| Life of KT 150 Tubes @decooney - It’s been 2 weeks since I dropped of the Amps at the Dealer. So far no word yet . Dealer did mention amps will be sent to his Tech and it will take 4 weeks at the least. Dealer did say he received the schematics from Auris and the cas... | |
| Life of KT 150 Tubes @Larryi - Lesson Learnt well, unlike Tube preamp which is self biasing , I agree that swapping popped tubes could have damaged my Other Amp. It could be a blown fuse or a resistor, but damn this unit requires an experienced tech to even open it.... | |
| Life of KT 150 Tubes @boomerbillon - where do you draw the line for 'Driving the amp Hard'. I am following the instruction as per manual and the engineer to specifically have the mU between 55-60, driving 8 ohms focal Sopra 3 speaker. My volume is never past 25-30% o... | |
| Life of KT 150 Tubes As you guys seem so knowledgeable . Let me tell you this. When I turned on my pre and monos , left Chanel was not working , checked the input and out , everything was good. I did get a faint burnt smell on the left unit. Left unit had signal comi... | |
| Life of KT 150 Tubes @jasonbourne52- “Forget those new design KT150 tubes! Only use 6550/KT88's. These have proven reliability - and a lot more affordable! JJ in Slovakia makes good ones.” JJ6650 is 1.6 amps where as KT 150 is 2.3 Amps. I am sure it will work as I ... | |

| Life of KT 150 Tubes @decooney- I have spoken with the engineer at Auris and he specifically said to adjust bias 55-60 mA.I have tried 45 mA no difference to my ears. Never tried KT 120, engineer Said not to. Thanks for your input | |
| Life of KT 150 Tubes @Lewm- As I mentioned, I know both units have an issue. It could have been a tube popped, that is ruled out even with new tubes there is no Biasing. My issue is I don't have an authorized tech near me . Spoken to couple of Vale Techs locally... | |
| Life of KT 150 Tubes @lLoydc - "You should buy US-made amps". yes, if you are in North America and more so if you are in the US. I would say before buying check for local authorized center. It is a personal preference that I like European , but comes with a price in... | |
| Life of KT 150 Tubes @Helmholtzsoul - Blowing the fuse is my first Guess, and next is blowing the resistor. To check the fuse unit needs to be opened. Did talk to experienced vale tech, locally, he said he wouldn't even open it without schematics. I certainly would... | |

| Review: Naim Uniti Atom vs Tube Separates/Chord Digital System I just migrated to Naim separates - NAC252 with super cap power and NAP 300DR with 300 PSU with Focal Sopra 3 speakers. It sounds so life like , almost feel the performer in front of me. Its everything I wanted in my long journey of Hifi. It d... | |
| Best speaker cable for Focal Sopra 3 With my Naim Separates NAC252 and NAP300 DR and Sopra3 - I was using transparent music wave super and it was a tiny bit on the warmer side over all it was well balanced , switched to Chord Sarum T, noticed the presence of more details on the mid... | |
| Which solid state power house: Naim NAP 500DR or McIntosh MC611? I just switched to Naim 300 DR with 300 DR PS and NAC 252 with supercap power, using Linn Klimax DSM for digital front, Sopra N3 speakers. It has added a new dimension to my listening. Very detailed, forward sounding, timing is superb. vocal is a... |
