| Volume Control for second set of speakers Those "lil piggies" would work perfectly with the Niles attenuator, or whatever that thing is. I may have to get some of those. | |
| Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular I've used KT120s and like them...had a quad last for 2 years or so in another amp, and have a pair for this amp. Great tube, doesn't sound as good as the GL KT77s or the 7581s in this particular amp. | |
| Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER? New Heresy IIIs, with a well sorted ancillaries, can sound tremendous...mine certainly do, and, of course, need subs (I use 2 RELs) for full range results...coherent, immediate, clear, and they seem to have an oft mentioned "live" sound (whatever ... | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? I bet the on/off switch is easily fixed. | |
| Volume Control for second set of speakers Used a Niles speaker attenuator for deck speakers for years...works beautifully with little noticeable effect on tone...plus...deck speakers for outdoor use...who cares? | |
| Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular I meant 7581As in my last post, lest anyone be reading this stuff. The Gold Lion KT77s really are a great tube and until now have been my reference (meaning I left them in my amp as they sounded better than other options) for a year or so...beauti... | |
| Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular The new 5581As arrived and they sound pretty damn good already. Giving the 77s some competition around here. Nice friggin' tube....the sound seems slightly Spanish with a hint of "Jet Age" Old European potato farmer. They imply but don't overstate... | |
| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? I've heard a few Rogers amps here and there and they seem to sound great...I know somebody who owns one (EHF200) and loves it. A Lifetime transferrable warranty on everything they sell (beat that!), hand built with point to point wiring, great rev... | |
| Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular New KT77s at VIVA are 287 bucks for an octet...matched, free shipping, 90 day guarantee return policy, and that’s where my recent pair came from. | |
| Adding a Sub do i go with 1 or 2 ? I use 2 RELs on the same (mono) power amp derived signal as that seems to allow for the standing wave/null issues to be addressed to some degree, although one sub can work fine when properly set up in spite of claims otherwise. A stereo sub arrang... | |
| What are the weak points of Pass amps and pre-amps ? I'm with Jetter as someone hooked on tubes who wishes people would stop raving about the XA25...please stop...I don't want to get rid of my single ended tube amp...but the existence of the XA25 is taunting me...I'd appreciate it if somebody would ... | |
| Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular Gold Lion KT77s are fabulous tubes. I'll have a pair of 7581As in a day or two (coming from Viva/Only Glass in Easthampton MA about an hour from my house) and will pop them into my little Dennis Had SE amp (only takes 2 power tubes) to see if they... | |
| VIENNA ACOUSTICS- DIE MUSIC I just read the instructions for the "Sumiko Master Set" and they're ridiculous, except for the fact that you need sound to set up speakers which you then should listen to to see if they're providing what you want to hear. That's it. Yeah, you mov... | |
| Mini-Rant: Human Fingers Note that heavy speaker cables can put some stress on bananas, and nobody needs a stressed banana. | |
| VIENNA ACOUSTICS- DIE MUSIC Do people really not know how to set up speakers without assistance? No clue about speaker placement using your EARS, and endless diagrams and suggestions available online for those lacking the "experiment" gene? Amazing. |
