@mulveling @jjss49 @jetter Thanks for clarity on tube dampers on tube power amps. @mulveling Hell no I’m not gonna spend almost 2k just for looks. Wouldn’t even spend 50$ just for looks on a tube damper without it doing nothing.
Tube microphonics
Hello. I am using Audio Research Ref 750 mono blocks and they in front of my speakers but off to the sides. Someone told me on another site that if I move the amps beside the speakers and not in front of them , my system will improve immensely. It will reduce tube microphonics. What are your opinions of this and I just want to say that I’m very new to tube amps so this is something I never heard of before. Thank you all.

@onhwy61 I was thinking the same from the very beginning too. Plus my speakers are B&W 800 matrix. Top and bottom bass also. They act like having 2 subwoofers on ea speaker. |
And: you were correct. ie: https://upscaleaudio.com/pages/microphonics

Keep in mind: parked next to your speaker systems, your amp's entire chassis will be boogieing, in tune with the music. How much time, effort and dinero, have many of us spent, in an effort to eliminate undesirable vibes, from our components' (passive/active) electronics? Of course: one's listening habits (ie: SPLs) would be a major variable. Happy listening! |
