| Sonic atributes ultralinear vs tetrode vs pentode Atmasphere, it's interesting you'd recommend a document that makes as many statements against so much of what you stand for as it does.For example, UL operation clearly more linear than triode versus your statement made in the post previous to pro... | |
| Sonic atributes ultralinear vs tetrode vs pentode Al, as always, I appreciate your perspective. Thank you.I do not consider 0 wpc an endpoint because the only time a tube amplifier, regardless of triode, UL, or pentode connection, would (practically) meet that figure is when it's shut off. And, o... | |
| Sonic atributes ultralinear vs tetrode vs pentode Atmasphere, regarding the triode/UL/pentode (20/40/60 wpc) relationship, you've now repeated what I've put forth, not once, but multiple times. This calls to mind the exchanges of Bugs Bunny and Yosemite Sam.That might be funny except that you sti... | |
| Good tube amp kit for sale these days Another vote for Bob Latino. Also, please do not overlook Dynakit Parts, who offer the original ST70. I've twice dealt with Kevin there, and like Bob Latino, he's excellent to work with. The ST70 kit from Triode Electronics seems very good as well... | |
| Sonic atributes ultralinear vs tetrode vs pentode Thank you, Mike.Jolidas are fixed (adjustable) bias. Some of the Cary offerings are cathode bias like the AES Superamp, and are considered to fall more on the lush and full-bodied side of things; some of their other products can be more forward.Mc... | |
| Which companies deserve a star for Christmas Patrick Calmettes of Jadis and Mark O'Brien of Rogue Audio certainly also deserve mention. | |
| Sonic atributes ultralinear vs tetrode vs pentode Mike, so often, it's the loudspeakers that are the culprit in an amplifier coming across as hard. However, that's an argument for another time and place, so let's continue to focus on the amplifier.In today's world, there are scant few examples of... | |
| Sonic atributes ultralinear vs tetrode vs pentode Atmasphere, "If we take 60 watts as being 100% of power, 40 watts is then 2/3 of that, or 'most of the power' as I stated above. I don't see that being significantly different from your position."Your understanding is fatally flawed. I'm not sure ... | |
| Sonic atributes ultralinear vs tetrode vs pentode Atmasphere, you've done nothing to address my refutation of your quote regarding Ultralinear operation giving "most of" what both triode and pentode offer.As I initially said, the subject at hand represents yet another case of simply splitting the... | |
| Sonic atributes ultralinear vs tetrode vs pentode Atmasphere, "Ultralinear allows the tubes to approach triode linearity, while retaining most of the power that Tetrodes (or Pentodes) otherwise make."Unfortunately, in audio like life, there is no free lunch. In reality, ultralinear splits the dif... | |
| Budget Chinese Tube amps - any good? I actually was the importer for one of the Chinese brands mentioned above for several years. Obviously, there are a lot of stories to be told about that.In general, I would say that if you are going to buy one Chinese high-end audio product, it wo... | |
| stripped allen wrench screws I've normally have found success without having to go as far some of the above suggestions, even if they are salient.What I recommend you try first is to switch from metric to SAE or vice versa. More often than not, you can go up a tad in size for... | |
| Upgrade from Audio Physic Virgos to ??? I'd love to hear the Caldera.The Virgo II indeed are incredibly good speakers. I hear a lot of newer loudspeakers with higher pricing and a lot of panache that don't make music the way the Virgo II do.Also, the second (I think) iteration of the Te... | |
