I have heard the PrimaIvan is cheaper yet 90% of the PrimaDonna offerings. It's that last 10% that is unmatchable.

MC275 club
New tubes didn’t fix the issue and this time when I turned up the volume, an electrical arc that was quite bright manifested from under the left most KT88 (not from the KT88) along with a very loud pop from the amp, not the speakers. The weird thing is that the sentry monitor didn’t kick on and the amp continued to play. Needless to say, it’s off for service.

I am sure your amp will be good as new after service. Do you have another amp as back up in the mean time? |

Unfortunately I don’t have another amp so it’s no tunes for a few weeks.

But there is a headphone jack on your C22...

That’s true. I’ll probably just get my portable speaker out for now. At least it’s something. I also now have a brand new set of tubes ready for when it comes back.

Wow - bummer. So sorry there were other problems with your amp.

Amp isolation device
Sad to hear about your amp Stahle, seems like an unusual occurrence I feel these amp are usually very sturdy.
So while we wait for Stahle’s amp to be repaired. I would like to put some isolation devices underneath my amp, and I was was wondering if you folks had any recommendations. So far I’m leaning towards Isoacoustics Bordeaux, seems like it’s going to be another expensive endeavor... also looking at improvising and experimenting with different materials as a more affordable approach. Your thoughts... Thanks RC.

https://shop.mapleshadestore.com/Vib...tems_c_23.html Looking for tighter, deeper bass? Deeper and wider soundstage? Better transients? Go with the various metal options. In my opinion none of them do anything for the sound but you cannot unhear that which you see.. If that doesn't make sense, I don't blame you but it took me 30 years to figure that out. It will make a difference because you will want it to make a difference and that's just as much real as anything else. |
