| Starting Over There are a variety of 2A3 and 300B integrated amps that can be had for around $1000, a set of Lowther medallionsfor around $2500 with nice drivers and a Toshiba sd9200 (DVD-A, CD, HDCD)for less than $800. Add a sub and you have a nice system for ... | |
| What do these tubes sound like? I agree. Of course I have no way of knowing whether the Duetto can actually do 15 Hz because I have Lamhorns with DX3 Lowthers that don't play much below 60. I have them supplemented with an MBL sub that integrates very well and gets me pretty fla... | |
| I just installed NOS tubes? I take it from the tone of your post that you are unhappy with the new tubes. It may be that you were sold tubes that are worn out or are fakes. Some people that claim to sell NOS(new old stock) are actually selling WOOF (worn out old fakes). The ... | |
| What do these tubes sound like? I completely disagree with the assessment of the 300B. Treble is severely rolled off. As are the lower frequencies, which are the very definition of loose. The performance of a tube at these frequency extremes is a function of amplifier design a... | |
| My Levinson doesn't like the juice I had a similar problem with an amp that hummed when the line voltage was too high. I called the power company and they came out and retapped the transformer out on the pole to solve the problem. The power company has to adjust your line if it is ... | |
| Speaker match for 75 watt Tenor amps I am so proud to have participated in the most stupid thread on this forum. I especially enjoyed Natalie's advice to "stay as far away from a Horn as is humanly possible." I own Lammhorns and have heard a variety of horns in a variety of systems. ... | |
| Speaker match for 75 watt Tenor amps How about the 15 watt Tenor amps and a pair of Lamhorns. | |
| Shipping to Portugal Depending on how big it is you can probably mail it pretty cheaply since it doesn't weigh that much. Look Here | |
| Specification of 5U4C and 5Z4GT The difference between a 5Z4G and a 5Z4GT is the shape of the tube, they have the same specs. My tube manual does not list a 5U4C, only a 5U4G. If it is a 5U4G, then the specs are quite a bit different than the 5Z4G. The 5U4G draws 1.5 times more ... | |
| Can you cancel an auction? There is an option for the seller to cancel until the minimum has been bid. That option then disappears from the seller's menu. That is not explained in the rules but that is the way it works. Here are the rules. | |
| Subwoofer placement questions The signal travels down the speaker wire at at least 650,000,000 feet per second. I figured 2/3 the speed of light but it may be faster depending on your cables. It would take the signal about 20 nanoseconds (.00000002 seconds) to travel the extra... | |
| Busted Phillips Screws Be careful if you do decide to drill. The metal shavings may be attracted to the speaker magnet. If they get in around the voice coil you could have big trouble. | |
| Is a offer of -20 percent on an OBO ad insulting? I think sellers like that are being jerks. This has happened to me also. How do you know how low they are willing to go unless you make an offer? This is called negotiation. You can go higher but you can't go down so you have to start low. Maybe t... | |
