| KT120 transformer failures There's just nothing wrong with robust filament winding. I'm all for it. | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow If I sell everything and get Q7s, it would be just me in a cardboard box under the freeway with my Q7s. Also, regarding the speaker sensitivity issue, there has to be somebody out there who plans to drive Q7s with a hyper expensive "custom made by... | |
| KT120 transformer failures Luckily there seem to be NO transformer issues with the 502P. Not yet anyway, and I assume if it was gonna die it would show some signs of impending failure. My trusty warranty is there just in case. The CJ "SE" is on a price level that begs compa... | |
| KT120 transformer failures Pretty much every KT120 sales spec/note/description including the "official" one from New Sensor has that "tube heater current filament supply or" warning. I stand warned. Audio Research along with a bunch of other amp builders have modified their... | |
| KT120 transformer failures I guess the answer is no. | |
| Jolida 502 KT120 tube swapping Other than the "upgrades" they did on the amp before shipping there are no mods...I just dropped the 120s in and I bias them to the 502P specs and check it with my trusty Radio Shack meter just for the hell of it (a compulsion, but I'm getting bet... | |
| High quality subwoofer - which one? I have also had success with a single REL (older Q150e). It really loads my room up nicely and has lots of adjustment/tuning options. At this point I would never NOT have one. | |
| Help with new system Get a factory (MD) modded Jolida...inexpensive and sound amazing. | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow So it looks like the Q7 will be perfect in my medium size listening room driven by my 60 watt Jolida tube amp. What a relief... | |
| Jolida 502 KT120 tube swapping SO...I put the KT120s in the 502P..and they work swimmingly. It is a LARGE tube in every way. Just more of everything...power (hard to say how much, but it's there), better, sweeter treble...more overall tonal range across the board. They do run h... | |
| Pass Labs INT-150 with Power Plant Premier My wall power sucks...and it's a modern house. I need to see how much it would cost to get dedicated lines. Does Pass assume the wall power is always good? Regenerators seem like a good idea but they are SO damn expensive...I'm using a PS Audio po... | |
| two 10's or one larger subwoofer? The output differs among various REL models so it's hard to say if you need 2 of them. Some insist on 2 subs, but I think I'd overload my room if I had 2 of the 150s as I barely use 30% of the gain anyway...I lucked out in placement though as the ... | |
| Subwoofer with Thiel 2.4s? Anyone aware of the "charge the room" theory of subs? Although it might seem like another example of "audio mysticism", it appears to be real. Listen to music that has seemingly no bass with and without a (well designed, like a REL) sub. Without i... | |
| Powered subwoofers running into power amp? It's hard to imagine he found a mixer that doesn't have balanced (either XLR or tip/ring/sleeve) outs...but I will conceed it's possible, amigo. That said, if he's that unsophisticated I doubt he understands any convoluted explanation regarding ca... | |
| two 10's or one larger subwoofer? My trusty 10" driver REL Q150E sounds amazing (with Silverline Prelude mains) from a 1 foot sealed square box, verifying that they (REL) know what they're doing. I mean really...I also have couple of pro bass rigs with various cabinets: An Eden 15... |
