I have some JAN Tung-sol 6L6WGBs (GT Shape) and some Sylvania 6L6s (ST shape). The Tung-sols have only 6 pins and the have 7. Both do NOT have a pin 3rd position counterclockwise from the key. All of the r... | |
| Compatibility of 8 ohm amp with 4 ohm speakers? Just because its power rating was given at 8 ohms does not mean that it cannot push a 4 ohm load. Of bigger concern is that the speakers may be 4 ohm nominal, but may dip down lower at some frequencies. Many planar speakers do drop down to 2 ohms ... | |
| Repair a warped record? Supposedly, the technique is to press the record between two impeccably clean sheets of glass (weighted, I guess) and then heat it gradually in the oven and cool gradually. I do not know the heat but would guess I would start @ 200 and see if it w... | |
| Not a ground loop hum??? not meaning to hijack this thread, but I have another question about hum. When I touch the volume dial on my pre, I get a pretty significant hum, but its not there when I am not touching it. Any ideas? | |
| Norah Jones CD NOT copy protected - Media Player OK, I am confused. You say"On some windows xp PC's you might have to disable autorun to prevent then Bandlink software from launching. After I did this (in the registry - don't go there) the CD booted up fine and I was able to play it. I was even ... | |
| 12au7 tube question? The European equiv.s are ECC82, ECC802s, CV4003. Go to Joe's Tube Lore at AudioAsylum for a detailed evaluation of 12AU7s. In my system, I liked Amperex Holland Heerlen labelled Dumonts best. |
