| Are medium power push pull tube amplifiers more articulate than high powered units? We've been led to believe for years that home audio systems need a lot of power to allow enough sonic headroom to sound their best, and certainly low efficiency speakers often need ultimately more juice to get moving. Or your 15,000 square foot ma... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Wait…you're talking about the fuse, right? | |
| Underspent on speakers relative to overall system? Let your hearing be your guide as anything else is kind of silly, especially in audio, and certainly in the "previously owned" market where patience is rewarded. | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers Remember the KLH system that came in its own suitcase? I miss that. | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers And note that Levinson's marriage was destroyed when he tried to get more Class A output from Kim Cattrall. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Wait a minute…can you replace your fuses with tennis racquets? On a positive note I do like Sherwin Williams paint though…good stuff. My contention has always been that in spite of "special" "directional" fuses supposedly helping technology march... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! I'm still tense from being told to relax. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Almarg...thanks for the research. I will now direct all of my patent queries to you! Also note that Uncle Ted didn't notice your post or simply couldn't respond to the patent issue about which nobody seems to care (lying is seemingly OK these days... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... The fuse marketing expertise of Ted Denny et al is brilliant. Get a product out there that is very cheap to manufacture in China (and save some bucks by not testing the things for accurate ratings), sell it for 50 times what other competent fuses ... | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers I refuse to comment on threads where the OP hasn't proof read the title of the post. Wait…I just commented…darn it... | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers Electron Kinetics…had one for a while, sounded great, but the Iverson stories sounded better. I'm also sad about Saab…I had one of the first 5 series with an asymmetrically powered turbo and loved it. It also was the first car I owned with a cente... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! At least in my experience of 14 decades of audio stuff (I knew Marconi), a preamp sending DC to a power amp is so rare as to be statistically insignificant. Kevin Deal is one of the few passionately entertaining audio dealers I can think of, and i... | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification Note that generally hibernation starts much later in the year as winter approaches, allowing for the appropriate amount of body fat storage. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Anybody able to locate the above mentioned "UEF Tech" patent? I'd be interested in whatever the heck THAT says. | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification Dennis Had Inspire Fire Bottle HO (High Output) SEP (single ended pentode)…a bit hard to find (Ebay for new ones) but utterly worth it…bought a lightly used one some months ago and it's sort of astonishingly good, and for a point to point wired li... |
