| How do I break in a tube amplifier? Well, I managed to get the on and off sequence backwards, but it seems to survive. I did get right at 3 hours of listening (not all 100% supervised) and plan to sleep for at least 3 hours so should be able to comply with that rule at least this ti... | |
| Objective vs. Placebo relating to system changes And my room is ever so slightly different now. There is a bookself on the right side on the wall in front of the subwoofer. The small shelf on the left is now gone and the rug is a bigger size of the same. Space is limited. The extra bookshelf is ... | |
| Objective vs. Placebo relating to system changes Tls49 - I would love to have my speakers out from the wall, but with two under three in a small house the options are very limited just like my time to critically listen. I have heard my speakers connected to a much better system in a much better ... | |
| Objective vs. Placebo relating to system changes Zd542 - The point of my admission of sort kones and speakers wires was intended to give some credibility that I don't "condem" people for purchasing upgrades and have myself purchased a few things that I can't even convince myself 100% that it's r... | |
| How do I break in a tube amplifier? I have pre-amp outputs available, the concern that I had was having two points of volume control. My EE buddy reminded me that I just needed to the the receiver volume at 0db and the input signal should effectly pass through without attenuation. | |
| Objective vs. Placebo relating to system changes I'd love an opportunity to be convinced, but my location is not near either of you that offered. My issues relating to sciece are primarily when the science used to market audio equipment is obviously flawed or just unrelated. I don't expect every... | |
| How do I break in a tube amplifier? Yogiboy - The primary reason is that I only have a 1,200 sq-ft house and the WAF alone would prevent me from having multiple sets of speakers in the same room. Plus, giving up my good speakers for blu-ray would be a very poor choice because both m... | |
| How do I break in a tube amplifier? Yogiboy - I'm strongly considering doing this, but the audiophile in my struggles with the idea of something unecessary in the signal path.Wolf_garcia - Will the tape outputs bypass the preamp in the receiver? I did figure out the setting last nig... | |
| How do I break in a tube amplifier? The amp I'm getting has a soft start feature.Any major issue connecting my receivers pre-outs to the tube integrated other than having two volume controls? I'm exploring options for not having to swap speaker cables back and forth as much. | |
| Objective vs. Placebo relating to system changes I think a lot of my skepticism is directly related from understanding enough of the related science, or having friends that do, to understand how misleading a lot of the "science" manufactures give to support their products. Some of it is just wro... | |
| Objective vs. Placebo relating to system changes Zd542 - I realize that I'm asking somewhat unanswerable questions, but the intent is to make people think about how sure they are about the difference they hear.I have Nordost Sort Kones under my SACD player and after several attempts to prove to ... | |
| How do I break in a tube amplifier? Considering I can't leave the tube amp on without speakers connected and I only have one pair of speakers that need to be connected to my home theater system the majority of the time it'll be hard to leave it on for more than a few hours at a time... | |
| How do I break in a tube amplifier? I was going to verify that I could leave it alone when turned off as I would rather have an iPod if I have to carry it with me.I'm aware that heat cycling the unit has the potential to shorten it's life, but once it has reached a steady state oper... | |
| How do I break in a tube amplifier? As a follow up question. I know that tube amplifiers need to warm up before sounding their best, but is it necessary to warm them up to avoid damage? If so, what's a general guideline for doing so? | |
| Digital Source with Tube Amplification Onhwy61 - I absolutely believe that there's some truth in almost every caveat that is mentioned, but my point is that these types of things should be assumed and unecessary to bring up in every post.For example:Jmcgrogan2's post could have simply ... |
