    Matching Preamps with amps

    Thank you guys for the quick reply. Im to meet the seller of the krell tomorrow and was concerned that the output of tube amps can be higher than SS and not be a good match. I know you want the load resistance to be higher. So 30 ohms into a 100k should not be a problem. I now feel more...

    Why does Leestereo insist on increasing power supply/decoupling capacitors?

    Thanks for reply Lee, With that said and the fact that i replaced the caps with the nominal values, ill replace them with the bumped up values you mentioned in your AU-717 restore thread. Ill go with the Nichicon UPW series better designed for pwr ckts. (wish i found AK before I started)...

    Why does Leestereo insist on increasing power supply/decoupling capacitors?

    aside from from cap size, the type appears also to be of importance . You mentioned low esr for the P.S Caps. I just replaced all the PS bd electros with nichicom fine gold caps. Mnfr doesnt state esr values on these . Was that a bad choice, should i swap them out again with those mentioned...

    I posted the flyer at the Stormville flea market in stormville, NY . There was a record seller there that agreed to post it. This place gets 1000s of people every Holiday weekend event. Note: at this event, I’ve never seen so many record sellers before. There were teenagers walking around...

    I did bring the flyer to Gerosa records and they agreed to post it. I told them to give me some business cards and I’ll have them on my table. They liked that. They have an enormous selection of vinyl.

    I still have the KLH stereo speakers, and they are killers, but I’m looking to show something new. I believe the 400cx has a true mono output on it and it only puts out 30 watts, so not sure its capable of popping any speakers. The Garrard TT is in process of restoration so I Haven’t verified...

    Glen,I think setting Demo times would be a great enhancement. Never been to any other show. But always thought it would be nice to have each individual demo their gear with all focused on one system at a time where the owner can tell us all about his system to the group.

    Tubeactive, I’ll bring the Fisher 400-CX and the SA-300B. I just picked up a Garrad RC88/4 and bought a GE VRII cartridge. my 78 mono collection is very weak at this point, so if you have some stuff to demo that would be great. I can bring my 1960 Altec Lansing 604C duplex or the 1957...

    Hey guys, see you’re planning a May 19th show. I think I can make that. I think this time I’ll leave the KLH 4-woofer speaker system home and go all vintage. I’ll bring the 1959 fisher tube system with a 1956 Stephen’s tru-sonic 15” duplex speaker (the sister to the Alec 604c) and a nice 1960...

    I agree it was another great time. Thanks to all who attended to make it a successful event. I like sounddragons idea where we can match components together for different sounds. It was nice hooking my KLHs up to DS200s Onkyo as well as last year connecting the fisher tube to Chris's ARs. I...

    Odd 4 woofer speakers. Possible white vans?

    Excellent thread. I have a pair from an estate sale. I brought them to an AK audio file gathering with my Fisher Sa-300b tube amp and 400-cx tube preamp. They were all amazed when they heard these freaky speakers. If I knew how to post the AK link of the event you'd see the pics and accolades...
