| SummerTime and Amp Heat By "a matter of degree" I meant (along with a lame pun) the degree to which you're using the amp...running into a 4 ohm load to get 115db peaks for 5 hours might cause more heat than a day of light background music. I have a later MOSFET Forte' A/... | |
| Do you ever doubt you ears ? I notice when something is wrong...a pair of new supposedly decent balanced cables recently sounded SO bad I refused to wait for whatever the break-in period was, and replaced 'em forthwith. Also a weird thing I bet most of us experience is when y... | |

| Kavent S33 owners...are you out there? Funny? My posts are all DEAD SERIOUS! I did see the archived post...it was part of what led me to buy the S33. Interestingly (or not) some Canadian dude who had posted pics of the S33 later posted something about Kelsie Audio going out of biz...wh... | |
| Entry level recommendations??? I also own a Cambridge 640P...bought for about $179 new (fairly recently) as I wanted/needed that rumble filter (not readily available in most phono preamps). I did an experiment yesterday where I A/B/Cd it with some other sources...CD player and ... | |
| Stupid question If you hook up speakers backwards and play certain frequencies at high enought levels, it can trigger a rip in the "time continuim" of our current dimension of reality and end all life as we know it. I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing... | |
| Stupid question Don't do it. It can mess up your life. | |
| Manual vs. Auto Bias I thought "fixed bias" meant you could NOT adjust the bias...no pot available in the design for that. I think most tube amps allow for bias adjustment, and auto bias merely does it for you on the fly...and that's good. | |
| LP care Nature DOES abhor a vacuum...look it up. When I manually spin my LPs in the Spin Clean, it strenghtens my forearms thus allowing me to skip that day's trip to the gym. Also, I drink the used water as I assume it imparts some musical information in... | |
| Manual vs. Auto Bias Tube auto bias circuits are SO cool...I wish they had 'em in guitar amps. They get rid of an issue I've always had with high end tube amps. | |
| LP care That vacuum thing is like the din of armageddon...like a thousand thunderclaps in your hat...Niagra Falls next to your lounge chair...Joan Rivers living in your eustachian tube...my ex wife in the passenger seat... | |
| LP care The Spin Clean is hand operated and costs about $75. Fluid, the tight brushes, and elbow grease get 'er done. Also the act of drying the LPs pulls a lot of loosened stuff outta the groove...remember: Nature Abhors a Vacuum. | |
| Distance from the front not the rear wall? The obvious solution to the dilemma of "room treatment" is to buy a good set of headphones. | |
| Distance from the front not the rear wall? BE FREE FELLOW FREQUENCY FREAKS: It's personal...My speakers are on either side of a "fake" fireplace about a foot and a half from the back wall and 6 inches from the "fireplace" walls..with a powered sub stuck in behind the left speaker. The swee... | |
| LP care Well before I bought a Spin Clean I was visiting a friend who was cleaning LPs with a popular vacuum device...it sounded like a jet taking off next to my head and seemed like a messy pain in the butt. I wasn't listening to my LPs much back then (n... |
