| Has anyone tried Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 RCA IC? Yes, it is. | |
| Has anyone tried Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 RCA IC? "Yeah, $270.00."Good math, but poor logic. If I did not spend the $270, how could I have missed it? LOL....Nice try! :-) | |
| DIY? How to get feet wet? Find someone local who can review your work before you power on the unit. That may save you some frustration.I made my first diode AM radio from scratch when I was 11. If you can read, you can do it. I don't know how young you are. But if you are ... | |
| Which amp matches best my JM Lab Mezzo Utopia ? I would suggest that you need at least 100W with a transformer that can drive the bass woofer. I have a pair of JM Lab Alto Utopia and tried a few tube amps. Then I found that a hybrid amp is the best for these speakers.I am happy with my Counterp... | |
| rolling output tubes Yes, my question is about substituting EL34s for KT88s. Thanks. | |
| rolling output tubes I have rolled the input and driver tubes already. The stock tubes are probably Shuguang KT88s. I am using cryo'ed Gold Lion KT88s and they do sound better than the stock tubes. I found that it sounds more SS like if I increase the biases. Is this ... | |
| Solid state amp/Tube Preamp. Possible? I have a BAT VK-3iX preamp. When I first got it, I used it to drive Sim Audio amp as my main system. I was happy for awhile until I got my 2nd system, a 300B SET amp with more sensitive speakers. I found my 300B SET amp had more bass than my main ... | |
| Slight "Crackling" noise in right channel of amp I think your KW500 uses 6SL7s in the preamp section. These tubes have high gain and are not as quiet. Do follow the suggestion of swapping tubes from side to side. If the noises follow the swapping, then it is quite obvious.If the noises are indee... | |
| Should I get a new amp? Congrats! Hybrids are the ways to go for JM Focal speakers! I would take up Blindjim's suggestion and find some tubes with more harmonics. These speakers are on the dry and polite side.... | |
| Ultimate test of your system image I got mine from Amazon too and paid less than $15 for it. I ripped the CD to my PC and use Logitec Transporter to play it. The surround sound effect is still there.It is really a fun CD to own. Nice music too.Rodman, ask for a replacement! | |
| Should I get a new amp? Audio hobby is a journey. If you agree to that, it may be a good idea to find an amp that allows you to experiement various things of a tube amp. Then you can gain knowledge and develop your own preference. Treat it as a stepping stone to reach yo... | |
| Should I get a new amp? I agree with others who stated that JM Focal speakers can use the harmonics from tube amps. I have another SS power amp, rated at 200Wpc/8ohms and 400Wpc/4ohms, and my Alto Utopias sound a bit dry with it.So I ended up with a completely redone Cou... | |
| Should I get a new amp? Cyclonicman, my Alto Utopia is also 91dB. I have a pair of 50Wpc KT88 monoblocks for my 2nd system. They are not enough to drive my Altos. Cello sounds like violin! LOL.... | |
| Should I get a new amp? I have JM Focal Alto Utopia speakers. These are not easy-to-drive speakers as their impedance goes down from 8 ohms to about 3.5 ohms for lower frequencies. This means that the amp needs to do more than double the current at the lower freq., which... | |
| Antique Sound Labs AQ1003DT opinions wanted I tried AQ1001DT, 1003DT, and 1005DT at home and ended up buying the 1005DT. The AQ1003DT sounded way too euphonical to my ears.Read other reviews about their reliability issues. |
