| Vinyl comeback now, cassette tapes next? Another tubed Car Audio line: (http://www.butleraudio.com/car.php) Even Panasonic has an entry: (http://www.automotto.com/entry/panasonic-cq-tx5500d-vacuum-tube-car-stereo-targetting-your-car/) | |
| Can I swap a Stepped Attenuator for a Potentiomer? And, since the subject came up; Percy also offers Shallco selector switches(solid silver contacts), for building either discrete resistor attenuators, or stereo selector switches. See page 13, of the aforementioned catalog. BTW: Should you decide ... | |
| Can I swap a Stepped Attenuator for a Potentiomer? TKD makes a very good stepped attenuator, with discrete resistors for each position. I've also used a lot of Alps and Noble controls in projects(less salty), but they are getting rare. See pages 13 & 14, of this catalog: (http://www.percyaudio... | |
| Audio advertising, snake oil, and this: WELL- The PRESENT administration would certainly buy it. | |
| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? Dynaco(David Hafler was an electronic artist) and California Audio Labs. Their CDPs and DACs were outstanding, for their era. | |
| Do Mono Block amps provide better sound ?? Too many variables to make categorical statements. Separate power supplies CAN make big difference, IF they are of sufficient build quality. Crosstalk is nonexistant, but that benefit can be negated by other sonic factors. It all depends on to wha... | |
| Power cord replacement where first? Like Eliz says, try it on both. Let us know your thoughts. | |
| Power cord replacement where first? Your integrated's presentation has an effect on EVERYTHING flowing through the system. Any improvement there, would be most beneficial. | |
| Woofer sucking in and out BTW: I think someone mentioned this, but- a record weight(just in the middle), will cause the circumference of some thinner vinyl records to lift off the mat. If there is an acoustic feedback issue, this will exasperate it. The one mentioned by Ct... | |
| Woofer sucking in and out They do work, but- the good ones are not cheap, timed cooling and all that: (http://drhifihousecalls.com.au/New%20Equipment/Furutech/Furutech%20Record%20Flattener%20DFV-1/Furutech%20Record%20Flattener.htm) It can also be done, in the oven, between... | |
| Woofer sucking in and out Luna- If the degree of woofer movement varies with the record; look at the circumference of the discs, as you play them. If the excursions increase with the warp of the outer edge; you've found your problem. Barring the use of a subsonic filter; a... | |
| The sound of glasswear Hey Audiofeil- Quit beating around the bush, and just say what's on your mind! LOTF/LMAO | |
| The sound of glasswear Three decades of experience with SS pres and tubes amps(in MY listening rooms). Never had a problem with a speaker, or considered a tubed amp a, "pain in the ass." Biasing the outputs is as complicated as it gets, and tube replacement just goes wi... | |
| Any difference between tubes. Many musicians search for NOS tubes to either warm up or put an edge on their amps's sound(tone control-same as, "audiophiles") ie: (http://thetubestore.com/12ax7review.html) and (http://www.guitaramplifierblueprinting.com/Tubeprimerandselection33... | |
| The sound of glasswear I've been using a modded Tact RCS 2.2aaa and a pair of Cary tubed monoblocks, for a number of years now. A wonderful degree of realism. My tweaked BAT VK-D5 has to be adding to the equation, as well(as far as digital). Don't hesitate to experiment! |
