| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? The "counter voltage" is actually a traveling wave and doesnt only go counter to the signal. When a signal passes through the cable, waves are induced by the electromagnetic image of the wire and are dependant on the reference ground - which is g... | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? Wow...questions, questions ;)Ok, I will simplify things to keep it under control so bear in mind that it is more complex than I am making it sound.I am doing some work right now involving modeling of cables and their impact with various loads (mos... | |
| McIntosh ss preamp vs. ARC tube preamp In that case, get a Mc pre with a loudness control (knob or switch). Many of them have it and it will compensate for the Fletcher Munson curves at low volumes. I REALLY miss that feature on my current preamp. No preamp can adequately compensate wi... | |
| Distortion with Jolida JD100 I haven't had that problem with mine and I like to really crank the volume often (I have no neighbors in sight). I think you and Oddmorning are having overdrive problems as Distrotion suggested. Tube players output a lot voltage. I compared it to ... | |
| Give me a tube preamp that looks and sound great Hack: How do the 3i and 30 compare? Arthur | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? Materials absolutely do alter frequencies and speed. It is a very complex process. I haven't heard of anyone using pure carbon though. Did you mean all 3 together? Copper and silver are used all the time. | |
| conrad johnson v. aragon amp Kniem: Your definition of "warm" is the same as mine. | |
| Which high-end receiver? Actually the McIntosh is only analog for 2-channel stereo. It has full decoding capability for multichannel, of course.Here is what their website says:This MHT200 is a complete DTS/Dolby Digital/Dolby ProLogic 2 A/V package. With eight, 140 Watt B... | |
| McIntosh MC402 Well, I meant in the future. They won't make the MA6900 forever and I bet they want to get optical lighting in all models eventually. | |
| Which high-end receiver? I second the McIntosh MHT-200. It knocked me out when I heard it with the new B&W N802 speakers. I didn't think a receiver could sound that dynamic and powerful. Arthur | |
| Power amp power draw questions Yes, the current rating is output current - not input current (which is limited to 15A actually). The wall outlet limitation is power and is around 1800W. | |
| conrad johnson v. aragon amp I owned a PV10 and it wasn't all that warm - less than some other offerings from CJ like the PV12 anyway. I would get a PV12 in your case. Also, the MF2100 amp will be more relaxed sounding but won't lack detail compared to the 4004 (although I he... | |
| Economy amps from Channel, Nixon, etc? I worry about very small companies. There are threads here about problems with companies closing at a moments notice with no future support. I would get an Adcom GFA 545 mkII if I were you. Good luck! | |
| cdp digital volume control or preamp? In my experience, a preamp has always improved the sound - especially dynamics and 3D soundstaging. Give it a try and see! Arthur | |
| Best intergrated amp for under $2000 I like the McIntosh MA6500. |
