| Is there such a thing as too much power? Hi @agwca ,It is not true. Every particular room has the parameter Critical Distance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_distance "Critical distance is, in acoustics, the distance at which the sound pressure level of the direct sound D and the... | |
| Is there such a thing as too much power? Hi @bob0398 ,Most of speakers (Tannoy, Klipsch,...) have overstate sensitivity specification. Even vintage speakers like my Altec 604E have 102dB/m by spec, but in real live just ~97-98dB.On other hand a lot of tube amplifiers sound slow. It happe... | |
| Is there such a thing as too much power? Hi @larryi ,I'm not against to use, for example, small monitor speakers with sensitivity ~88-90dB/1W in 100-150 sq ft room. But in this combination even 300B SET will be enough.I think the very popular but wrong way to do - using big low sensitivi... | |
| Is there such a thing as too much power? What I hate most in audio industry - when producers, sellers and reviewers are selling cheap stuff with expensive price tag and try to brainwash people that this cheap stuff is exclusive and expensive.Audiophile you have to know -Low sensitive spe... | |
| Is there such a thing as too much power? All this super power amplification is worthless. It overheat driver voice coil caused to increasing drivers impedance and huge dynamic compression. It is even worse - this dynamic compression has memory, because driver voice coil can't be coole... | |
| Is there such a thing as too much power? For me all dynamic speakers that need more power that gives EL34 push-pull amplifier have compressed sound.You can use 1000 Watt amplifier with these speaker but it wouldn't change this character. | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Here is a very interesting site about DD turntable: http://www.edsstuff.org/dd_museum.pdf | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive For idle drive you need a very accurate mechanical production and professional design.For DD you need high tech engine and electronic control system.For belt drive you can get a cheap toy car engine, build it in your garage and sell it for thousan... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Al EMT DD are good suspended.Two my friends -One sold Linn LP12 for EMT 948 and other one sold Sota for EMT 950.Other my friend prefer EMT 948 over Kenwood L07d and Technics SP10mk2, but he likes Yamaha GT-2000 as much as EMT. I think than EMT 950... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive I payed $3300 USD!!! for Nottingham with Spacearm included taxes.The price was higher because I was living in Israel that time. I don’t care about brand new price of EMT948 in 1980.Personally, I didn’t pay more for EMT than I payed for Nottingham... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive Hi @terry9 ,Nottingham Analogue Sapcedeck is not entry level. It was a third level after HORIZON and INTERSPACE. I bought Nottingham Sapcedeck with Spaecarm in 2002 a brand new by full price.I bought EMT948 in 2011 on eBay used by 2400 Euro. Yes... | |
| Super tweeter for FullRange Driver Hi @akwilson501 ,What kind of capacitor do you use?The capacitor quality and jumper wire quality is very import too.I prefer paper in oil capacitors for smother sound.Regards,Alex. | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive After Lenco I use EMT 948.It is a number of levels over Lenco and Nottingham Spacedeck.Other my friend audiophile and musicant (flute player solist and conservatorio teacher) threw away his heavy platter Sota turntable after buying EMT 950 DD turn... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive I had Nottingham Spacedeck and moved to heavy plinth Lenco 78 with SME 3009mk2 tonearm.Lenco won in term of PRaT, piano and organ tone, better bass, better instrument separation, more musical. No rumble.And Lenco wasn’t expensive High End turntabl... |
