| 12AU7 for DeHavilland 50A Amplifier Thanks, Tom. I realize they are not a significant investment but thought I would float the idea to see if I was headed in the right direction. BTW, I have it on good authority that you are indeed in the know (I read this somewhere on the interne... | |
| How to add a Subwoofer to 2 channel stereo setup? Wolf -Do you need to place your single channel summing REL subwoofer directly in-between your speakers, or can you place it to the side of one of the speakers and still have normal imaging? I'm thinking of adding one subwoofer and it would need t... | |

| Proac response One SC or Proac response D15?? Bob -Have you heard the new D series with the ribbon tweeters? I believe Proac has changed the other drivers as well. I do remember, however, hearing a 3.8 driven by a Jadis Da50 integrated amp in the Jadis room at a Stereophile show (must have ... | |
| Questions on KT150 tubes Could any of you KT150 aficionados comment on the break in period for these tubes? I bought a quad to replace the KT88's (Gold Lion reissues) in my DeHavilland 50A mono blocks (after the OK from Kara Chafee) and have maybe 60 hours on them. They... | |
| Clayton Audio - Alive and very well Audiobrian-Did you hear his lower powered offerings, the S40 and S100? If one has efficient speakers, a moderate sized room, and does not listen at high volume levels, would, say, a S40 deliver at the same performance level as your S2000?? | |
| Clayton Audio - Alive and very well Audiobrian - Do you know if Wilson adjusted his pricing when he started selling direct? The S100 stereo amp was listed at $8500 in a 2014 review, his amps being sold through a dealer at that point. Was your S2000 priced less than before he elimina... | |
| Slow adaptation of KT150 by amp mmanufacturers Jgottget - How would you compare these against the Silver 88s which also could use the KT150 tube? I know the Silver 88 is no longer being produced, however I'm sure there are still some dealer demos out there to be had... | |
| BEL 1001 service in 2013? Mesch - In a case of apparent wishful thinking I mistakenly stated that mine is a Mark 2 when it is in fact a Mark 1. It was made in 1985, and around 1990 one channel went out so I sent it to Richard Brown for repair. Since then (25 years) I have ... | |
| BEL 1001 service in 2013? Back to the OP's question - anyone with any idea as to who can service these amps? I also have a 1001 MK2 which is 30 years old and has never been recapped or "retuned". I know of some 'Gon recommended local service techs, would they be appropriat... | |
| KT 150 Amp Options Tutbegroover - Please keep us updated on your listening impressions as you further evaluate the KT150 Silver 88s. Thanks!! | |
| KT 150 Amp Options Thanks for your reply, Tubegroover. Please do give us your impressions after your upcoming audition with your speakers (even though I know you don't normally do impressions ). | |
| KT 150 Amp Options Thanks, Charles I'm considering the KT150 Silver 88 Monos as I don't really need the extra power of the V4, and the simpler circuit (two output tubes per channel vs. four) would seem to potentially allow for a more "direct" sound. Have you (or an... | |
| KT 150 Amp Options Charles1dad, what has been your experience with Quicksilver which would lead you to agree with Tubegroover's assessment? Thanks... | |
| Getting phantom image perfectly centered BMWMCAB - Are you sure toeing IN the left speaker and toeing OUT the right speaker, if the image is leaning left, is correct? Would that not cause the sound from the left speaker to arrive "first" and shift the image even more to the left?Or maybe... |
