Running 8ohm speakers on 4ohm tap of tube amp - NEW INSIGHT !
"@(none)" ""andre\"@(none)" said:
If it's done for any other reason then
that there is no 8-Ohm output or 4 Ohm
speaker available,.. it's snake oil, yeah.
And suddenly I realized that the changes in sound
are, however small, real and can be scientifically
proved.
And this modification is _free_
So that's the opposite of Snake-oil.
( which appearently comes for $72 for a 10ml bottle, )
Using the correct load on the incorrect tap will result in at least
less power, and in most cases, more distortion.
The exception is the triode amp, where a higher Z load connected to a
lower Z tap will result in both lower power AND lower distortion.
And a fraction better damping of the speaker.
