There is absolutely nothing in Fane 8M specifications that is responsible for the diver sound. So, what is the purpose to ask about the new specifications?One might think that someone can use “specifications” as an assu...

It seems like lots of folks use parts to try to tune/voice their systems, and the V-Caps are just another option, IMO. No matter what people think of new parts as they break them in, they will eventually tire of the overall sound from...

Well, the DG Archiv had very few, or ever, “better moments” in term of recording quality. With Brandenburg Concertos on LP I have the same problem as you do. I have some recordings that I more or less like on LP but I never was comfortable with...

I am thinking again about “detail” in the context of this thread. The issue is which, what sort and/or how much/many detail[s] “should” we be able to hear at any given volume setting?
I have been guilty of enjoying details, etc. I knew were mo...

The Mravinsky’s and his orchestra trip to Austria in 1960 and this recording of the last 3 Tchaikovsky’s Symphonies are well known. I am sure any of us have a number of Italian pressed box-sets with 3 records of this performance. Yes, the Mravinsky’s...

With all magnificence of the new 924++ DAC it have entered the second week of the Nichicon KZ playbook. It was completely predictable and highly expected and now the DAC sound very funny.

I must say that I have always thought the Cardas "Golden Ratio" schtick was pretty lame. So it was with no small measure of trepidation that I sent off a rather outlandish sum of money for two Cardas Golden Whatever 4.7 uF caps for th...

I run the driver tube at 170V @20mA. I don't think you need to run this tube at high current. It is very linear with wide signal swings at this bias. I can get roughly 70Vrms out of it. Output stage clips first, driver continu...

[quote user="floobydust"]Running the higher B+ voltage (350 volts) with a 1K cathode bias resistor and the 2.5K load results in higher distortion than the text-book operating point, which is B+ of 300 volts and a 750 ohm cathode biasing resistor and ...

Amir, I told of my own approach to wall power in other threads. Basically, I tried to make my gear as tolerant of AC variations as I could without simply smoothing everything over. My DAC runs on battery power. I modified the power supply and changed...

If I may add, from experience, following and including Romy's post above:1) In cases of established incompatibility with a average power SET, more output energy (55W), will not completely clear the above 2) and esp. make 3) less "muddy" or ...

Actually, Romy, it is simply that the tubes that came with the amp were not "good" in the sense that they were not doing their jobs. Period. You may remember the pulses through the speakers and how new input tubes cured the problem? ...

I have the Zu Druid's which Romy has referred to. I purchased the speaker's based on the presumption that their high sensitivity and impedance would be perfect to run SET amps. After having read the great success Arthur Salvatore had running the Fra...

Hi,
Having recently developed a deep interest in Violin Concertos (which might have been triggered by having recently attending a performance of Sibelius VC by Kavacos//Philadelphia/Eschenbach).
