| Biwiring make any sense? Those of you who say "if the speaker is set up properly for it", do you realize that on a circuit diagram biwire looks exactly like single wire? | |
| Receiver @erik_squires has stepped away from the forums for a while but he told went to Anthem, regretted it, and recommended the Marantz cinema 50 to me. I am very happy with it. But I have never heard the anthem. I do not use my reciever for 2 channel... | |
| Type 45 Tubes for stereo amplifiers I have a pair but I think it is against the rule to offer them to you for sale. I don't know of any new 45s, maybe sophia, but they won't be cheap. the used vintage ones on ebay are cheap and generally in good shape so I recommend buying a few ... | |
| Receiver @soix this is posted in the HT forum. | |
| Crucial TUBE question Sounds like @dogearedaudio found the connection between pins 7 and 8 that allowed it to work. I also agree with his recommendation of the Mullard GZ34. Jerry | |
| Receiver for $10k I would buy a $3000 Marantz cinema 50 for HT and then I would buy a seperate 2 channel amp to drive my front speakers for 2 channel sound. Run the pre-out from the cinema 50 to one input on the amp. Run the input from your 2 channel sys... | |
| Crucial TUBE question @audiodidact @mulveling has confirmed my read that the heater would not be hooked up. (needs both pins to have a circuit). So KT150 would not light up and would not produce any current. At this point I don't think we need someone with tube k... | |
| Crucial TUBE question Another thought. Perhaps the tube you used was not a KT150 but a large globe 5U4G? double check that. | |
| Crucial TUBE question OK I pulled up the pinout for both tubes. Nothing shorts out (obviously based on your experience). The heater will not have current in a KT150 so I don't see how it works well if at all. Pin 4 is a grid in one tube and a plate in the other. O... | |
| Crucial TUBE question Accident is sometimes the mother of invention. that said, I doubt this is a great discovery but you never know. Upscale audio's response is predictable legal CYA when they have no idea what the technical answer is. Hope someone who actually kno... | |
| Legacy Signature SE The volume needed to make your system sound good depends just as much on the electronics as the speakers. The better your system, the less volume you need. | |
| Have you had streaming music clip out with chord Dave? Yes, that is normal. sound unaffected, right? I couldn't rememer why so I looked it up. the memory blanking is normal - its because when writing the config settings to the flash memory you can't read at the same time, so I have to blank the di... | |
| I Sold my CD Player!!! Streaming sounds so incredible!!! @fpomposo Sounds like you don't believe in FLAC. I've never used an Aurender and I hope they don't have conversion problems making FLAC back into WAV. I upgraded my Innuos with onboard drive and a nice ripper to a grimm with onboard drive. I d... | |
| what cable should I buy for my system? You should buy a simple high quality copper cable. Cables are important, but not a tuner. the issues you describe are not your power cable. Jerry | |
