| Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers Most typical speakers will decrease/increase their sensitivity in direct proportion to the increased/decreased impedance changes. Electrostatics being a notable exception, though, including the ESL-57 which bdp24 was referring to. Some other e... | |
| Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers bdp24 1-8-2017 For instance, the original Quad ESL's nominal impedance was 16 ohms, but it’s impedance rose to 60 ohms at low frequencies, and fell to 1.8 ohms at high frequencies---anything but an easy load! That impedance characteristic is on... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Hi Pani,I'm not sure what to make of Mr. Qvortrup's statement. After looking at the descriptions of the various SUTs listed at the Audio Note UK site it does appear that his reference to "primary impedance" refers to something other than the refl... | |
| Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers First, I wouldn’t say that 4 ohm speakers are **necessarily** harder to drive than 8 ohm speakers, as there are many other variables involved. Including the efficiencies of the speakers; how the magnitudes of their impedances (the number of ohms) ... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... J_Damon, while a number of members here have reported excellent transactions with 2Juki, including purchases of the ART9, if you are in the USA you may want to consider LP Gear. They are currently offering it at a special price ("subject to alloc... | |
| Quack System Upgrades Dave, "BSOD" applies to Windows-based computers, and stands for "Blue Screen of Death." The blue screen + text that on many versions of Windows may appear when Windows itself has crashed, and the computer has to be rebooted. Best regards,-- Al | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... J_Damon, based on the many reports we’ve seen here from purchasers of the ART-9 it would seem that while there have been a few isolated cases of misoriented cantilevers the odds are heavily in your favor that a replacement would not have that prob... | |
| So you want to buy a turntable? Funny indeed! Thanks Mofi. And all the best to you and yours for 2017.Best regards,-- Al | |
| 2016: In Memorium A couple of additions to this well done but of course very sad list:Gogi GrantDebbie ReynoldsBoth had huge number 1 hits in the 1950s.Regards,-- Al | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Avanti, no the RF issue I referred to would have no relation to a hum problem. Not sure what to suggest in that regard, given that you haven't had that issue with other LOMCs. FWIW I had no such problem.Good luck. Regards,-- Al | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Avanti1960 1-2-2017 I have the loading at 100 ohms.... the dynamics are not as good as i thought they would be though compared to my dynavector 20X2L. I would try a much higher value than 100 ohms. The need for heavy resistive loading is driven pr... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Just want to reciprocate and extend good wishes to all for health and happiness, and good listening, in 2017.Looking back at 2016, the only significant change I made to my system was purchase and installation of an Audio Technica AT-ART9 phono car... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Good points by Mitch2, IMO. Who as he stated has tried SR Red and several other audiophile-oriented fuses, with unimpressive results, and whose audiophile credentials and experience are unimpeachable IMO.Frank (OP), regarding the comments by Warre... | |
| pass labs x350.5 and arc ref 5se - impedence mismatch? The X350.5 has specified input impedances of 30K unbalanced and 20K balanced, as indicated under "Technical Specifications" here, although I suspect those numbers have been mistakenly interchanged. As with many ARC line stages and preamps ARC reco... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Almarg, with your experience, what would you conclude that I may find? I have no idea, having no experience with 310A tubes or with LM amplifiers. But it seems like an experiment that is well worth trying. Especially given that based on eBay's... |
