| Q: Does the number of tubes affect the sound? it depends how powerful the signal you want. many tubes working in-phase superpose the signal to one another thus increasing the output power. | |
| Cary V12 - Output Tubes Problem most-likely that is the fault of a power supply and less-likely you'll be able to perform that troubleshooting by yourself if you've never worked with high-voltage circuits (nearly 500V).there are definitely fuses on the amplifier and i guess one ... | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. I just want to add something to the speakers: If you hire a professional acoustic engineer you can get away with spending a fraction of a branded high-end speaker price and you'll have a sound perfection for a PARTICULAR listening room. Certainly ... | |
| What's your favorite instrument to listen to.... ...sighing female vocals :-) | |
| Review: Audio Note CDT-2 Transport ...so if i need to listen to music 4 hours per day in average i should break it in for almost a year????????i n s a n e. | |
| What are the best live acts? Nina Hagen...You should first see her mimics and act during the live performance!Kate Bush...Uh... she's so lovely! | |

| Ok this will be a good thread. in this case one-D thinking cannot be precise since saying that speakers or amp are the most important components is just like measuring the length of a shadow not knowing the actual position of the subject.less demand certainly on the speaker if ... | |
| Bias adjustement pots. appreciate for interesting article!less-likely the DC-component may be from the tube amps due to the damaged trim pot since they have an output transformer.on the other hand I can test the quiescent output directly before the transformer and see i... | |
| preamp vs. no-preamp Anyone knows if there is a DIY guide or circuitry for transformer based passive preamp? | |
| Blowing Fuses in a Tube Amp Keith...,I suspect that the problem is not in tubes.My friend has QuickSilver M60 mono amps that use EL34 chinese tubes. He did not replace them for more than 1.5 years and they still read to be in good shape. I already change tubes in my VTL MB10... | |
| preamp vs. no-preamp Gboren the gain is the constant value on the most of the preamps. There are preamps with variable gain. Turning volume up or down you still working with already amplified signal.Changing the volume by changing the amp's gain is not efficient and w... | |
| Expensive vinyl rig - still not performing ;- 1.is your turntable PERFECTLY leveled?2.did you check if the armboard with platter on the one plane?3.is your platter rotates free?4.is your turntable coupled to the heavy and rigid stand? | |
| Blowing Fuses in a Tube Amp there are lots of variables on that issue to check but this value is finite.1.the unstable bias supply can be due to the rectifying tube or ss diode or bridge; replace with higher quality rectifying diode(a-must) or ss-diode or the whole bridge.2.... | |
| Shure Stylus Gauge i've just re-measured on my turntable(where i don't use any mat) and the reading are barely different that the difference cannot be captured by the Shure gauge meaning less than one tenth fraction of the gramm. |
