| Still Audio EL84 Integrated Amplifier - my initial impressions BOBHEINATZIt seems some folk (not me) have trouble finding a suitable speaker to allow the EL84 to sing and dance.Which speakers are you using for your EL84 amp? | |
| Still Audio EL84 Integrated Amplifier - my initial impressions SMREX13I should also mention that I have had a load of experience with BLUMENSTEIN speakers and still own several sets of the excellent ORCAs.The ORCAs will not give you the SPLs that you need - with any amp, regardless of power - but the BLUMENST... | |
| Still Audio EL84 Integrated Amplifier - my initial impressions SMREX13I run a LEBEN CS-300F which uses 4 EL84 variants (GE JAN-6197 video tube) to produce 15w into (almost) any impedance.Barely tickling the volume knob, the little LEBEN can rock the neighbourhood on my KLIPSCH RP-160M (large) bookshelf speake... | |
| Pass Aleph 30 and 60 LIGUYYou are very knowledgeable on this stuff, so perhaps you can answer my question:Just about every SINGLE-ENDED amp on the planet - including most of the FIRST WATT models - drop power into lower impedances.This was very true of my 30w FIRST WA... | |
| LINN SONDEK LP12 BEARING OIL: Alternatives...

"Bass lines are fine, bass goes much lower than my speakers can handle " How is it that you can determine this?It may seem like a stupid question, but if your speakers don’t go ... | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale I can see that it has been more than three years since my last few posts on the topic of LINN LP12 upgrades.Since that time, I have stumbled across a newer LINN LP12 enhancement called TIGER PAW TRANQUILITY.In essence, it is said to relieve the be... | |
| Anyone have/ordered the Job 225? Attention GEORGELOFII noticed your post... "And as for a tube amp and the Job not liking each other, it's not that they don't like each other it's the fact that there is too much gain, massive in fact, as Devilboy said way back about the Job "IMO... | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale Which is your favourite amongst your unsuspended tables?I used to own a REGA PLANAR 3 with an RB300: a good table, but my LINN hot rod eats it IMHO... | |
| Transcendent Sound Grounded Grid PreAmp heard it? I built my kitset TRANSCENDENT GGP back in 2012. It has always been a superb preamp.But recently I got the itch and applied a bunch of upgrades and modifications. Still the same circuit but with better components and some 'house-keeping' tweaks in... | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale I picked up my LINN LP12 around 1997, when vinyl was perceived as just about dead.I didn't pay a lot for it - Cherry fluted plinth, glued pressed-steel subchassis (with CIRKUS bearing I think), Silver Ittok LVII, BPS H/O MC Cartridge, Trampolinn b... | |
