| Burn-in time for a Shuguang 845B tube? Thanks Brf! I guess I still have to be take easy. Thanks for the advice about no letting the amp unattended. | |
| Is this enough power? Try both taps and use the one that pleases you most! In my set up I found the sound changes a bit been the 4 ohm tap the one I like most because the bass notes are more tigh and the music sound more "relaxed." | |
| Is this enough power? I drive my B&W CDM9NT´s with a Bel canto SETi 40 (845 tubes) which have a nominal impedance of 8 ohms (the impedance curve indicates that about half of the curve stays below 6 ohms!!). I lisen to rock and reggae at a moderate to high volume mo... | |
| Why some CDs sound way louder than others? Thank you all for your responses! Very clarifiying opinions. I do have a SACD player and you are right Reubent some sound really loud compared with the regular Redbook CDs. Thanks again! | |
| For 75-85 dB a few watts are enough so ... Thank all your for your responses! I got it know! Macd made a good point: it has to do with the logaritmic scale. Doubling the power does not mean to doble the perceived sound presurre level just a 3 Db increse. Thanks again. | |
| Short piece of spk wire sustitute for spk link? I have a single run of Audiquest type 6 that I can cut to replace the brass jumpers. Thanks for your respones! | |
| What do they mean for "long throw driver"?? Thank you for your responses. As I said I like my current set up and I don not want to ruin the speakers! I just think that the mid/woofer (5 1/2") of the Totem´s look kind of fragile. Thnaks again. | |
| Is the red glow normal for 845 tubes? Got an another answer from Matr Cramer at Bel canto. He says that "a dull red glow is normal for a 845 tube, but he recommends using a 845 tube with a 100W dissipation or they can fix the amp so that it can lower the dissipation rate as it prolong... | |
| Is the red glow normal for 845 tubes? I got another answer from Bel canto stating that the dull red glow from the graphite plate is normal and that the amp can drive just fine the 845 low dissipation tubes. Bel canto did not said anything regarding the amp bieas for a hight dissipatio... | |
| Is the red glow normal for 845 tubes? Good point Brf! He did not said anything regarding the low dissipation. I will ask him if the SETi 40 is biased for a standard 845 tube (100 W dissipation). | |
| Is the red glow normal for 845 tubes? I just got an answer from Mathew Cramer from Bel canto. He says that "the red glow is normal for this type of design" (SETi 40). So that settles everything down. Thank all for your help. Tiofelon. | |
| Is the red glow normal for 845 tubes? Thanks again Brf. I just run into an article in VTV (vacuum tube valley) where it says "graphite es heat-resistant (in fact, it can operate with a dull red glow for a long time without failing)" in power tubes like the 811 o 845. However a new set... | |
| Is the red glow normal for 845 tubes? Thank you Brf and Dopogue for your input! According to the manufacturer the dissipation rating for the Sino 845 is 70W. The amp is a self-bias so there is no need for adjustment. The tubes in question are Sino 845 (not B, C or W). I got the amp se... |
