| Recommendations on stuff to look at for upgrading a 300B SET amp http://www.ankaudiokits.com/Interstage-300B-Power-Tube-Amplifier.html | |
| Mint LP provides Stevenson Alignment I mean, like @flatblackround, I use a level and ensure P2S and overhang are correct per arm manufacturer. VTA is set by eye and then by listening. VTF by ear at lower end of manufacturer's spec. Azimuth by eye using a straw 90° headshell. Maybe it... | |
| Tube amp buzz (amp, not speakers) Have you checked to see if there are sources of noise like a worn refrigerator compressor motor or dimmers coincident with the buzzing? What about trying a direct run to the house breaker panel? | |
| Seek non-ported speakers - $700 to $1500 To stop the port-itis in my room! +1 millercarbon. GIK is what you need. Do not use acoustic foam. | |
| Mint LP provides Stevenson Alignment I run a London/Decca with a paratrace stylus. Fussy enough you might imagine. However, I set it by eye and have never used a protractor or loupe because it sounds fine. I don’t mean fine as in acceptable, I mean fine as in soaring female vocals, s... | |
| Tube amp buzz (amp, not speakers) Run with the cover off and when buzz starts, touch various parts of the transformer and chassis and see if you can identify what is vibrating. Once you locate that, you can address it. | |
| i am starting to think Audiogon profits off the spam... Really? @elizabeth I have to try that....EDIT.. I guess I'm good. No spam check. | |
| Spam threads gone wild... I googled the phone # in a majority of the post headers. Results show that this spam is on scores of forums. #deathpenaltyforspammersIf Agon just blocked the text string "9145958860", 80% of this would be blocked. | |
| i am starting to think Audiogon profits off the spam... Doubt it. The garbage nature of the posts in question indicate there is no anti-spam solution in place. Makes me wonder if our info on the sales site is safe from hackers if this is anything to go by. | |
| Spam threads gone wild... And it’s starting again... looks like nothing has been done. I would be fired. | |
| Tube Sound Question Um...good question. I've had a lot of tube power amps. When I went from a sand power amp to a glass one, it was a never-go-back improvement. It's difficult to quantify given the variables. In other words a good set of tubes in either pre or power ... | |
| Impressing friends with your rig Geoff's afraid he'll be called out on all the weird tweaks. ;-)Uber, there was a time I had that paranoia but it's been on song recently. This is the second or third time anyone's ever listened apart from herself. | |
| Tube Sound Question I added a tube phono preamp to a solid srare power amp once and it opened up the sound in that holographic way that tubes can impart. So yeah, you could say a tube preamp can give the tubier sound in a pre-power pair. I'm all tubes now so not a co... | |
| Speaker vibration control device How about spiking the speakers to 35 pound 16"x16"x2" patio slabs? You could add a piece of carpet on the slab to protect the kids' heads. | |
| Spam threads gone wild... Yes, it is a free site and we very much appreciate that. I think the issue folks may have is that freeloading scum are violating trust and exploiting it for their gain and we want to see them shut down and not merely tolerated. |
