| Trelja's new tube amplifiers - Granite 860.1 Eldartford, you are making two very dangerous assumptions. I will remind you of the old adage about when we assume. You have no idea on either count as to whether my input signal is flawed or whether the amps are correcting it. You have never hear... | |
| KT90 experience? Jfacker, the KT90s sound just like the two things you heard. More power, bass, neutrality, and "solid stateness" as compared with the KT88 tubes.Bartokfan, one thing to keep in mind is that comparisons should be made using equal numbers of tubes. ... | |
| Will I notice improvement with crossover mods? I'm rolling on the floor, Eldartford - good one! Yes, they sure are expensive... | |
| Trelja's new tube amplifiers - Granite 860.1 Spencer, good points! We need to hear that CAT you are playing with next time. Also, Joe G.(Slipknot1) may have his Supratek at that time, so we can also try it. You may remember that two weeks previous, I felt the same way at Jim's, all the way u... | |
| Trelja's new tube amplifiers - Granite 860.1 Swampwalker, most seem to share your view on the JAN Philips 6922.Well, on Saturday, a bunch of us got together and had a great time. With the Merlins, we compared the Granites sans preamp, and the Berning with and without a Joule LA150 preamp.Fir... | |
| Refinish speaker in different color While I agree that this is a difficult feat, and NOT worth the effort, it potentially could be done. As opposed to stripper, which you will need to remove the polyurethane, acrylic, or lacquer, you will need to bleach the wood to remove the stain.... | |
| Will I notice improvement with crossover mods? I also agree with the resistor thing. What I will add is that the refinement jumps up surprisingly. The grain and hash can be relieved with a mod that is about as inexpensive as things get. | |
| Will I notice improvement with crossover mods? Eldartford, while I don't know if a bigger coil, with its lower DCR, "measures" better, I do know that they seem to do magical things with the sound. Most people focus on the slam a bigger or better coil can produce, but the thing I hear even abov... | |
| resonance and sealed enclosures It looks like we're all in agreement.Most sealed designs come in between 0.7 and 1.0 when it comes to Q, with 0.77 problably being most common, due to the way people perceive the sound. | |
| Will I notice improvement with crossover mods? Well, I am not one to usually say "I told you so", but in this case, that tweeter NEEDED to go. Personally, I am of the opinion that the tweeter change should have happened prior to the crossover mods, but Sean will probably disagree. Fair enough.... | |
| Want more high frequency extension Very pertinent points you raise, Eldartford. While the Granite schematic is available to me, I have not asked for it, and do not have it. From their advertising, the amp is zero feedback, based on that setting. A switch controls whether the amp ru... | |
| Slipknot1 & friends in New York & Stereophile Here is the thread for you Joe. I'm "reviving" it now. | |
| Review of Dartzeel NHB-108 Amplifier Thank you for this thorough and insightful review, Hooper!I always appreciate it when someone here takes the time to share their experiences with a component. It adds to the knowledge and experience of all of us.You are wise to point out the trade... | |
| Want more high frequency extension Matty, the Green Mountain speakers are definitely NOT the problem. While I wouldn't call them bright, the word "engaging" comes to mind. Also, zero feedback tube amp are more forward than those with feedback, in my experience. The differences are ... | |
