| what do you use to remove your tubes? I put my hand in a cotton athletic sock, but then- my tubes are completely exposed, and their silicone dampers make them even easier to grasp. | |
| New Adcom GFA-555 se - Special Edition 100,000 units/likely the best selling......? A testament to how deaf many people are. The Dynaco ST-70 sold over 300,000 units, because it sounded/sounds much more like music(even given it's obvious limitations). Now they sell used, for three time... | |
| Experience with high end fuses???? Perhaps a bit of reading would have eliminated your confusion? Note that HiFi-Tuning's literature mentions their fuses having a, "burn wire"(like any other miniature fuse) and nothing else, outside of endcaps and a body. Further- that the company ... | |
| Experience with high end fuses???? Mr Z- Yes, the effect has been verified, more than once and with different listeners(uncoached). Even some half-deaf musician friends noticed the more(what I term), "organic" presentation with the HiFi-Tuning fuses(gold ones), as opposed to Bussma... | |
| Experience with high end fuses???? Perhaps someone was asleep during the early eighties, when SO MANY of us learned that measurements mean VERY LITTLE when it comes to the sound of a high end system. I was skeptical(to say the least) about whether Hi-Fi Tuning fuses would make an a... | |
| What do you gain from bi-amping Magnepan 1.6s or Some info on the subject: (http://sound.westhost.com/bi-amp.htm) | |
| dynaco st 70 what tubes to replace first 1959, actually. One of the most important components in the building of a good sounding tube amp is the output transformer(if you're going to use one). The originals in the ST-70 were pretty darn good. With upgraded RCAs/speaker terminals/PC/chass... | |
| Best Internal Hook Up wire (http://www.percyaudio.com/Catalog.pdf) on page 2; for the Vampire wire that you want. Michael has a minimum order of $25.00, but you're certain to find something else in his catalog that you'll find interesting/useful. Happy listening! | |
| dynaco st 70 what tubes to replace first It's important to note that there are many variables that will determine, or limit, a listener's ability to discern improvements/changes in presentation. ie: A system(source/pre/speakers/cables) that does not present or pass the info on the record... | |
| dynaco st 70 what tubes to replace first If the amp didn't come with a Mullard(Blackburn Plant) GZ34/5AR4 rectifier; get one(NOS). It will probably be the last one you'll ever have to buy for the unit. That and NOS 7199's(Philips ECG=best, or RCA black plate, Sylvania) will both make maj... | |
| Matching Replacement Woofers Mr B- In the initial post, it sounded like the manufacturer of the speaker system was out of business. Then too: I doubt many would blame the company for abuse that the system suffered at the owner's hands, as most woofers are blown/damaged by bei... | |
| Matching Replacement Woofers Mr T- Because Waldom is the only manufacturer of reconing parts, outside of the companies that distribute kits to their warranty stations(mostly just for pro drivers; ie: Gauss Cetec, JBL, EV, Altec, etc.). At least; that's the way it was when I h... | |
| Matching Replacement Woofers Unfortunately- ALL reconers use Waldom Electronics parts with which to recone woofers(unless they are a warranty repair service for the driver in question). The chances of their using a voicecoil, spider and cone combination that would actually ma... | |
