| Tube Preamp and SS Amps - How? I'd say that with SS that have >=47K impedance passives will do the best job for the money invested indeed. | |
| Name three of yours the most favourite drummers Z, I don't need to dance to a shuffle I usually aim to get high and some drummers I've listed can get me to that just by playing alone with no music...HINT: Getting high occurs from consuming a high dencity and intencity of a spiritual flux. It oc... | |
| Tube Preamp and SS Amps - How? Folks it is not only the impedance matching you should take into the consideration. In general SS amps give out full power with just 1V or bellow at input and tube preamps might have an extraneous gain. Many tube preamps have can be noisy if paire... | |
| Single Channel Attenuator Agree on that Eldartford, I too use RS pots to determine the right value of the resistor and than replace it with the high quality one... | |
| Amp problem: 10 of volume Not likely these are the fuses or output stage of the amp. Most likely it can be an input(driving) stage.There can be (not sure if that's the case) shunting of an input driving stage and feeding the output stage with the small signal.A professiona... | |
| Coupling cap upgrade possibilities for VTL? 185's isn't as vintage as mine 100's and for them you should ask Bea if it's possible anywhay... For mine she asked the price of $800 but yours probably go away cheaper since they don't have space issues like my tiny ones. | |
| VTL 750 Reference multicap upgrade to infinicaps ? Mejames,Ask Michael Percy and He'll answer that infinicaps are no better than multicaps RTX. They're simply perfect. Did you make a signature trans upgrade yet? | |
| Coupling cap upgrade possibilities for VTL? Z, what is currently used on your MB185? Power dropping, input and feedback resistors may even do a cheaper and more efficient upgrade...Truly saying, $800/pr is theoretically toooo much for 0.22...0.33uF. The most expencive might probably cost ar... | |
| Single Channel Attenuator RadioSnack ones to my belief has no application whatsoever and never last even a day or two before you start hearing the fried bacon out of them.For a true budget high quality ones you should visit www.mouser.com Please note that from their catalo... | |
| Looking for Tube Preamp with Phono and Headphone AI3 is a great preamp but with weak phono(realy mean to compare to SFP1). | |
| Single Channel Attenuator You can go to SamAsh music stor and get guitar attenuators.Gibson might be expencive but I don't think over $100. I know they work great on DIY audio gear as well. | |
| how much tube power for eclipse ? Tim, you're probably underrating Rogue that has a transformer tolerable to large impedance swings as well as VTL. It's just simply not with the same class with Avalons but can play them for sure. Later-on magnum upgrade can be done. If it can driv... | |
| How to respond to those who say it's not a hobby? buy her a new jeans and stuff with your each next upgrade and no convincing is neccessary. | |
| Plinius 8200 v. Musical Fidelity Tri. v. SimI5 Even if Nu-Vista bests all Plinius 8200 used is the best bang for a buck with excellent phono. | |
| The best and worst "audiophile music" Most classical and so the jazz performances and performers on Chesky label sound all like a lulliby or funeral chant. Great before you go to bed or the bedroom system. To the unfortunate situation most passionate and spiritual performers of classi... |
