| What's between your AA"S I got rid of My CAL Alpha and theta for an AA3.0. Stick with what you have. For the money it can't be beat. The jitter controls were usually sold with the lower model AAs (I think). | |
| CAL Delta/Alpha vs Music Hall CD25: A comparison Stock CAL tubes-garbage! My alpha came with cheap chinese tubes, try upgrading to anything respectable and you will instantly notice a change. | |
| Unsettled and considering changing stuff Roll some tubes!!!!!!!!! You can totally change the personality of your amp by new output tubes. If you want to keep it subtle, change some of the gain/pre tubes. | |
| My question is about bi or triamping. Have you thought of a nice 2 way crossover and a sub crossover? This may improve your options and keep the adcom only running the non-directional stuff. I would much rather hear the tubes for the whole vocal range and just let the adcom do what it... | |
| Newbie que on "recommended amplifier" rating I agree. You can never have too much "clean" power. 1 watt of distortion will do more damage than 200 clean watts. 1 thing you haven't looked at: Even though your speakers are 6 ohm which would increase the amp power (except with tube gear) to pro... | |
| best amplifier to drive my Quad 988 speakers I was over a friend's house and couldn't believe what he did: Got rid of 100 watt tube EAR amps for a 200 watt parasound. It sounded amazing! The parasound was a better match than the EARs. | |
| Which 12AX7 Tube? For the price I love svetlanas. Golden Dragons are nice too for new tubes. | |
| Amp hums when on same circuit as line conditioner Some conditioners can't work properly unless on a grounded 3 prong outlet. I know that I had a monster conditioner that stayed in protection mode but my adcom works fine. Contact furman. You may have to get a different conditioner. By the way, for... | |
| Coincident Partial Eclipse vs Totem Forest You also need to compare efficiency, size, weight, placement. The coincidents are amazingly efficient with great imaging, and an unbelievable range. How many watts are you using/need? The only downfall of owning the coincidents is that they will r... | |

| home theater help I went through a lot and ended up loving my Anthem stuff. | |
| Looking for spkr suggestions Do you love the wide dispersion of the DCMs? If so, eliminate the 1.6s which have a very narrow sweet spot. I think the PSBs are dogs. Consider the 2CE or Kestrals. B&W is always nice and if inefficiency doesn't matter, the NHTs image well. Yo... | |
| Round 2: Tubes amps, no ss discussion 3 possibilities I can think of:1-change to a more aggressive tube, ie GE vs mullard2-go to a powered sub/crossover running between the pre and amps. This will give a ton more power and shouldn't be an audible difference crossed below 100hz. Accord... | |
| Home Theater processor opinions Anthem AVM-2 or AVM-20. I've gone through a lot and swear by these. | |
| How to interpret the readings from tube tester? It depends on which tube tester is being used. Eico, Hickock, B&K, SICO all have different values. Also, good testers test for more than just tube strength. It gets quite confusing. That's why I would suggest buying from a reputable dealer if ... |
