| What About LiFePO4 Batteries and Pure Sine Wave Inverters? @vonhelmholtz Looks like a user friendly control system. I was a bit confused by your numbers until I realized your battery is 300ah at 12V. So that is 30ah at 120V. Your 238 watts is basicly 2 amps at 120V so you would be getting 15 hours at 1... | |
| I suddenly have a weird buzz issue; can someone help me solve the problem? Tubes are consummables. You should always have a complete spare set of tubes and when you hear something wierd, the first thing you should do is tube swapping. Jerry | |
| Aric Audio Super 2A3 owners - favorite tubes? @mmcgill829 don't be so sure. the 300B 2.5V is designed to be used in 2A3 amps. the ones I had were in my 2A3 amp. They won't work in a 300b amp. | |
| Aric Audio Super 2A3 owners - favorite tubes? I don't have your amp but have used a lot of similar tubes. I am a big fan of EML and the mesh plates. You might try the 300B 2.5V Mesh--a 300b tube with 2.5 V heaters. I had a pair that were my favorite tubes in a previous amp. Check the specs... | |
| Need a modern Class A monoblock, preferably half or compact chassis I would never be ampless. I have 4 amps sitting here waiting to sell and oe on order. buy something used that you can listen to and resell whenever you feel like it wtih minimal loss. Jerry | |
| San Diego Audiophile group? OK. this is getting hard. Mostly because Audiogon doesn't allow us to share contact info. I can be found on that place where professionals post their job history and experience. Jerry Stephenson Engineering Manager. Southern California. I hav... | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? @amtprod The DSP fixed frequency response and killed the magic. DSP isn't the answer. | |
| Townshend Isolation Products. Breaking news (anyway, experience from last night). I bought new speakers. they sounded excellent on my Townsend platforms. I took them off to try them coupled to the floor and while they were off I ordered some new feet for them. they staye... | |
| What if a high end speaker measures really badly? A speaker can sound very good yet have a significant dip (or more than one). Generally that dip is at the bottom and most people check for that by playing songs heavy in bass. But a dip at a different frequency might not be caught until you play t... | |
| Ethernet Cables - what are you using and why? Silver coated copper. always. | |
| Townshend Isolation Products. I use their speaker platforms. Physics says to isolate your equipment use springs with the proper k factor and length to damp all vibrations. Townshend is IMHO the best supplier to do those calculations to match your mass. jerry | |
| SPEAKER CABLE OR INTERCONNECT 15awg is not big enough for speaker cables imho. | |
| Great network streamers with only USB outputs I wouldn't even consider a converter. I don't like sonore because it involves convertes to go back and forth to optical. I assume your bel canto supports AES/EBU? I have a grimm streamer that excels using AES/EBU. I think it is foolish to buil... | |
| Android phone for audiophiles No phone in an audiophile system except maybe as a remote. | |
| San Diego Audiophile group? BTW, any others interested? |
