| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. Yes. The black wire would be soldered to the wrap-around piece having the little teeth in it (the part of the plug that is closest to the lower left of the photo I provided). The small circle that is further forward and is centered in the middle... | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. Fsmithjack, yes, what you said in your last post is correct. And for a typical RCA plug, such as this one (shown with its housing removed) the connection point for the ground shell is easy to distinguish from the one for the center pin once the ho... | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. Audiotroy 10-14-2017Your sub hookup questions should be addressed directly to Sumiko. As the ground for the speakers on a Rel is not like a nomral ground in an electrical sense. the Rel subs read the signal from the amp like an rca cable. Hi Dave,... | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. P.S: I just found the following statement in the manual for the X350.5, which was apparently written before the version of the amp which provides a signal ground terminal was introduced: Some powered subwoofers require an audio signal ground refer... | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. Glad to hear of the good progress!Regarding... I was hooking the subs before to the black terminal. Do you think if I ever hook them up again I should avoid that? I did it with my Rethm’s and it worked good but your info is great info! Assuming th... | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. Fsmithjack, thanks for posting the pix. Regarding my previous post, about sub connections, after looking at the second from the last photo I see that you don’t have them connected to the amp. I also see that your amp doesn’t provide the white sign... | |
| Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass Shadorne raises an interesting point, but I would add that the compression at 90+ db shown in the SoundStage measurements, rather than applying to listening levels of 90+ db, applies to the situation where 90+ db levels (at 2 meters) occur in the ... | |
| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. "So darn bright :( something wrong here....""... if this was their sound no one would like them and so many people do!"I’d have to agree that it sounds like something is wrong here. This is probably a long shot, but it seems worth asking: Have you... | |
| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? I guess the bottom line re impedance compatibility with the BAT is that a reasonable case could be made on either side of the issue. Earlier in the thread I referred to the possibility of audibly significant phase shifts occurring as a result of t... | |
| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? Fsmithjack, re your question just above, that would be no problem.BTW, I see that the K-1xe has a relatively low specified input impedance of 10K per phase, which means a balanced input impedance of 20K. And I suspect that it probably also means t... | |
| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? Fsmithjack, I’m not in a position to recommend a choice between the K-1xe and the ET3SE, and the recommendations you’ve received in favor of the Ayre come from members whose opinions and directly relevant experience certainly command great respect... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! Lest Porsche be given a bad name, hifiman5, I regret to say that the Porsche of recent years seems to have no resemblance to the company as it appears to have existed in 2000, based on Bruce's description of it as "bad" at that time.My experience ... | |
| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? Further update: I see that in the latter part of Sam Tellig’s writeup it is stated that the 17LS2 design does in fact use two of the 2uf caps in parallel, on each channel. Which is fine in terms of impedance compatibility with a 20K load.Regards,-... | |
| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? Hmm, after looking a little further I see in "Sam Tellig’s" comments about the 17LS2 that one of the differences between it and the 17LS involved the introduction into the design of ten 2uf Teflon capacitors. **If** one of those is used as the out... | |
| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? The title of the ad for the Canary preamp refers to it as a CA-800, which is a one-chassis design (having a specified output impedance of 650 ohms), but the photo and the text indicate that it is a C800, which is a two-chassis design (having a spe... |
