| Subwoofer: should we even use them at all? Rhyno,Informative post indeed. | |
| How quiet is your Rogue Sphinx? Big_katydid,Glad to see that Mark got back to you. If he figures your amp is operating properly according to its environment then that would be good enough for me too.Regarding your comment about extra detail and solid state, all I can say is that... | |
| How quiet is your Rogue Sphinx? Big_katydid,I submitted a follow-up to my earlier note but it hasn't posted yet, so this reply may be redundant... we'll see which actually appears first.A minor correction to your question, my amp was one of a pair of M180 mono blocks rather than... | |
| How quiet is your Rogue Sphinx? Big_katydid,Regarding the hum you hear when you put your ear close to the amp, that may be normal. My Ayon Triton 1 has a very, very low hum that I can hear if I put my ear about six inches from the unit, but even then I have to listen closely. It... | |
| McIntosh to be on How It's Made this Thursday Wolf,Good one.I learned that one doesn't need to be concerned with fingerprints on the tubes. | |
| How quiet is your Rogue Sphinx? Big_katydid,I had a transformer hum issue with one of my M180 amps. I sent the amp back to Rogue and they replaced the transformer. After that the amp was fine for the entire time I had that system.Rogue said too that they'd apparently had some ba... | |
| Musical, high powered Amp under $1k If you come across a Denon PMA 2000IVR I would get it. It's conservatively rated at 80wpc into 8 ohms, 160 into 4 ohms, and puts out a prodigious amount of current. I always found it to be quite musical and a tremendous bargain. | |
| 25 watts Class A or 70 watts Class A/B ? Pani,I would certainly not pass up on a chance to audition the Ayon Crossfire should you have a chance. If its 30 wpc is enough for your needs, based on my experience with the brand I am confident you would find it to be an excellent component in ... | |
| KT-88 gold lions verses the new tung-sul kt-120 Jake,My experience with the KT-120 tubes in my former Rogue M180 monoblock system was that they were too heavy in the bass, not as extended in the top end, and a bit grainy. I quickly went back to the Gold Lion KT-88 tube set that I had been enjoy... | |
| audiphile power cords In my systems I also found that an audio grade outlet made a significant difference. I use a Wattgate outlet on a dedicated line that goes straight back to the panel box. When considering the audio grade outlet I A/B'd it with a regular outlet and... | |
| Sonic Difference between 6550 and KT88 tubes My experience is similar to Noromance. | |
| Does Separates really sound better than Integrated I agree, Elizabeth summed it up nicely. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Bill,Frederik responded here to my email quicker than I expected, but I should have known he would as I have always found him to be very helpful. And please ignore my previous post!Cheers,John | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Bill,You mentioned seeing some pictures of a sectioned Duelund CAST capacitor, are those pictures posted online? I wonder if it was one of the Mylar types but perhaps without the label visible. I also wonder if the resin matrix material could appe... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil As Roxy54 noted, it seems that both paper-in-oil and mylar are available:http://jeffsplace.me/wordpress/?p=3794 |
