| Tubes and their problems +1 Mapman. Tubes are great when they work well, and a real PITA when they don't.Luckily, they seem to work well most of the time. | |
| Tubes and their problems Rodman99999, that's a hoot. LOL. | |
| Tubes and their problems PHd, I actually was referring to Al jazeera...lol..although that might not be the station, it could have been anything for all I know!Anyhow, I am going to get a handle on which is the offending tube and replace it. | |
| Tubes and their problems Actually the tubes that are making the noise are ( I think ) in my preamp. One of them lets me listen to the Al-Jareera radio station when the gain is turned up! Interestingly, they are not that old, probably have only a few hundred hours on them,... | |
| Sonus faber Amatis vs guarneries anybody opinions? Agree with french fries. The GH's do produce bass down to about 45hz., the GE's will go down to about 40Hz. In order to get a fuller sound in the bottom end, you will need a subwoofer with any of the G's. As to the Amati's, I don't think they imag... | |
| Tubes and their problems Thanks, Newbee. What is the procedure for retensioning the tube sockets? | |
| Koetsu Stone Body vs Urushi/RSP Does anybody know if the motor and the other internal parts are any different from Koetsu to Koetsu? Or, is it the body only that is accounting for the difference in price of these cartridges? | |
| Heat heat and more heat?? Thanks again Al. As soon as the amp comes back from the factory, I will connect the sub as suggested. Appreciate all the help. | |
| Heat heat and more heat?? Al, the reading at the two RCA's is 0.4 ohms, same as at the two xlr's. I took the caution of replacing the battery in the meter today ( even though apparently the old one was ok), which seemed to slightly solidify the readings, so I re-took the r... | |
| Heat heat and more heat?? So, after taking the reading as you suggested Al, i read 0.4 ohms on the right channel xlr input and a fluctuating reading on the left channel xlr input. When I took the measurement between the AC safety ground and the xlr, the right channel was a... | |
| Experiences buying used cartridges Here's a question for those who are considering a used cartridge...how do you really know how many hours on that piece? Therefore, how much wear has the diamond incurred...because just a few playings of a worn diamond and your LP's are toast. | |
| What Did I Do Wrong? And you know this how?? | |
| What Did I Do Wrong? Sounds like these tubes are preferred in the pro audio setting, to be utilized in a guitar amp! There the ability to fall into distortion quicker would be a value. The exact opposite of what we want in the audio world.As a guitar player, that's th... | |
| Heat heat and more heat?? Thanks Al, That's great. I am actually re-thinking your idea about the XLR plug. I can indeed buy one cheap from Parts Connection and it would be easy enough to connect the ground wire to it. One question, is the xlr ground active when I am using ... | |
| Heat heat and more heat?? Well, I measured the impedance as you suggest, Al. The subwoofer measures appx. 100 ohms...while the amp is all over the place..too weird!Both channels seem to fluctuate..what the heck? |
