| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states I also absolutely agree and even sure that larger drivers are easier to control since they don't need to be moved excessively by the voice coil to have the same SPL, but would they 'dive down' to its designed lowest frequency with 30W is a pure qu... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states sorry for confusing, but i'm not speaking in terms of chaotic woofer movement. i'm speaking in terms of amount of pushed air from the woofer which is nothing else but sound. | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states Atmasphere,my due respect to your OTLs, they are money-no-object electronics for whoever can afford to spend extra $$$ for nearly twice larger amount of tubes per channel for the same desired output power vs. an amp with output transformer.speakin... | |
| New amp being touted as among the best ever...... I keep my Sunfire SRA. | |
| W/ $200 what amp would you buy? Nikko Alpha I believe is the champ in this price range that is often sold on ebay. | |
| Aquafina for record cleaning Don made his point. Aquafina is actually chemically distilled sink water that IMHO has no point spending money for drinking. I'd prefer pure spring water since purified distilled water is missing lots of substances the spring water provides to hum... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states tubes have high output impedance so they need transformer to convert its output voltage into current to drive nowdays speakers. hence the power of tube amps become less 'visible' to the lower frequencies due to the transformer limitation. this yie... | |
| Quick poll: Listening at night, lights ON or OFF ? Td,I've never experienced headphone listening while operating a crap machine LOL! | |
| Quick poll: Listening at night, lights ON or OFF ? Please be warned that cables might not be visible with no light at night:-) | |
| Dark and laid back vs bright and forward Just spotted a great memories of Patrick(Lugnut) may God rest his soul in great piece. | |
| Vandersteen 7s I haven't heard 7's but hearing 5A's gave me an idea how pointless to spend even fraction for these. | |
| dumb question, how to fix loose termination? Naked wire not only will fix problem but will be more superior than banana plugs. Just only slight inconvenience of connecting them. | |
| Need advice on next step I also like SFL-1 but also would add a good quality SS preamps such as Classe 60. | |
| In the meantime I would stay out of playing uncompressed recordings(even at moderate volume levels) not to bring the receiver to clipping in the mean time... 2Ohms might seem a large enough tolerance gap, but your speakers might even go bellow 4Ohms. | |
| Quick poll: Listening at night, lights ON or OFF ? On when placing a stylus on vinyl. |
