| Volume problem with Passive Preamp If your volume control is a stepped-attenuator you can change values to make the steps closer in your desired listening range. This would take some work. Open your preamp and look what's inside. You could also change the attenuator to a model with... | |
| Anyone have experience with new Jolida power amp? Meskandar, I haven't done near as many mods to the 1501 but some. I had my 1501 in my office system but I just currently put it in the main system again to play around with.The 502 is a better amp in my system. But I have expensive caps throughout... | |
| Anyone have experience with new Jolida power amp? I've done mods to both of these units and I believe you are right. Some including myself like the 502 as just an amp instead of an integrated. It's only a matter of removing the 100k alps blue pot and adding a two resistor attenuator on each chann... | |
| Tube favorites for Modwright LS100? Hi Bob, I have used the Black Treasure KT-88's and I like them very much but never tried the CV 181. You might want to try the Chinese 6N8P-J military tube. They work well in my pre-amp and they are cheap. | |
| relationship between rec. and the other tubes? Because the 12AT7 is directly in the signal path it's obviously going to change the sound. But don't dismiss the rectifier as they can also change the flavor of the sound.Here is a thread about subs for the 5Z4p. I have never used this tube but I ... | |
| what brand of tubes to buy? Stanman is your friend just letting you use this piece of gear? I only ask because it wouldn't make to much sense to buy your friend new tubes unless you really like him. I wish I had more friends like you.Here is a link to an article that talks a... | |
| Stingray 120v to 240v Contact Manley directly and ask them. If the mains transformer is set-up for both voltages you only need to change a couple of wires. "Input wires to the transformer". Another option would be to purchase it in the U.S. and send it to Manley first ... | |
| Correct amp for Dynaudio Audience 42? You won't actually look at the specifications for an amp and be able to determine it's ability to drive speakers that like power. From my experience it's trial and reading others comments. As well as the manufacturers reputation. I used Krell, Bry... | |
| Correct amp for Dynaudio Audience 42? Eric I haven't used these particular Dynaudio's but I have owned two different models in the past. They do need a good quality power source to really shine. The watts doesn't determine the amps ability to drive speakers actually. It's the amps abi... | |
| EL34 in a 6550 amp? Hi Hoestner, To answer your question directly from experience. It can be made to work with both EL-34 and KT-88/6550 by changing 4 resistors in the bias circuit of the power-tubes. The 502 comes with 4 * 20 k ohm for biasing. These should be chang... | |
| 12ax7 tubes can be enterchanged with xxx tubes? the 5751 may or may not sound better to you. You will need to try them to see. 12au7 and 12at7 can be put in the 12ax7 but the circuit is not optimized for them. It shouldn't hurt anything thing if that is what your asking. Tubes are very subjecti... | |
| nixie tube watch I have to admit I really like tubes. But that watch is really ugly. | |
| Broken Xindax SCD-2 This link talks about replacing the transport and even has links to buying the transports on ebay. Good luckhttp://www.sa-cd.net/showthread/62665//y?page=first | |
| Broken Xindax SCD-2 Try writing to them at Xindak. I have wrote to them before and they answered a couple of questions I had. Here is their email: [email protected] | |
| Melody & Onix I guess I was wrong that Melody made all their electronics. But you guys should let the people know this is not the old British company. It is a Chinese company. It looks like they just outsource to whomever and place the Onix badge on it. Here i... |
