Re: Nordost Heimdall 2 interconnects and power cable

Great advice Admin, Right when twisted cables could make an inductor. If the cable is too long, "S" or snake shape is recommended. I did reverse my speakers amp connection, because the ET-7V2 does has inverted phase. Also, with Audirvana or the HQPlayer, there is an option where I have che...

Re: Nordost Heimdall 2 interconnects and power cable

IMG_8542.jpg Mine is model SPM Reference. It is bi-wire configuration. I really like a lot Nordost Cable. Yes, out there are fantastic cables with good quality sound for a fraction of these cables. This is a good thing too. Remember the laws: Your ears are the final judges, if you liked what you we...

Re: CJ LP70S

Tube liking...that's a matter of taste, like who likes garlic and others hate garlic. I am with Admin. The KT-120 is the 6550 newer design. I has more power dissipation, and has an incredible bass control. The bass is robust and tight! The definition is truly live like. Also, the midrange is outstan...

Re: CJ LP70S

The 6550s pin array is different to the EL34s. They are NOT direct interchangeable. The difference in not only the plate bias current. Is the pin array too. Look for the pin out for each tube. You will see the difference. the third grid on the 6550 is connected to the cathode, pin no. 8 and the thir...

Re: Oh! For the love of tubes!

As I always keep saying: let your ears decide...and still, no matter what, the sound of the tubes are the final winner for my ears. Yes, there are some SS well crafted and I do like their sound, I must get accustomed to the way that they sing. The bass usually is much better on SS, I admit this. But...

Re: Right fuses for MF2300? Frustrated with CJ lack of help

Here is what the manual says regarding the fuses: Fuses: There are 5 fuses in the MF2000 Series Amplifiers. One is the ac power line (mains) fuse. It is located in a fuse holder near the power cable. The other four fuses are in the main DC power supplies. On the MF2200 and MF2300, these are located ...

Re: Bias lights not working on LP70S

Well, the trick is to have the four LEDs into their position, wiggling a little bit the PCB and then their screws. If you have unsteady PCB, this means that the secured screws are loose and need a retighten all of them. NEVER USE FORCE TO PUT THE LEDS BACK INTO THEIR POSITION.

Re: Bias lights not working on LP70S

Hola smodtactical, You don't see the LEDs into their hole because they are not in the right position. The first thing that you have to do is to take the whole PCB (print circuit board) apart again. Then straiten again the LED pins back again with much care. Before you put the screws back that secure...

Phono 1 is for MC and MM , phono 2 is for MC and MM too. PHONO 1 factory adjusted for both MM a d MC cartridges. The 53dB 47.5Kohms~63dB ...

Re: Oh! For the love of tubes!

The problem is that this effect is only for one person seating in the sweet spot. If you move a little bit, the effect is lost. The tone and harmonic texture do not change.

What it is truly funny, is to see the face of the listener. What funny face expression they get...truly funny.
