| TAD 60 Thanks Gregory. I will contact Bill. | |
| Can't bias tubes on amplifier Haven't tried 6550's although they are approved for the amp. I'm reluctant to put more money into tubes if I am having the bias problem with KT's. | |
| Can't bias tubes on amplifier Thanks for the advice, Newbee and Hifigeek. I have been able to bias KT-88s in the past with this amp at he 500-550 mV settings, but have never been able to bias tubes 1 and 3 at 200 mV to achieve a single ended class A operation as Paul describes... | |
| Audiolab 8200cd and dac I just got the 8200 CD yesterday, listened to CD's last night and hooked up to files on PC-USB today. I am really impressed with the sound and the features, especially the filters. Had been running a MF V-DAC with upgrade power supply but didn't u... | |
| Audiolab 8200 CDQ CD Player I just bought the 8200 CD not the Q. Have it playing right now through Itunes losless and it sounds really good, which surprises me. Had been running a MF V-DAC with an upgraded power supply and quit using it because the sound sucked. The Audiolab... | |
| SS to Pair with Acoustic Zen Adagio I have a pair of Adagios and I run them with a BAT VK-200 and a Cary tube preamp for vinyl. For digital I run the Cary with a TAD 60 tube amp. The Adagios really like tubes for digital. BAT works well with vinyl | |
| Setting tube bias Thanks everyone. I tried the KTs again, one at a time, and it is still a problem. I'm taking the amp in for a check up. | |
| Setting tube bias Bdgregory: You had a TAD 60 and ran KTs. Even when I could bias them at 550 each, when I tried to bias two of them lower to run single ended class A, I couldn't get them to go low enough. I'm thinking there is something going on with the TAD. Thanks. | |
| Setting tube bias Thanks all. It would be strange for all 4 KT-88s to go bad at the same time. If the bias supply in the amp is having problems, wouldn't it be having problems also with the EL-34s. This is strange indeed. I'm gonna try to bias the KTs again and see... | |
| MF V-DAC and power supply Ok, I ordered the v-dac, wireworld usb, and pyramid power supply. V-dac got here first with wireworld so I hooked it up using just the wall wart. Sound was thin, especially using my BAT transistor amp. A little better with the tube amp. So I kept ... | |
| MF V-DAC and power supply Thanks Hotmail. | |
| MF V-DAC and power supply Hotmailjbc:Which Wireworld USB did you get? | |
| MF V-DAC and power supply Thanks Stanwal, I was hoping that was the case. I have read a number of reviews and comparisons and the V-DAC seems to play way above it's weight class. So do I just hook it up and hit play on my computer. Will the V-DAC pick up the highest sample... | |
| Anti Cables Speaker Wire Thanks guys. I checked the wiring and it is correct. Cyclonicman, I'm with you on the break in. Will stay with them for a while to see if the sound opens up. I've heard so much about the anti cables that I want to given them an honest shot. | |
| Anti Cables Speaker Wire Thanks guys: Jeez, it never ends. I'm going to keep alternating the Monsters and Anti Cables for a while to see if they break in and start to sound better. Also, want to see if some source material sounds better with tne Anti's. I've got Morrow's ... |
