| Krell preamp / Parasound amp power up issue Ah...the "brown out" syndrome when a high current amp fires up (after everything else is on for a minute) there's a little spike, although I've found with better amps it's not audible in the speakers generally. I doubt it's a grounding issue and I... | |
| Driver/Input tubes What point about phase inversion? I do understand the concept of the signal level boosting my preamp does, but wondered why 2 similar tube pairs, 12AX7 and the lower gain 12AT7 are utilized in the power amp...I think I did read someplace about sig... | |
| Tube mixing Hey...I'm not planning to try this as I assumed there would be good reasons not to but somebody had to ask (actually nobody HAD to ask), and now I know and I feel I've learned something. By the way...I'm sure some near sighted tube head has accide... | |
| Tube mixing I'm talking about one of each in each channel...I think somebody has to ask these questions. No question that 2 matched pairs of different tubes in each side is no biggie and results in what you described, but what I'm proposing is much weirder, a... | |
| Absorb or Diffuse in between speakers? I also have a fireplace (fake) with a glass front between my speakers (Silverline Preludes). The speakers are about 8 inches further into the room than the (still fake) fireplace, and 7 or so inches from the edge of the aforementioned (fake) firep... | |
| Cable with Neutrik Speakon connector Neutrik Speakon plugs are very cool...been using them on pro gear for years. I did find an angled Speakon plug that is great for my REL (less stress on everything) and I had fun making the cables...much less expensive that way...shrink wrap tubes ... | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? So if I can get him he needs ventilation...I can do that...no biggie. | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? Are large corporations making my speakers now? Swine! | |
| warm digital cable Actually, I don't roll. Too many edges. | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? Just a note on a related topic: I would like to purchase Mark Levinson himself as I'm looking for a bass player. Or at least rent him, as long as his chops are up, he plays cleanly and powerfully, and doesn't overheat. | |
| Explain Class D amps to "non audiophile friends" STOP THE PRESSES: News flash...To the astonishment of the audio geek community it would appear that some Class D amps sound great, and others less so. Details to follow. | |
| Do I need to replace all my tubes at the same time I think tubes should always be replaced at exactly 3:02 PM. So the answer is yes. | |
| warm digital cable Audiofreak is NOT entitled to his opinion unless it agrees with mine. That's just how I roll. | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? Mrmitch...I did not think you were knocking my age group, I just used your comments as an opportunity to rant, and for that I thank you. Measurements for speaker design are important to see where a design is headed, but ANY speaker designer has to... | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? Many things common to small towns like lack of sophistication, racism, wife swapping, smallness, extreme smallness, lack of hipsters, a lack of "pretentious audio salons", lack of decent porn, are in my book (or pamphlet) obscene. So are Yamaha ns... |
