| Fun, small footprint, floor standers As an aside, it's interesting to me that the regular Prelude is unique in the Silverline speaker lineup...the 3.75" metal woofers don't show up in anything else they make, the metal tweeter with its screen and rubber deflection pad thing doesn't e... | |
| How do I break in a tube amplifier? Preamp outs would be better if available. | |
| How do I break in a tube amplifier? Tape outs generally bypass the volume pot of a receiver, although I'm not sure about the rest of the circuitry like tone controls and all that...they're designed that way due to the fact that tape decks have input faders that should be impervious ... | |
| How do I break in a tube amplifier? Take the tape outs...cleaner. | |
| How do I break in a tube amplifier? I do think it's important to turn it on before listening to it, although leaving it off all the time does make the tubes last longer. | |
| How do I break in a tube amplifier? Did Audio Research tell you where you should wait? Can you pace around or should you just sit there? Leaving a new tube amp on for one hundred hours continuously is fine if you're going to sit next to it...this should be easy if you have 2 kids as... | |
| How do I break in a tube amplifier? Note that it's OK to leave it unattended when it's not on. Waiting 3 hours to turn it on after turning it off is silly. Tube amps, if designed and built properly, are tough little buggers and don't need nearly as much pampering as many think. My e... | |

| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D El tubo even order harmonico bueno, solido stato odd order mundo problemico. | |
| Ever Used the Audioquest King Cobra? I've been using AQ XLR Diamondbacks in my system for a few years (DAC to preamp, preamp to tube amp) and they're amazing...sonically transparant and VERY well made, and the Cobras should be even better. I use an RCA King Cobra pair out of my phono... | |
| LP Record Cleaning Machine - Ultrasonic or Vacuum I use the Spin Clean, and provide the ultrasonic part with my own loud self satisfied humming caused by my joy in not having spent a pile on an expensive cleaning machine. | |
| Jolida 1501RC hybrid integrated vs. Rogue's Sphinx I get the "buy local" thing...interestingly, Jolida's founder Michael Allen started a new factory in China (after his falling out with the lawsuit dudes) to provide his workers with much better working conditions and wages to insure high quality..... | |
| New KT150 tubes? KT 150s are likely to never appear in a guitar amp, unless somebody thinks they need a very clean unusually high powered guitar amp, which most guitar players don't. I don't think anybody makes a KT120 powered guitar amp, although a tube bass amp ... | |
| Jolida 1501RC hybrid integrated vs. Rogue's Sphinx That Rogue Class D with a tube front end seems to be getting some good press...and Rogue is a great US company. For the record, USA Jolida (MD) is doing fine (look up the details of the lawsuit...it's silly), and their recent stuff is very well ma... | |
| What amplifier to get for Vandy 1 C's Yes, and yes. I've owned a factory upgraded Jolida 502P and it's been amazing (year and a half or so). Quiet, very detailed, plenty of tube power...an excellent and accurate very musical amp, has XLR and RCA inputs, 8 or 4 ohm output (all rare at ... |
