Owners of that amp will NEED a tube checker. The spacial expansion the the headphone amp? I saw the circuitry for one of those last nite on a DIY site I'm checking out, looking for a utility project. Simple circuit addition. |

Gold Member Username: MagfanUSA Post Number: 2047 Registered: Oct-07 | Not to mention the extensive rewire needed. And the fact that my house has ONLY a 100 amp service. And with these amps I'd need to run my AC 7 or 8 fulltime months a year, instead of the current 7 or 8 weeks.....and part time, at that. I'm happy these days with the reduction (theoretical) of 50kwh per month which the purchase of a new refrigerator gained me. The old one, going on 20 years old, ran about 20hrs / day and was nearing the end. My house is on a concrete slab, so no additional structural reinforcement would be necessary. However, Even my power mad Panels would have trouble coping or in anyway touching the 1.5kw on tap. On a serious note, do any speakers exist, for home use, which could tap these out? |

Gold Member Username: MagfanUSA Post Number: 2049 Registered: Oct-07 | Carver did something similar a decade plus ago. 14 kt-88 outputs per side and a 4 chassis design....L/R pairs of PS and output. But 'only' about 350 a side. I don't think it was class 'a'. |

Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 15788 Registered: May-04 | . I see the title to this thread has changed overnight. There's only one person I know who could manage that. Now, I have to say, after some of the pure crap that has shown up on this forum in posts and stayed without comment from that person to have the title of this thread change is ... um, peculiar. . |
