| Tube rolling suggestions for Unison Unico Hi Arni,I left the Siemens pair in overnight, with the amp on, and listened the next day. So far, they've been very lifeless.Is there something to be set for letting tubes settle in a piece of equipment for extended periods before passing judgement? | |
| Tube rolling suggestions for Unison Unico Hi Glitch,Thanks. I have the Siemens from Upscale Audio, and they're not working out. That was the original problem. When I talked to Kevin, he said either the Mullards or the Radiotechniques would be good, but I don't want to choose randomly, and... | |
| Next on the list for Mahler.... Be careful with Bernstein and the NY Phil. Lenny's interpretation can't quite overcome the sloppy technique and bad intonation. Check out Bernstein's recordings with the Vienna Philharmonic on DG. Symph #5 with Songs of a Wayfarer would be a wonde... | |
| Stupid Bellari Q My 12ax7 phono pre doesn't light up at all. You're ok. | |

| Most Emotional Opera Melodies Woah. When was the compilation of Hilter's speeches made? There's nothing particularly fascist about your collection, don't worry :) | |

| RACHMANINOFF PIANO CONCERTO 2 Van Cliburn and Ashkenazy are the two standards. I like both of those more than Rachmaninoff's own recording (which I have on 78!)This is one of the pieces that I come back to over and over. The haunting melody that reoccurs in all the movements j... | |
| woofers gone wild Hi folks,Just took the amp over to my mastering engineer friend's house, and we spend a long time taking measurements. The DC offset is -3 volts into a 4 ohm load. That can't be good. I'll call the Unison people tomorrow. Thanks for all your help. | |
| woofers gone wild Hi, How do I do that? And what's the pot? Believe me when I say I'm a -complete- idiot when it comes to the basic technical workings of my audio system :)Thanks again. | |
| woofers gone wild Thanks Shadorne, I'll do that. | |
| woofers gone wild Thanks for the continued help. There are no dealers or technicians in the area, but I do have a friend who's an excellent mastering engineer and quite good with electronics. Is this something anyone decently versed in electronic repair can fix, or... | |
| woofers gone wild On closer examination it's more like a few millimeters. Still more than I'm used to. What adjustments might need to be done, and how can I do them?Thanks. |
