Well according to Danny Richie of GR Research, it takes 14 crossover parts to make a Tang Band 8" driver to work.

I notice that you have to knock 10dB off of the efficiency so that the driver measures flat.

He also said that Lii drivers are really bad about ringing.

Hmm, I guess that listening to a test tone is how we need to start entertaining ourselves from now on. That sounds like a real entertaining Saturday night to me.

Stan Getz and Joao Gilberto go together like chorizo and eggs.



On CD.

Up to the reader to decide who is chorizo and who is eggs.

FWIW there were (at least) two different  kinds of hum I experienced with my (non-Decware) 300B amp. One, I think it was 120 Hz but it has been awhile, was what you could adjust with the pot. The other, I think 60 Hz, was from the tube itself and the pot had no effect. With the noisy tube I could clearly hear one frequency hum respond to the adjusting the pot while the other stayed constant.

Wonderful sounding amp, and looks really cool, no 2-year wait. Selling because I have a Decware Torii

1) CBS 5U4G
1) RCA 280 globe = 5U4G

Price is $1500.00 plus $50.00 for shipping, via Paypal Friend or Paypal plus 3.5%, or Local pick up with demo.
Tubes will be shipped in a separate box, the amp can be shipped to you directly or I can ship to Decware.

TRANSFERRING THE LIFETIME WARRANTY
Per Decware if you want to transfer the life time warrenty, the cost is 10% of the current amp price, plus the cost of a new set of tubes required for testing the amp ($150), plus the cost of any repairs Decware deems required, plus the cost of them shipping it to you.
It maybe less but you would need to talk to them.

That could be a useful YouTube short Steve!

No it is sold

Just a side note:  Best way to (only accurate way) to set the hum balance pots on the Sarah is to connect an AC volt meter to the speaker jacks (keep speakers connected) and adjust for the lowest value, which is determined by the tube.  Most of the time you can adjust as low as 0.114 volts ac.

Why I like music downloads: 16 CDs of Bach Organ music, in excellent performances from the Trinity College Chapel at Cambridge for less than 10 bucks and 0 shelf space.



16/44 FLAC download

Bach was considered "old fashioned" even during his own lifetime, and he was at his most reactionary in his organ music. Also, ironically, his most unconventional.

Hey Morgan, is the Torii still available?

I couldn’t resist and went straight to that song on Qobuz… wow.  What a great piece of music..very fluid and engaging.  It was streamed in the work vehicle, so I have to give it a second listen at home.  Great recommendation.   Now switching to an audiobook on Crypto…so I’ll revisit some classical music later on this morning.
