| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Roger,I recall you saying at Burning Amp a year ago that you did not like 6SN7 tubes in preamps. I have a preamp that uses these tubes and it is the best I have ever heard in my system. What is the problem with these tubes from a designer's stan... | |
| Carver Crimson 275 tube amp Ozzy,I am really keen to see how it sounds, after being away from tube amps for many years. My Spatial Audio speakers have a 12 ohm impedance which clearly mates well with tube amps. Thanks for the response. | |
| don sach's custom kt88 tube amp Wig, Lucky you... I am 50% of the way there. :-) | |
| Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated Jaynmo,The M4 Turbo S speakers which I first had had an impedance of 4 ohms, which of course was a poor match for my flea-watt Dennis Had amp. However, with the M4 Triode Masters, Clayton has modified the speaker to present a 12 ohm load, much mo... | |
| Spatial Audio Hologram M4 Turbo S Speakers - A Review Mktracy,There are lots of blog reviews of the Spatial Audio speakers to inform you owners' impressions of them. Your amp and preamp are, in my view, simply stellar and a fine match for the speakers. If you room can accommodate them, the M3TM are... | |
| Spatial Audio Hologram M4 Turbo S Speakers - A Review rjhd and mktracy,Here is the latest from an M4TM owner who upgraded from the Turbo S speakers. I haven't held on to a pair of speakers for over a year for many years, but I have had the Spatial Audio speakers now for 2+ years and I fancy them mor... | |
| Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated Like most tube amps, higher impedance speakers are better matched to Don's amp. If your speakers dip below, let's say, 4 ohms, then I think it would not be the best match. With my 12 ohm Spatial Audio speakers, the bass is reproduced extremely we... | |
| Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated Frank,Thank you for the information. I am not sure that I need to check my "neighbor's tubes", but that is an intriguing idea. It is evident that the amp runs in such a fashion to ensure long life to its tubes, which is are major factor in my d... | |
| don sach's custom kt88 tube amp I have Don's preamp and got a chance to compare his KT88 tube amp to my McCormack DNA .05 (Platinum Version) amp last week in an extensive listening session with my Spatial Audio M4 Triode Master open baffle speakers. Personally, I hasten to say ... | |
| Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated Liz,I have pretty much abandoned tube amps for the obvious reasons, but am enthralled with with Don Sachs' 6SN7-based tube preamp... I think a lot of the magic of tube sound is captured in a preamp. I went through a lot of KT88's, etc. with earli... | |
| Treated my interconnects with Deoxit D5 today Stabilant 22 appears to the equivalent to Tweek. It is about $60 for a vial of it which should last for years and years. Check out their website as users of it speak in glowing praise of it, including lots of technicians. I am just happy that m... | |
| Treated my interconnects with Deoxit D5 today Ptss,I just pulled out my tube of Stabilant and see that I have a 5 ml bottle of the "stuff" and another bigger bottle of what smells like alcohol. Am I to put the contents of the smaller bottle into the bigger bottle and then use that? Previous... | |
| recommendation for speaker wire to soften the highs if possible I agree that Dueland cable might tame the harshness you are hearing. I don't see a preamp in your system, and if you are on a tight budget, I would heartily advocate hearing a Schiit Freya preamp with the tubes upgraded to Shaguan 6SN7 tubes and... | |
| Specific question choosing Duelund vs Mogami for affordable interconnect I agree with Grannyring. I have a couple sets of Dueland/Switchcraft IC's and while they aren't the equal of either my Cerious Technology Graphene Express or Triode Wire IC's, they are quite close... at a fraction of the cost of the latter IC's. ... | |
| Treated my interconnects with Deoxit D5 today Uber,Thanks, friend, for the comment. Maybe I put on the Deoxit a tad to thick, but it has now settled down to its former wonderful sound. I am hearing sweet wonderful music again! No good deed goes unpunished, in my case. |
