| $$$Sensitive Speakers with $$Amps? Kennythekey, in what part of the country are you located?Since you have the motivation to visit Jeff Catalano, I fully encourage you to do so. You'll have an absolute blast! Jeff's a great guy, representing some of the more interesting yet least e... | |
| $$$Sensitive Speakers with $$Amps? My Horning speakers don't do so well with SET 300B, or even PSE, as the dual 12" woofers never get the power they're looking for. I've long wanted to try the 300B based push-pull VAC Renaissance products with them, and see what comes of that.Rethm... | |
| Jadis OR bias value for Mullard RL34 and KT88 help If you've reached the 100 hour mark, I think you're now hearing what the tubes are going to do."I am considering playing with the bias a little. I have it at 110mv now and was thinking of going to the recommended extremes of 90 and 120mv. What do ... | |
| $$$Sensitive Speakers with $$Amps? I own a pair of Hornings, the product previous to the Aristoteles, that I use in my second system. Given their resolution, the quality of amplification certainly does make a difference. My opinion regarding amps that retail for $20K - 40K is they ... | |
| Why is the market for used Levinson amps so slow? Agree with the above two posts.Beyond anything ML specific, most who sell on this site have bemoaned to me that the collapse of Audiogon this year has mostly brought the used market machine to a halt. | |
| Jadis OR bias value for Mullard RL34 and KT88 help Doctor, I would say you have more knowledge in terms of the 12AX7 and 5751 than I.While I do feel the Sylvania 5751 Grey Plates have a bit more thunder down under, as you had also thoroughly evaluated the GE 5 Star and RCA variants, your insight a... | |
| Jadis OR bias value for Mullard RL34 and KT88 help Doctor, did you find the TungSol 12AX7 superior to the Shuguang 12AX7B? If so, that's quite a statement. | |
| Pubul57- audiophile, philosopher, and friend I've been meaning to ask how his family is holding up, Audiodynamo. Can you provide an update, please?At any rate, if you do have contact with them, please let them know Paul is in our thoughts and prayers. | |
| Jadis OR bias value for Mullard RL34 and KT88 help Glad to hear the EL34 are improving. Here's hoping they get to where you hope.The speakers I've paired up most with my JOR are Coincident, about 91 db/W. I've also had the Gemme Tantos - the first iteration, where the cabinetry was done in Canada,... | |
| Jadis OR bias value for Mullard RL34 and KT88 help I think you should be fine with the Mullards, Mattzack2.The one thing I would say is to not put more than one variable in play at a time (Scientific Method), so that you can accurately assess the effect of each change. In other words, you should g... | |
| Jadis OR bias value for Mullard RL34 and KT88 help The official bias settings for whatever tubes you use in the JOR are 90 - 120 mV, with 110 mV considered the preferred target.As you noticed, at 10 mV, there is hardly any current flowing through the tube, and to draw an analogy with water, the va... | |
| KT120 transformer failures Sovtek had made a decent living producing the worst sounding tubes in the industry. The surprise would be if you didn't find you're happier now with something else.A lot of OEMs, who keep the brand in business, use Sovtek because of the pricing an... | |
| rip mca, beastie boys rapper Sad news, sad way to go.I hope he and those close to him are able to find rest and comfort. | |
| Tube replacement for Dynaco ST 70 Firstly, I would encourage you to contact Will Vincent himself.But my understanding is that his amps are incredibly close and true to the original Dynaco ST70. That being the case, this should not be considered a heavily modified unit.Most would c... | |
| tubed sacd players under $5000 Knowing Mrtennis' penchant for warm sound, as much as I respect the Modwright, it would not suit the bill. The Linn is more a possibility. Given the small number of SACD players, and even smaller count that would meet the mark, I'm thinking this w... |
