1: OTL Asylum, RE: The greater amount of power is consumed when the amps are full on (0.00)
Posted by Ogh on 2023-08-18, 23:14:57 (178.232.181.33)
I have not measured the watt draw at Standby, vs On. I can testify that Ralph's advice to gently break in tubes by placing them for 72 hours on Standby only, is correct. My RCA NOS output and other NO .......

Thank you Ralph. This is much like I thought: standby times eats up driver tube life, but not much output tube life. Anyway I am changing my routine, or fixing it, so that I don't get distracted by th .......

Posted by Ogh on 2023-08-18, 05:01:55 (178.232.181.33)
I am very happy with my MA-1 amps, over the last ten years, upgraded to 3.2 version. Better tubes pay off, not only the driver tubes but also the output tubes, so I have liked the sound better with NO .......

It is not a case of some truth written in stone - like analog is best. This would be like repeating the CD slogan "perfect sound forever". The terrain is changing, and we need to adjust the map. ::: T .......

I recently invested in a better digital chain, and I am satisfied with my new Teac NT-505. Analog - direct LP playback - is still king to my ears (with a good analog playback chain). DSD digital comes .......

Hi Chip647, thanks. I haven't opened my Jade, but I guess the cracked solder is on the other side (top side) of the board. Thats what happened a few years ago. The repair shop said they couldnt fix it .......

I need to get this OTL amp fixed due to problems with cracked soldering. Any other upgrades you would suggest, while its in for repair? The Audiotailor Jade is a small headphone OTL amp, I use it main .......

I can confirm that speaker matching is centrally important to get the best of the MA-1 amps. I tested speakers and although many sounded OK they didn't sound optimal. I ended up buying Audiokinesis Dr .......

Same here. I changed the 28 output tubes in my Ma-1s to RCA 6AS7G. I gave them 72 hours of burn-in (standby). 2 of the 28 failed quite soon, but the rest have been running for close to two years with .......

Posted by Ogh on 2016-12-21, 10:04:17 (84.213.186.63)
I agree with most comments regarding the DA-3000. Like I said, double DSD sounds best, and I see no reason to record from vinyl using a sub-optimal format. Input cables (good XLR) and everything else .......

Some more experience: I have used the DA-3000 for three years, recording some hundred LPs. It works fine. I also use it for playback, from a Seagate Wireless+ 2TB disk. I agree that dual speed DSD is .......

Forgot to mention the PH6 that I have borrowed for some weeks since the Aesthetix Io is down. At first I did not like it. Gradually I warmed up, or became more positive. The sound is quite different f .......

A friend of mine has the Manley Steelhead, preferring a Dynavector p-u I think. It seems flexible and sounds good, clear. Yet I prefer the sound of my own Aesthetix Io, especially after it was upgrade .......

Ralph at Atma-sphere gave me advice that may be relevant in your case also. I use MA-1 amps. My (nominal) 6 ohm speakers sounded too bright and hard due to an impedance peak at 2800 hz. I bought the c .......

Cousin Billy - thanks for wise words. No I have never tried a passive preamp. I had a Krell 250 pre which was outclassed by the Io, which was later brought to a stunning new level by the Eclipse upgra .......

Have anyone compared the MP-1 3.2 and the Aesthetix Io Eclipse? I own the Io. It sounds amazing after the Eclipse upgrade and works fine with MA-1s (3.2). But I have never heard the MP-1. .......

Sorry for not answering before. There was no speaker damage or loud transient. The cause was a faulty potmeter in my preamp, which sent spikes on to the amp - it has now been repaired, and everything .......

A warning against tube rolling - ideally we should check tubes before installing them, but as users we usually don't have the equipment to do this. I put in some NOS tubes in my preamp yesterday that .......
