| Lateral Bi Wire You're welcome, Derrick. For the benefit of others who may read this thread, here is a link to the photo in the article which shows the connections to the internally paralleled output terminals of one of the monoblock amps.Regards,-- Al | |
| Why does my system now have shrill top end. I too think it must be the amp but this test will tell for sure. Hopefully Kosst will take my response to this in the constructive spirit in which it is offered: If the problem goes away when the amp is changed, while it would substantially increa... | |
| Lateral Bi Wire I looked at the article, and its references to "L" and "R" are misleading. The amps are monoblocks, each of which of course is connected to just one speaker. Each amp has two pairs of output terminals, which are paralleled (i.e., the two + termina... | |
| EQ’ing with DEQX Hi Todd,Glad you are enjoying the DEQX. Given its complexity and the learning curves that are involved it certainly sounds like you've made a ton of progress in only 1.5 weeks.EQ is handled by the DEQX somewhat differently than the other settings... | |
| Why does my system now have shrill top end. Regarding the exchange Jim (Jea48) and I had a few posts back about the "Ortofon Black" cartridge listed in the OP, and the possibility of trying the phono stage connected directly to the power amp: In addition to the high output 2M Black moving m... | |
| Why does my system now have shrill top end. Your welcome, Jim. Looking further at the Linto specs, though, based on the specified input loading of "150 Ohms in parallel with 4.7nF " (i.e., 4700 pf) it would seem clear that the 2M Black (which is a moving magnet design) is not the cartridge ... | |
| Why does my system now have shrill top end. Jea48 12-2-2017 What are the chances the OP could connect the Linn Linto Phono Preamp directly to the inputs of the Pass amp without it playing too loud for a test. That would take the Pass XP 20 out of the equation. Hi Jim,In this case tha... | |
| @inna Tell me your speakers and I'll tell you who you are Tell me what speakers you choose and why ....Daedalus Ulysses, in quarter sawn white oak solid hardwood. Why: 1)Top-notch sound quality. 2)Wide dynamic range, specifically the ability to cleanly reproduce the peaks of well-recorded classical symph... | |
| XLR, RCA and adapters: Working with active speakers and subs Hello Highstream, The DirectStream DAC is described as having a transformer coupled output stage, and the ModWright 205 might also, as its description refers somewhat ambiguously to its analog stage as being transformer coupled.Most XLR-to-RCA and... | |
| Why does my system now have shrill top end. Kosst, my hypothesis is not predicated on the cables having changed in any way whatsoever. If it wasn’t clear, when I referred to the condition being "sufficiently marginal that minor aging effects or perhaps even a change in AC line voltage have ... | |
| File transfer from Windows formatted HD to Mac formatted HD James, no, the Paragon program I referenced will only run on Windows-based computers. There are programs for Macs, though, which will provide similar capability when using a Mac computer. The program Erik referenced apparently being one example.... | |
| File transfer from Windows formatted HD to Mac formatted HD The Paragon software I referenced would be downloaded and installed onto a Windows computer. You would connect the Windows-formatted external drives containing the music files to that computer. You would also connect the new Mac-formatted drives t... | |
| File transfer from Windows formatted HD to Mac formatted HD Formatting or reformatting a drive, or a partition within a drive, will destroy all data that is on the drive or partition.In addition to software programs that are available for mounting NTFS (Windows formatted) drives on Macs, such as the one Er... | |
| Why does my system now have shrill top end. Kosst, thanks for the clarification about the multimeter measurements.I also want to thank Jwpstayman for his very informative post about the OCOS cables. For one thing, it further reinforces suspicion that they have ultra-high capacitance. (I bel... | |
| Why does my system now have shrill top end. Kosst_Amojan 11-30-2017 It’s free and harmless to connect a DMM to the amp outputs and determine if the bias is off. Uberwaltz 11-30-2017 If Kosst reference to DMM means digital multi meter it is possible the op does not have a halfway decent one ... |
