| Can someone help me with a popping sound?? Dsiggia: Since you didn't say otherwise, I'll assume that after you removed the sub (and after you switched the system off and back on to get rid of the whine, which I'll treat as incidental and isolated for the moment) you found your noise to sti... | |
| Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp? It continues to amaze me how so many audiophiles are apparently more than willing to make a major new-gear purchase like this sound-unheard, based on nothing more than one reviewer's somewhat-initial take. I guess HP truly is more than just anothe... | |
| New Peter Gabriel Tour in USA................. Uh oh - Nothing will piss Ben off more than this :-0THE LIPS HIT THE ROAD AGAINLooks like the Flaming Lips will give Bob Dylan's Never-Ending Tour a run for its money. They've just announced the first leg of their new US tour. Check out the dates:... | |
| song title that is memorable Sean: I've not heard that tune before - is it yours?... :-) | |
| Can someone help me with a popping sound?? This does not seem like an induced hum from your description of the sound. If you want to confirm that it's not your sub, disconnect it. If the problem remains, see below - if it's gone, come back and tell us.If this doesn't seem to have anything ... | |
| How to respond to those who say it's not a hobby? My point being :-) | |
| Tubes with Thiel CS-3.6's? has anyone had success? Thanks Tom for setting it straight - that's good news for 2.-series aficianados. Thiel's ads (unlike some others' I won't mention) are so carefully worded, it's hard to believe a boner like that could slip through the cracks... | |
| Coupling cap upgrade possibilities for VTL? Thanks Jcbtubes, and Khaki8 for emailing, to let me know the caps are made by Audio Note UK. I am not thinking of doing the jobs DIY myself, but using a local tech instead of sending the amps off to VTL across the country. At the moment I'm thinki... | |
| The Worst Speaker you have ever heard. At least Al can pronounce the word "nuclear"...(Hey Peter,is it Olympics time again already? Seriously though, Shrub is a highly, umm, entertaining speaker - wouldn't trade him for a real president unless the going got tough...oops... ;^)The worst... | |
| How to respond to those who say it's not a hobby? Unsound, by that definition, snapping one's carrot could be a hobby... :-) | |
| Coupling cap upgrade possibilities for VTL? Yes, I worded that badly by saying "vintage" - the 185's are a current model, and no filter cap upgrade from the factory is possible or offered. What they offer right now are just the coupling caps, and the fuse arrangement is made more robust for... | |
| Tubes with Thiel CS-3.6's? has anyone had success? Well, that was just the ad, not the literature. And since this bass driver is smaller and seems to be the one from the 1.6, I wouldn't doubt that it presents a kinder load. But the fact that it is being called upon to extend lower in frequency ran... | |
| VTL 750 Reference multicap upgrade to infinicaps ? Marakanetz, I believe that all VTL Reference amps have been produced only with the Signature transformers, no upgrade possible...Germanboxers, when I spoke with Luke Manley about their coupling cap upgrade for my 185's, he talked about the Infinic... | |
| Coupling cap upgrade possibilities for VTL? Marakanetz, I don't believe VTL has a filter cap upgrade for amps of the 185's vintage. I have been told by some that the resistors could be improved...Khaki8, I've not heard of this kind before, so thanks for the suggestion - but is "Sudio" the c... | |
| VTL 750 Reference multicap upgrade to infinicaps ? Mejames, I swear, I really didn't see this thread before I posted my one above...great minds and all that! :-) Best of luck, I'll be checking back... |
