Thank you for your reply.
Please let us know, if and when you firm up plans to sell new speaker products.

We don’t have any Subettes remaining. You could reach out to Matt Jabloner ([email protected]) to see if he has a solution that might work for you. otherwise, you can send us an email if you would like to get a refund, but you can use that amplifier with many subwoofers.

BeePre / Balanced inputs
« Last post by blackharp on July 09, 2025, 12:19:22 PM »
Can someone direct me to where I can purchase balanced inputs? I see the website has changed. And/ or comment on the implications of adding said inputs? Any affect on sound/ tone, etc.? Thanks, friends.

We are moving out of our old office space and I realize my software collection has grown to proportions that won’t fit back in our house. I needed to do a little self reflection and realized my collection of around 300 pre recorded classical reel to reel tapes and 400+ mostly classical LPs won’t get much play time. So I would like to sell it to someone who would appreciate it. If you spend any time at record shops you know classical software is waaay undervalued. In acknowledgement of this I am asking $1000 for this entire collection, basically $1 each for the LPs and $2 each for the tapes. Some of these tapes are listed at $20-30 each. And I will include around 50 books and magazines on tube electronics and hifi. I need the stuff taken away ( not gonna ship) by the last week of July.  And I’m not interested in cherry picking, as this is a space issue, not a need money thing.  Email me at [email protected] and we can arrange a time for you to come see it.

General Discussion / Subettes, any remaining?

I just read that the Subettes are slated for retirement.
I just ordered two Sublimes, intended for Subettes, to match the Pipettes I already have.

Please, is there a final run of Subettes coming up – before their successor product is introduced?

Sublime Subwoofer Amplifier kit / Re: A working amp went silent

I think the chip itself is rated a wee bit above 24V. Turning the voltage down a bit will just give a bit less peak power and is not a problem at all.

General Discussion / Pipettes, Subettes, and some accessories are retired
« Last post by Jameson on July 09, 2025, 10:30:59 AM »
We've mentioned this in a couple spots across our announcements as we've transitioned ownership, and many of you have noticed their absence on the new site, but I did want to more explicitly state that the Pipettes, Subettes, Bottleheadphone Stand, and Solitary Confinement products have been retired. We don't currently have plans to replace them. We aren't saying we won't, but we're focused on two new product launches for the second half of the year (and getting our shipping processes in order) before we turn our attention to new speakers and accessories.

We are mulling over what to do with the Sublime. Now that we're not offering a subwoofer, we're not entirely sure that there's a place for the subwoofer amplifier in the lineup. We'd welcome your feedback.

Thanks, ordered.

About voltage, I've noticed the spec on the power amp mentions 10-24V. The manual suggests aiming for 24V, which is the exact upper range. I don't really need max volume for my room. Should I just drop it to 20V?

My main suspicion for the failure is my speaker amp causing a voltage spike when turned off inappropriately. I am not sure if mitigation by reducing the voltage on the Sublime power supply can help against that. Not sure if one mitigates another - power supply voltage and input spike voltage

Looks identical. Probably fine to use. Not sure what the  failure might be due to. I have two that have been running fine for many months so I don’t have any ideas. The boards are inexpensive and simply replacing one is probably the most reliable way to resolve the issue. Do adjust the power supply voltage again after you replace the amp board. Over voltage will definitely shorten the lifespan.

There seems to be plenty of the XH-M311 power amps on Amazon, cheap.

I'll get one, for example this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0822RDW6J?

Are they all the same provided they are XH-M311? Or are there kinds of it?
