| JADIS ORCHESTRA As there are two connections, my guess is that the cap didn't just fall out because of a bad solder joint (do you see the tabs on it?). You'll most likely need to purchase a replacement 470 uF cap, and have it soldered in, while removing the remna... | |
| Tubes to Watts Ratio Kirkus, "60 watts from a quad of EL34s in Ultralinear is a bit conservative, but not by a huge margin . . . I'd say that a "70-watt" rating of the Marantz 9 is probably the most typical of what's found in a high-quality hi-fi amp with this output ... | |
| Ultralinear vs. Triode vs. SET Paul, I will preface my answer with the statement that due to the breadth of the hobby, one would think there are more pure pentode push-pull amplifiers available than I know of. But, the only two I can say with certainty are the legendary Quad II... | |
| Ultralinear vs. Triode vs. SET Ralph makes an excellent point in the inherent superiority of an amplifier employing triode tubes to one operating tetrode/pentode tubes in triode. However, Ralph's statement, "The result is an output section that that has nearly triode linearity,... | |
| CDP with minimal controls on front panel The Granite 650 and 657 players also have no buttons at all. I owned the 657, which added an additional (tube) output, and it always kind of scared me that I was completely dependent on the remote control, given how often a remote gets misplaced. | |
| Modwright sony xa 5400cd Rfogel8, "We ordered a pair of Sonys from a dealer recommended on AudioCircle and had them shipped direct to Modwright."Bob, long time, hope all is well. Being a scientist/engineer, I would have loved to hear your impressions had you gone the rout... | |
| Best speaker in the US $ 30-45.000,00 range Although I've not lived with them, the Wilson Sashas bowl me over in terms of their sonic attributes, have little in the way of peers in terms of fit and finish (I'll leave out aesthetics, being so subjective, though I really am crazy for them in ... | |
| Ordering cartridge from overseas Congratulations, Marty! What an inspiration!Given that most of the commentary regarding the ST70 replacement boards comes out of the advertising for them, how do compare the sound of the stock and VTA driver boards? Although I bought the VTA board... | |
| Ordering cartridge from overseas Like Viridian, I've ordered from Thakker in Germany, twice actually. Echoing everything Marty said, an extremely easy person to deal with, and goods were in hand in under a week. | |
| "What's Your Best Price?" I realize that my position here, which I am restating, is in the minority, but I've bought more than a fair amount of equipment here. More often than not, I've requested the seller's best price. And, more often than that, I would say the seller, t... | |
| Adding tubes to SS system-Tube Preamp Amp or Int? Agree 100% with The Doctor and the gentleman who introduced us, Sufentanil. I don't care where you put tubes in the system, in how many places, or how many tubes you have, you won't get that tube sound unless and until you have tubes in the power ... | |
| Rectifier tube keeps blowing Yes, a good suggestion, Ralph.Along that train of thought, you can also start the amp up without the rectifier tube plugged in. That lets you see where the bias is without (hopefully) the amp going down, and get it right if it's way out of whack, ... | |
| Rectifier tube keeps blowing You could use one of those 845s for the star at the top of the tree, Goldeneraguy! That thermionic beast would make one heck of a statement.Though I've got a really cool true 5 bulb star from the 1950s or 1960s on my tree, this seems like a novel ... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Paul, I'm hoping to make it down to the Baltimore area in two weeks for a benefit in the name of my dearly departed friend, John Potis. Perhaps, I can bring both the DA30 and DA60 down with me, and we can get together for a comparison on your spea... | |
| Rectifier tube keeps blowing Heyraz, yes, I absolutely decorate my Christmas tree with vacuum tubes. My wife thinks it's ridiculous, but I think it looks very cool. I used to know how to post a picture here, but have forgotten. I did the same thing back then when I replaced t... |
