| Tube help I misunderstood your question, thinking you were seeking a method to affect a repair(on your own). Contact KR, and see what they say: kr.audio@tiscali.cz | |
| Tube help Try finding some "Gap filling" SuperGlue(cyanoacrylate adhesive). It's thicker than the regular SuperGlue. If you trickle some of that between the base and the envelope, then flash cure it with a shot of Zip Kicker Accelerator(By Pacer), it MAY cu... | |
| 6L6 tube recommendations requested (http://www.upscaleaudio.com/SED-quotWinged-Cquot-6L6GC_p_65.html) OR (http://www.upscaleaudio.com/SED-Winged-C-EL-34_p_63.html) For a warmer presentation; Kevin offers the Genelex Gold Lion reproductions, which are also a reliable tube. Check out... | |
| retubing and would like to hear input from others In most ANY amplifier, upgrading the rectifier will provide a most definite improvement in sound. The power supply is providing the voltage/current to your speakers, as modulated(YES- that IS the correct term) by the musical signal. Any improvemen... | |
| Tube rolling 6922 tubes looking for transparency That's the same seller (http://shop.ebay.com/member/?_frompage=findamember&_adv=1&_userid=audiotubes_de&_tokentext=383655&tokenstring=MqcnIwQAAAA%253D) that I've used for CCa's, 7308's and E188CC's. He's very reliable and scrupulou... | |
| Tube rolling 6922 tubes looking for transparency I've been using Siemens CCa's(from the late 50's-early 60's) for a number of years(six in my CDP, lately), because of their transparency, frequency extension, bass accuracy and sound stage abilities. The CCa was a specially selected 6922 family tu... | |
| Best Alternatives to Black Gate Caps Parts Connexion still lists a 3.3uF, 50V PK Black Gate on their site(click on Black Gate, bottom of page). (http://www.partsconnexion.com/t/catalog/CapacitorsElectrolytic.html) I wish Sanyo would produce their OS-CONs in higher voltages. | |
| Is this clipping or just high SPL? Perhaps it was a stretch when I assumed most understood; a single classical guitar, a small chamber group, an acoustic jazz or blues set, through Heavy Metal bands or philharmonic orchestras playing fortissimo(ffff) all produce, "live" SPL levels,... | |
| Elusive Tube-Amp Hum As Mr L mentioned; the problem could be a cold solder joint on a ground connection, or a loose ground terminal on one of the RCA jacks. That the problem didn't occur at the shop, without your interconnects, does make them suspect as well. Cheaper ... | |
| Is this clipping or just high SPL? DJ- To answer your question: YES, reflected sound/loud mush at the listening position. As an experiment: find two or three large, thick comforters and drape them on the wall, behind your listening position. That should let you know if slap echo is... | |
| Is this clipping or just high SPL? My listening room is also somewhat small. I found that, at anything approaching a realistic(live or monitor) listening level; the room was overloaded. Treating the back wall(behind my listening position, about 2/3: top-down) with 3" Auralex and LE... | |
| Used tubes question Those that don't experiment with NOS tubes, just don't know what they're missing. Enjoy your music!! =8^) | |
| An honest opinion about upgrading? IF the volume levels which you are obtaining are satifying to you; much of the improvement you desire can be had via NOS driver/phase splitter tubes in your power amp. For definition and clarity, I'd personally recommend a pair of Siemens ECC83's,... | |
| Why 6H30 Tubes? (http://www.balanced.com/) Click on, "The 6H30 Tube - One Designer's Perspective" for some info. That was dated before the tube was readily available in the market. I still personally prefer the upper crust of the NOS 6922 family(ie: Siemens CCa o... | |
| Used tubes question Finding TungSols in matched pairs will be hard to do(no- I can't cite a good source), but worth the effort if you can locate some that are low enough noise for a preamp section. Depending on what half wave rectifier you are presently using(ie: Chi... |
