| Low heat alternative to FIRSTWATT J2 ? It’s a simple thing to wire a small quiet fan hidden near a hot amp. Years ago I had amps in a closet space and did just that and it worked…there was a brand called Whisper Fan, now there’s lots of stuff for that. An easy solution that should help... | |
| Replacing AC cable on older amps and pre amps (Non IEC) noromance (really? none?)…anyway, I'm way into inexpensive well made stuff…actually I revel in that sort of thing, and I might actually buy one of those cables if only because they look pretty cool. Also, I've replaced AC cables in old guitar amps... | |
| What 2 channel Amp would you Buy for $6k? I'd buy four more Inspire Fire Bottle amps and hoard them. | |
| Primaluna Integrated with a seperate preamp My comment was inane, and I'm sticking with it. This is an important thing. | |
| RCA Caps How about little Santa hats for the holidays? Substitute tiny yarmulkes or turbans maybe…tiny football helmets or baseball hats! And geoffkait…don’t worry about walking and chewing as you can sit next to your rig (although a greasy iPhone may not ... | |
| How does the sound of a power tube change, over time? lloydc…That's actually a great comment. You know when the tube's time is up when your other tubes sound better. Ears are certainly the best tube tester as long as they're not wooly…if so clean 'em. | |
| How does the sound of a power tube change, over time? Wooly. It's wooly. Anybody that is a "serious" tube freak frequently changes out their tubes for absolutely no reason at all (for example, I put a pair of Sovtek KT88s in my SEP amp to replace a perfectly fine set of Gold Lions because I like the ... | |
| Replacing AC cable on older amps and pre amps (Non IEC) The BLE cable you referred to is far too inexpensive. What were you thinking? Man…. | |
| RCA Caps Another solution is to chew a piece of gum along with shreds of aluminum foil and copper shavings. Once chewed, remove the metal reinforced gum and stick it on the unused RCA plugs. Done! | |
| Primaluna Integrated with a seperate preamp Use an outboard preamp to the Primaluna, and then use outboard power amps instead of the one in the integrated. This approach makes absolutely no sense, but I'm tossing it in anyway to encourage the use of gonzo or actually inane solutions. | |
| Can you recommend a good Pre-Amp for my audio system? The Shiit Freya preamp is inexpensive, balanced, and both tube and SS. An audio hat trick. | |
| Schiit Reference Sytem review: Freya into Yggdrasil, into Vidar OK then…I ordered a Loki. To all my friends on the forums (imagined or otherwise), I’m sorry…I had to try the thing…I’m normally a purist (sort of) firmly in the anti EQ camp, I’ve railed against DSP gizmos, bullied and ridiculed others who don’t ... | |
| Schiit taking orders (as of Dec 23) on Freya preamp I mentioned elsewhere I also wondered about the Loki, and ordered a Freya (these 2 things aren’t related). So there. | |
| Schiit Reference Sytem review: Freya into Yggdrasil, into Vidar Except for the 2 grand or so DAC and an integrated amp, everything these guys (Shiitheads?) make is basically "super cheap." I've been thinking about buying a "Loki" 4 band tone gizmo just to destroy any shred of audio geek credibility I may or ma... | |
| Triode or Ultra-linear? Why? Also, I think tube guitar amp companies should all consider making a little stereo amp…that Mesa Baron was so cool, and if you can buy a USA (Kentucky) hand made tube rectified single ended class A tube (EL84s) amp head like my 18 watt Burris Roya... |
