| I have no idea what these speakers are worth No doubt people think differently. A couple of years ago, I had a nice quad of RCA 6L6GC black plate tubes, and putting them up for auction, there would have been plenty of bidders jumping at the chance to buy them, probably bringing serious money... | |
| Preamp for mc275le. Need advice, please Absolutely agree with Lewinskih01, as technology with preamps and amps is very mature, so what you get today will likely be just as satisfying in the future. DAC's are digital technology that is ever changing, and will continue to do so. Since you... | |
| Help - Listening fatigue try the 4 ohm tap.Absolutely agree, as this has been discussed numerous times in many threads. The 8 ohms of a speaker is the nominal rating, however it varies as the speaker plays due to different frequencies. I have read that many Paradigm speak... | |
| Debating between Hybrid and Tube Integrated Amp Mesch, my comment about tubes was in regard to the statement in the OP. I found a picture of the 237 with the top cover off, and it does appear they are in sockets, however, as you said, check it out to be sure. | |
| Infinty IRS Delta woofer cable connection Looking at page 3 here, there is a jumper wire between the plus of the control woofer and the minus of the slave woofer. Then referring to page 2, the minus of the control woofer and plus of the slave woofer are connected to the crossover, so woof... | |
| I have no idea what these speakers are worth Agree with all the other posts. I would have your wife prepare his favorite home cooked meal for hauling them away. | |
| Debating between Hybrid and Tube Integrated Amp I agree, tough decision for an all tube integrated amp and small children.I also love the idea that the first 10 watts are all tube before the solid state takes over.I think you may be confused about this. The tubes are in the preamp, and the soli... | |
| B&W Matrix 801 Series II Wemfan, hopefully you could sense I am a big fan of products from Nelson Pass in my 1st post on 3-29-14. As far as the X350, this is one of the original "X series" introduced, then came the "X.5 series", with the "X.8 series debuting in the last f... | |
| Need to upgrade but what to get need advice Adding the Jolida tube preamp to your system as previously stated should work great.IMHO, your NHT 2.5i speakers are just not that suitable for a tube amp, although one could work. It would probably need to be at least 100w/ch which could easily e... | |
| has anyone else experience this..... Al, thanks for your comments, as that makes me feel better about my 752. I have had it for quite a few years, and over that time the results have always seemed to be consistent.Also, some of my tubes came from my dad's shop, as he was a radio/TV s... | |
| has anyone else experience this..... Al, you're welcome. Always glad to provide helpful information.The Brent Jesse site also has a lot of other good info about vintage tubes, as well as some instructional videos identifying certain vintage tubes. The following websites have many pic... | |
| has anyone else experience this..... I agree with Al, that NOS should mean the tube has not been used in anyway whatsoever, however this is usually not true in so many cases.Here are a couple of good articles by Brent Jessee about NOS tubes,NOS Tubes: New Old Stock or Nasty Old Stuff... | |
| Need to upgrade but what to get need advice Vic, in my previous posts, I was very specific about music listening being stereo, 2 channel only, and Thirsty93 did not respond with an objection. The use of a stereo preamp with HT bypass will completely separate stereo music listening from the ... | |
| B&W Matrix 801 Series II I agree that a second MC275 might be an option, however, it should be identical to the one you currently have. Looking at the Berners McIntosh Site, you can see that there are 9 different versions of the MC275. While some may sound the same, it is... | |
| Magnepan DWM problem TrytoneWith particularly strong bass notes (Cut Chemist-The Audience's Listening CD-track 2 & 3)at a robust (but not as loud as I might one day choose) volume.The problem only occurs with this type of bass note at this very healthy volume.03-2... |
