| What I'm Listening to Right now in DSD, Huge difference. I even get a small difference between FLAC & WAV. But once you go DSD you will never see hifi music the same. System dependant of course. Good Luck TD Oh and there is DSD 128 and above. By my psaudio DS Direct only a... | |
| Power Tube Matching ahhh...thank you. | |
| Power Tube Matching @clio09 Ok, so Im looking at the Ram EL34's. Tell me about these. Were they made by RAM, or just selected and tested by RAM? if the latter.....where did they come from? I am intrigued. Are these NOS (from when) or current production (from where... | |
| Power Tube Matching I will check it thanks | |
| What I'm Listening to Right now in DSD, Yes.... | |
| Pass Labs 1st Watt Rundown @audphile1 Do you have experience with the AX25? can you compare it to the XA30? In my mind, If I decided to leave tubes I would first try Pass and these two seem to be where I would start. Thanks | |
| Klipsch speaker placement I couldn’t be happier with my Heresy IV’s....unless someone offered me some la Scalas. Looking at those Altec's, you ARE looking at La Scalas I assume. | |
| Power Tube Matching @oddiofyl Hey the milliamp tester looks like a good thing to have. I see one on reverb for $100 new. I'd like to find a used one for $50 or $60. I will look. Thanks. I'm go to send you an IM. | |
| Can anyone explain what a power tube does inside an amplifier, eg kt88. I have often wondered this. The tube makes a larger copy of a signal, yes. But how? I imagine they are called valves because they act as gates, only opening to release the larger copy when it is large enough based on specs. Again, how? How doe... | |
| Klipsch speaker placement Mine are 4ft off the wall and raised 7.5 inches. I have a sub, but very low. | |
| Power Tube Matching Thank you @clio09 for clearifying, Im no engineer. What tube shop do you run? Also, not that Im going to try it, but what would happen using mismatched power tubes? Would there be SQ issues? amp damage? And what type of damage? Thanks | |
| Power Tube Matching @oddiofyl So, when i order tubes, say KT77's for my midmonos, I should seek tubes where the top number is a 53? T | |
| Power Tube Matching @clio09 Thanks, From that article, it looks like he is saying that the top, 2 digit, number on a tube box will be between 32 to 42. Well, I know Ive seen tubes as low as 14 and as high as 34, so.....maybe even 44. It is quite mysterious. Were ... | |
| Power Tube Matching @oddiofyl Thank you. But, I and still curious. "Looking at a pair of EL84 and the current draw is hand written on each box. 24.1 and 24.0. That’s how tightly matched they should be." In this example, how far off could they be and still be consi... | |
| WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD? @kota1 I wasnt calling you Nepoleon.😂 |
