| New Fuse Thread . . . A request Albert: Would it be possible for those of your friends that decided to try the Hi-Fi Tuning fuses in their equipment to document their equipment, and the results of their listening tests for you to post here? I believe that would be a va... | |
| New Fuse Thread . . . Alberporter- KUDOS on your continued experimentation with these fuses, and thanks for your observations. Ever notice that when many obtain an EE Degree, it seems to affect their aural accuity? Perhaps causing some sort of premature presbycusis, or... | |
| Can excellent tubes transcend modest amps? A pair of these: (http://www.tubedepot.com/pa-6sl7gt-3.html), and NOS TungSol JAN CTL/6SN7GT roundplates or Sylvania JAN/CHS/6sn7W tall bottle tubes from the 40's as drivers in the A-88T would probably satisfy your craving for a taste of the high-... | |
| How do you remove static from an album. Like anything else made of rice paper nowdays: It has to come out of the orient. Try here: (http://www.elusivedisc.com/products.asp?dept=377) The, "Japanese 12 inch inner record sleeves". Also: I'd bet the MFSL sleeves would be great as well(thoug... | |
| what do I change or upgrade? Hi Bob- An inexpensive, but very effective, way that I've found: Purchase six Model 2 Vibrapods, six Vibrapod polymer cones and a 17" X 13" piece of Dupont Corian, 1/2" thick(or a 1/2 thick sheet of glass). Place 4 of the Vibrapods close to each c... | |
| How do you remove static from an album. That would actually be silicone Ms E is referring to. The snap, crackle and pop associated with(even new) vinyl can be generated by either dirt (held in place by mold release agents containing silicone, static or melted into the vinyl by the stylu... | |
| what do I change or upgrade? Bob- After you ungrade the Lector's tubes, make the next step good isolation. For all their innate non-resonant construction, the Lectors respond really well to further isolation. On what do you have the unit resting presently? | |
| Random pop sounds in my system are scaring me Good to hear you solved the problem!! Happy listening! =8^) | |
| Question has been asked before but need more info Because the signal from your tubed pre-amp has to travel through quite a few solid state devices in your SS amp, on it's way to your speakers. A typical tubed amp has far less components in it's circuit topography, from input to output, for the si... | |
| what do I change or upgrade? What tubes are you presently using in your Lector? A quality matched pair of NOS tubes(ie: Telefunken or Siemens ECC801S, Valvo 6201) will make a MAJOR difference in your presentation. Those mentioned will provide exactly the flavor you are seekin... | |
| Can excellent tubes transcend modest amps? My first comment was that the better and more resolving the system, the more the qualities of NOS tubes would be appreciated. NO- They WON'T transform junk, and I fully agree that a well built power supply, quality caps, etc. ARE an absolute must ... | |
| Can excellent tubes transcend modest amps? Actually- The better and more resolving the equipment and system, the more you will be able to appreciate the difference NOS tubes make. I'm referring to some of the Holy Grails here(ie: Telefunken ECC801S, Siemens CCa, TungSol JAN CTL round plate... | |
| A balanced passive preamp? The Placette Passive Linestage(or just the remote volume control) are both available in a true balanced configuration. (http://www.placetteaudio.com/) | |
| Hickok 752 tube tester.... Same as a 6DJ8/6922, but with double the filament current. Sorry I can't tell you how to do that on your Hickok. | |
| which tubes for which genre ? Matter of fact: A pair of VTL 300 Monoblocks would be a perfect match for your speakers(if you have the room). Whatever load they are wired for will receive their full rated output. Just be certain they are internally connected for a 4 ohm speaker... |
