| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? The audio signal goes in with positive wire and backs out with negative wire. That is not correct. During one half-cycle of each of the frequencies that is present the current corresponding to that frequency flows in via the positive conductor and... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 Hi Jkull,First, congratulations! Glad the amp and speakers have worked out so well.It won’t hurt anything to try the 4 ohm and 16 ohm taps. And it seems to me to be worth trying, as I suggested earlier. Given especially that the speaker’s impedanc... | |
| Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why? It wouldn’t surprise me if under many circumstances a symmetrically designed cable (i.e., a cable having no shield or having a shield that is connected at both ends) were to exhibit directional properties that have nothing to do with the inherent ... | |
| Usher cp-6381, lacking in bass? Not sure how to explain that. All of the Speakon cables for REL subs that I have knowledge of have three conductors, one for left channel +, one for right channel +, and one for ground. A two-conductor cable will not enable you to input both cha... | |
| Usher cp-6381, lacking in bass? Another option I could consider for a sub is to get a unpowered sub and a dedicated sub amp which I could feed with a line out direct out of the ls2? There aren’t a great many choices of unpowered subs that are available these days, and you would ... | |
| Usher cp-6381, lacking in bass? Yes, assuming you have the Neutrik Speakon cable that is normally used to connect the unbalanced speaker-level input of REL subs to amp outputs, and assuming the amp is not being used in bridged mode, just piggy-back the wires from that cable onto... | |
| Usher cp-6381, lacking in bass? I would definitely connect the REL sub at speaker level, rather than to the RCA outputs of the preamp. For several reasons:1)The input impedance of the line-level (RCA) inputs of the REL sub is very probably 10K (which is the line-level input impe... | |
| Class D Technology I have no dog in this discussion/fight/whatever, but FWIW I believe the statement Mr_m is referring to is the following:Atmasphere 11-3-2016 Right now the technology is to the point where the amps have become practical for mid fi, but they still ... | |
| Pass Labs INT 60 VS. Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP VS. Arcam A49 Scott, thanks for your inputs. Here is a corrected link to Mr. Potis’ review of the Carissa:http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/artaudio2/carissa.htmlInterestingly, it is described in the review as being a "no negative feedback" design, but having ... | |
| Pass Labs INT 60 VS. Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP VS. Arcam A49 I agree with Unsound and Tls49. And especially in the case of the specific tube amp in question, compared to many other tube amps, given its unusually high output impedance. See the third and fourth paragraphs here (although these measurements are... | |
| Looking for laptop Windows 10 for music only. They also seem like they wouldn't have the usual bloatware that major laptop manufacturers would add, but don't quote me... Yes, that's true, Bob. The only software they install on Eluktronics branded laptops is Windows and necessary drivers.Al... | |
| Entry Level Interconnect Reccomendations Ocinn 11-25-2016Harrison Labs PFMod crossover (soon to be replaced by MiniDSP) I took a look at the descriptions of the Harrison Labs crossovers. Although detailed information such as a schematic doesn’t seem to be available, it is clear that the ... | |
| Line Magnetic 219ia vs Mc225 The cornwalls are even somewhat ’dark’. The sound is very warm now. My concepts of maybe it being ’my room’ before, are much lessened. I can crank these and I do not feel like the bass is booming me and the treble is piercing me. The treble is war... | |
| Is a Power Amp the Answer? By any chance do you have the tone controls in the Rotel set such that they are boosting the bass significantly? If so you would in effect be dramatically reducing the power capability of your amplifier, as the boosted bass notes would require muc... | |
| XLR to RCA interconnect. Does mixed connectors provide less noise compared RCA to RCA? Hi Steve (Williewonka),In this particular case, per my second post in the thread it appears very likely that the RCA output of the CDP is provided with the same signal that is provided to XLR pin 2 (the non-inverted signal in the balanced signal p... |
