| 6SN7 based Pre-Amplifier I have listened to Antique Sound Lab Flora EX DT and liked it. If you have not tried it yet, you may want to give it a try.One thing about 6SN7 is that it is very tube dependent. I am still searching for a 6SN7 that is good for vocal, Jazz, and Cl... | |
| RadioShack Sound Meter Rives Audio Test CD has a 2nd set of tones that have been calibrated for RS meter. | |
| Lack of depth problem The coupling caps in the NP100 are Jensen oil caps and have been there for 6 months. So I think they should have broken in already. V-caps do take a long time to break in. I have a pair of V-caps in my 300B SET amp and they took 400 hours to break... | |
| Lack of depth problem Thanks all again. Let me talk about my room first, then to my electronics, and then speaker placement.I think my room is damped just about right. The clap test shows just a tiny bit of echo. I have invited two high-end audio store owners to my hou... | |
| Lack of depth problem Let me state my setup more and start with electronics first.CD: ModWright Denon 3910 player with Bendix 6900s and Mullard Blackburn 5AR4Preamp: BAT VK-3iX with Sixpak and Superpak upgradesPower amp: Counterpoint NP100 hybrid power amp and voiced t... | |
| Cary SLP-05 - rectifier tube questions Ask the owner. If the tube was really a Blackburn 5AR4, it should be good. I have 6 5AR4s in different logos and they all sound good. | |
| Cary SLP-05 - rectifier tube questions The best Mullard 5AR4 was made in their Blackburn factory in the UK. I have one in my 300B SET amp and another one in the external power supply for ModWright Denon 3910 player. I have also tried various 5AR4 tubes in my 300B SET amp. The closest o... | |
| Lessloss PC for digital source or power amp? I got my Lessloss PC! It is indeed a great PC. I first used it on my HT power amp (200WX7) for a couple of hours for the initial burn-in. Then I moved it to my 2-ch equipment.It is everything as advertised: blacker background, more focused sound, ... | |
| Has anybody compared Lessloss and Shunyata pcs Have you used Lessloss PC in the power amp? Thanks. | |
| Has anybody compared Lessloss and Shunyata pcs How does that Lessloss cable compared to your Shunyata? Where do you use them? | |
| musical subwoofer recommendation for 2-ch It turned out that I had set the subwoofer gain too high. Later on I used a Rives CD to generate tones and caliberated the gain and phase of the sub to match up the main speakers. Thanks all who suggested that I should keep the Velodyne SPL-1500R.... | |
| Moving away from tubes. Is this a good idea? I second Bob's recommendation. If you like all kinds of music, a hybrid amp is the way to go, IMO. I still have a 300B SET amp, and it is for my home office. I also have a pair of KT88 monoblocks and they are for my bedroom. For my main listening ... | |
| musical subwoofer recommendation for 2-ch My Velodyne is getting much better after I use the high level inputs connected directly to the speakers and set the cross-over at its lowest value, 40Hz. This is the recommended approach of REL subs. I noticed a higher distortion level when I play... | |
| musical subwoofer recommendation for 2-ch Will smaller REL subs be more articulate than bigger ones? | |
| musical subwoofer recommendation for 2-ch Thanks all who are the supporters for Velodyne. I really like it too. But it does not have separate inputs for HT and 2 channel music. With Velodyne, you can use either the line level input or high level input, but not both at the same time. Addit... |
