| Conrad Johnson Repair Issues OUTRAGEOUS!!!1. No way should they (or probably could they) have repaired the unit if it was in the physical condition you described. Call back and ask for the customer service manager or the owner. Send them a link to this thread. 2. It seem... | |
| Little help please Probably no reason to ship to Italy unless it's under warranty. Any good tube technician should be able to fix the amp. Usually (maybe always) output transformers are one per channel so that's unlikely. Which is a good thing because they are us... | |
| Your first component that was "special" CM Labs amp and pre-amp bought used circa 1978. | |
| Favorite guitar players not named...... Lots of good ones above, not mentioned as far as I can see are Tony Rice and Doc Watson. | |
| Music Server +1 for Neal van Berg's Music Vault servers. They do not use any proprietary software or hardware so you'll never get stuck w a boat anchor, they come w wifi and Ethernet, Jriver or roon they are easily expandable w USB hard drives and have log me ... | |
| Core Audio Designs ...... I'd love one but.... given the choice of putting $3-4K into a stand or staying w my Salamander and putting it into equipment, the stand loses. | |

| Need Help From The Resident Experts What's your budget? | |
| Need Help From The Resident Experts +1 almarg (sort of redundant). No question that the problem is too much gain. FWIW, I've used a pair of 10 dB Rothwell attenuators successfully in the past. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? My wife and I saw John Prine (& co.) Saturday night at the Warner Theater in Torrington, CT Saturday night. A great show from one of the greatest songwriters and performers out there. His voice has changed as a result of his cancer treatment... | |
| Steinmusic SP 1.1s for my Wavac MD 300 Normie- The nominal impedance of 8 ohms is OK but the minimum of 3.2 is not ideal for a tube amp. Could not find an impedance w frequency graph to see how severe the curve is or what frequency the minimum is at, or if the published sensitivity is ... | |
| Steinmusic SP 1.1s for my Wavac MD 300 That much power would work just fine, IMO, unless you have a huge room or want to reproduce concert level sound. | |
| Steinmusic SP 1.1s for my Wavac MD 300 unless your room is small or your music has limited dynamic range, I think you will find that you will begin to hear an increase in distortion at higher volumes. SET amps begin to produce significant amounts of distortion as they go up in power ou... | |
| Looking for my first tube amplifier, help appreciated. There was a pair of atmasphere m60s posted a while ago pretty close to that price, IIRC. | |
| Options for full-featured music servers/streamers? +1 reubent. I own one; his customer service is the best and all units are upgradeable (software and hardware). |
