Browse the content of the threads in new Window  Thread: The “theories” about the audio industry…. in Audio Discussions  27 Replies 
I had a very rare for me opportunity to hear some live music this weekend. It was a Jazz trio, and in my judgement a very good one. I don't know or care what the PA equipment was, and the ballroom had a noticable echo. Once the musicians started p...

Romy, There are transmitter air caps available which can handle several killovolts. They aren't cheap, though, and may also be impractical due to their size. http://www.cardwellcondenser.com/PAGES/jcd.html Check out the Johnson capacitors, ...

Browse the content of the threads in new Window  Thread: 6C33C myths: audio Moronometr. in Melquiades Amplifier  3 Replies 
I can relate to your point about mating SETs with inefficient speakers. I guess since they don't sound overtly bad when they clip, some people feel they can be run with less dynamic headroom than SS amps require. The resulting compression probably ...

I've never tried anything but self bias. Do you think fixed bias is better in every case, or does it depend on the output tube? Paul...

I think I would relate my own DIY experience more with Colonel Aureliano Buendia making his golden fish. I have been tempted to ask you about listening methodology before this, but decided not to, think there probably isn't a formula. Paying atte...

If the high ac voltage of the Melquiades amp is what allows it to operate with the same coupling cap that doesn't work with the buffer, perhaps there is some hysteresis going on in the capacitor. In that case I think it may help to use a smaller cou...

My system is at a point that even hearing a system that does some things well stimulates me to improve the sound of my own system. I think one of the biggest challenges I face with audio is that of erroneous preconcieved notions of how it should sou...

Browse the content of the threads in new Window  Thread: How audio started…. in Audio Discussions  18 Replies 
I think the purpose of good sound is to bring us closer to music. But it seems that the usual method of evaluation tends to get in the way of that goal. I have found myself listening for details of what my system is doing to the music, and wondered...

I haven't heard of these tubes before, but a search of the data showed some pretty impressive specs. Are you using the input tube near the recommended current of 36ma. I've seen designs based on high gm tubes running at much lower current than the ...
