| Tube measurement question... Thanks for the great explanation. Makes perfect sense...really appreciate it. | |
| Tube measurement question... FWIW here are the specs from the PSVANE ACME 300b site for this tube. I was looking at the below spec for Ia...which is 60 mA...and then looking at the handwritten measurements on the box which said Ia = 80 mA and trying to figure out what that m... | |
| Tube measurement question... Thanks..so I checked my manual and (copied below) are their notes on calibration...basically no bias to set. I don't hear any volume difference between left and right channel...everything sounds great. I'm still confused now on what these meansu... | |
| Tube measurement question... Thanks...yes, the numbers are handwritten. The spec sheet that I can view from the PSVANE site says the tubes are 60 mA and the handwritten numbers on the outside of the box say they are actually 80 mA. But perhaps measuring the tubes under diff... | |
| Tube measurement question... Thanks, guys, so if I understand correctly then first it's not an issue because my preamp can handle the extra current. I imagine that if my gear couldn't handle the extra current it would probably blow the fuse. Also, it sounds like the plate c... | |
| Tube-Curious/Pre-amp I think you have a number of good options to delve into the tube space. FWIW, I'm using a SS amp (Electrocompaniet AW250R) along with a tube pre (Manley Neo Classic 300b) and absolutely love it. Can't really say whether all tube would be better ... | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @lalitk Appreciate the advice. Incremental changes sound like a sound path forward. Since I got a nice bump recently with my N200 I'll wait a couple months and then start experimenting with ethernet and power. Will definitely give the ENO a t... | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. @lalitk Very interested to hear more about ethernet tinkering. Not sure if that would be a new post or whether it makes sense to tag onto this discussion. As you can see I don't post a lot...not that I'm not interested...simply that my experie... | |
| Streamer upgrade? follow up. Great post...thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience recently and was thinking about how to share the revelation. I believe you've described it pretty well. Up until about two weeks ago I was feeding my Lampi Baltic 3 DAC from my iMac usi... | |
| Advice needed on power cables, wall warts, conditioning, electrical outlet I'm in a similar situation as OP. Over the past year I've upgraded every component and now have a very nice sounding system with Electrocompaniet AW250R, Manley Neo Classic 300B pre, Lampizator Baltic 3 DAC, Clearaudio turntable w/ Nagaoka 500 ca... | |
| Anybody use a single ended component with one that is balanced? Yes, I'm running a SE pre-amp (Manley Neo Classic 300b) with a fully balanced XLR amp (EC AW250R) and it sounds amazing. I had AudioArt cables build me a pair of XLR/RCA interconnects. Also, prior to purchasing I sent emails to both Manley and E... | |
| Cable Management Tips and Tricks Call me crazy but I did some cable management work last night based on suggestions in this post. Basic stuff...got the speaker wires off the floor and separated them from power cords and interconnects. Re-routed some of the interconnects so they... | |
| Love my new amp and pre-amp Thanks, everyone, for the support and ideas. I have the feeling I have a pretty nice setup but probably you'll know what I mean when I say it's hard to tell how much better it can get. I thought I had kind of hit the limit of what my gear could ... |
