| Question about wpc on tube amps Low power SETs are great for sensitive speakers. You don't have those. Jerry | |
| Powercord for Infinity Reference Standard RS II-B EQUALIZER So the common 5.5mm OD has 2 different IDs 2.5mm and 2.1mm. So if you have a 5.5mm connector and it is loose, you probably need 5.5 x 2.1. I have adapters I use in a pinch but I always put a high quality connector on the end eventually. PS th... | |
| Cable re-termination in NJ area Is it DIY, or is it professionally done? Who would you rather have working on your equipment, a $25/hr trainee or a physist/nuclear/mechanical engineer with 40 years of experience and lots of fabrication/shop experience? And no, I’ve never had t... | |
| Fezz Audio Mira Ceti 300b? A lot of people here like Aric Audio. Toolshed amps. There are Dennis Had hand made amps floating around if you search Look for point to point architecture and SET design (they are starting to do other things with 300b now). Jerry | |
| Fezz Audio Mira Ceti 300b? Lots of 300b choices in that price range. Is it the toroidal transformers that attract you? Tubes provided are blah. I'm guessing that it is PC board based. Neither the review or the website provide any details on construction. BTW, I don't s... | |
| Vitus RI-101 mkII cables recommendation I've had to google your system. Looks like your speakers were introduced in 1994. are all the drivers and crossover components in good shape? a great amp will still suffer if the speakers aren't performing. Unless you have an inadequate powe... | |
| Cable re-termination in NJ area Yes, it might improve them. Lots of us improve on OEM work. Jerry | |
| Cable re-termination in NJ area If you ship in a flat rate box, cost is the same anywhere in the US. Let me know if you don’t find someone to help. I would do it for you at no charge. Moderator: I don't believe this violates any rules but if it does, please delete and accept ... | |
| Power conditoner.. @esarhaddon1 I don't mean 60V but 110 is fine and no place in the US has less than 110V now. Indeed, a tube amp bias needs adjustment for different voltage. That's why a power inverter like the PS audio is great for tube amps. It does make it a... | |
| Power conditoner.. @fertguy the PP is programmable to put out whatever voltage you want. Like I said, the voltage doesn't matter. the quality of the sine wave is what does. If you are getting no improvement, the power supply in your amp (and other equipment) mu... | |
| Power conditoner.. Your amp doesn't care much what voltage it gets so long as it is in the range. Get a voltmeter, you may find your generator is putting out 130 volts. but it is disappointing that you don't see any improvement from the PP. Are you using heavy po... | |
| 300b lovers Great discussion. My current amp has 3 heater voltages so I can use 300B, 2A3, or 45s. I've tried all 3, settled on some 2.5V 300b's because I found good tubes in stock. This amp is a 6SN7 driven amp so now I wonder is the 45s or even the 2A3... | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? Sounds like your speakers don't go very low and probably mate very well with your subs. I like to touch the signal as little as possible and my prejudice is that an electronic crossover might do more harm than good. The recommendation to use a... | |
| There's No Question @ronboco The cabinets are well made and well designed. they aren't beautiful. Jerry | |
| Contacting EgglestonWorks The email should work better. They apparently teach in business school now that no contact with the customer should be made by phone. Make them punch endless numbers while listening to a computer until they get mad and hang up. bonus points if you... |
