| Break In Your Speakers...... What CD and how long? The out-of-phase/in mono/facing each other/closely situated trick works very well. Be certain the system is set to mono(or use track 6 of the following CD), or you're cancelling a smaller percentage of the sound. The Ayre CD, 'Irrational, But Effi... | |
| The Room, not us, determines our speaker choices There's no denying that room acoustics are of primary importance when setting up either a recording studio, live music venue or a listening room. I'd generally rather have so-so equipment in an excellent room, than excellent equipment in a so-so r... | |
| Power supply upgrades Enjoy your music!! | |
| Power supply upgrades Sns- I agree completely with Al about not replacing caps with anything of a lower voltage rating. Your RS804 can be replaced with an IXYS FBE 22-06N1. The Phono One seems to have a spacious chassis. I would think you'd be able to accomodate four I... | |
| Power supply upgrades If he could find some Black Gates to directly replace the caps he has, there would definitely be an improvement with regards to dynamics. Some of their old suppliers still have the smaller values in stock, although at a premium. Upgrading to Black... | |
| Power supply upgrades Increase your filter capacitance, and replace your rectifiers with FREDs. I've done the former in the past(in tube amps) with excellent results. That's one of the first things most tube amp modders address, as it will improve the amp's bottom end ... | |
| The Room, not us, determines our speaker choices I never expected that I'd write a post in agreement with Mrtennis either. BUT- I'm one that could never be happy with boxed speakers as well(except as studio monitors). I too have been using Maggies(a couple of the smaller models, modded, 24" from... | |
| Cayin A70T has bogus tube rectification? You bought an amp that was manufactured in china(cap omitted intentionally), and you're surprised that the rectifier tube is bogus/counterfeit/fake? Counterfeiting ia their national vocation/pastime/hobby!! | |
| Replaced Kimber Kable Hero ICs with Kubala-Sosna Gee: the Emotion(at over $2000/m) outperformed the Hero(at under $250/m)? What a shock!! How about comparing them to Kimber's Silver Select line, which cost about half the price of the Emotions? A much fairer comparison. I'm not saying that Kubala... | |

| Broad Stage in Santa Monica That would have been a major drive. I wish they'd come to Indianapolis! No venues with that kinda class though. | |
| "Bi-amping" an integrated without another amp? Mr E: Rotel called that position on the "swotch", "A+B". (http://www.rotel.com/content/manuals_archived/ra1060.pdf) It'll work. | |
| "Bi-amping" an integrated without another amp? YES: That would simply be the same as bi-wiring. | |
| which tube amp to try??? I've been using a pair of Cary SLM-100's for a few years now. Out of the gate, they were a very transparent pair, tubed with Sylvania and Winged 'C's. They're rock solid on their bias, easy on tubes, and very easy to mod(should you desire to). I d... |
