| When a power cord could obviously affect SQ @retiredaudioguy @invalid @erik_squires As you say Erik, live and learn, thanks for that Invalid you are absolutely correct! So the heater and the cathode are one and the same on all 2A3s. I was able to find this schematic for a Sun Valley amp ... | |
| When a power cord could obviously affect SQ @retiredaudioguy that’s interesting, are there any that you know of that might have a schematic posted online. I have built 4 tube anmps nowv and I just don’t see how that works. Unless we are possibly miscommunicating. There is AC going to the ca... | |
| When a power cord could obviously affect SQ @retiredaudioguy He is supplying a pair of his preferred cables and he points out that the 2A3s’ cathodes are fed directly from the mains transformer. It's a good sign he comped the cables to you for sure! I wonder if shielding is what he th... | |

| Things you did not know about what is inside your speakers and the Huge markups I suspect there is a fair amount of truth in the story the videos tell but these videos also are representative of the AI slop that is permeating YouTube. I have trouble putting much faith in any videos that don’t have a real live presenter. It do... | |

| Sent a link to my system to ChatGPT... @searchingforthesound I think that is a more useful analysis, do you concur? If you did add in the "using the best data available" bit in the initial query it would then subtract the statements built on other people’s opinions, which you said you ... | |
| Sent a link to my system to ChatGPT... @tcutter comparisons like this make me appreciate that the old timers had things pretty well figured out. where we are making more progress these days I think is in our appreciation of the importance of room acoustics. Of course we also have gaine... | |
| Full Range Driver Recommendations Wanted I’m not sure why you would want to go to the trouble of building an elaborate enclosure like that and then not install the driver that it was designed for. Not to throw a monkey wrench in your plan but Wodan Designs offers plans for a full range o... | |
| Sent a link to my system to ChatGPT... @searchingforthesound If you are up for it try this. Delete your previous query so Chat GPT does not remember what it just told you. Then preface your new query about your system with something like this; "Give me the no holds barred honest truth... | |
