| Is my amp the problem? More info is needed. What model is the other amp; what preamp are you driving the two amps with; is there an electronic crossover "ahead" of the amps; if there is no electronic crossover how is the preamp connected to each amp (e.g., XLR or RCA); ... | |
| What interconnects are you guys using for bi-wiring speakers? I need a Y XLR based cable. From this Krell 7200 datasheet: The signal path is fully complementary and balanced. Independent complementary pre-driver and driver stages for the positive and negative output transistors make the output stages extremely fast and linear. Also, th... | |
| Acceptable Level Ground/Earth Noise I have also taken another wire and connected it to a copper bus bar to which the analogue equipment is grounded through individual wires such as the earth wire attached to the RCA wire plug the earth plug at the bottom of the table as well as the ... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? P.S: I just took a look at the CD that came with my HDP-5. Viewing the files on it via the File Explorer in Windows I see that there is a folder called "Microphones," and under that "Dayton," and under that "Dayton" again, and under that "6780EMM6... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Hi Ozzy,I can't answer your question about the download CD you referred to. I was provided with the calibration file for my microphone by the dealer from whom I purchased my HDP-5 together with the mic kit (see below), Nyal Mellor of AcousticFront... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... +1 to John's (Jmcgrogan2's) comment. Fazee, I suspect that if you Google "IEC Adapter" you will find something comparable that would be suitable for use in your country.If you do end up performing the breakin while the cords are in the system, th... | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. Great post, Lew. Thanks!The only thing I would add is in connection with this statement near the end: ... it is my opinion that so long as the impedance remains reasonable at least up to 10kHz, the low Z above that frequency is nothing to worry ... | |
| Does using a rca to XLR adapter compromise power and dynamics of power amp? Correction to my previous post: "26%" should be "46%," although as I indicated that corresponds to a reduction of 2.6 db which is a small amount from a subjective standpoint.Regards,-- Al | |
| Does using a rca to XLR adapter compromise power and dynamics of power amp? Looking at the specs on page 319 of the AVR manual, where the 1.2 volt figure appears, I would interpret that figure to be the output voltage the AVR would produce when it is used in conjunction with a line-level analog source and is provided with... | |
| Does using a rca to XLR adapter compromise power and dynamics of power amp? Based on one of your other threads it appears that your Krell amp is an FPB 400cx. According to its manual it has a specified sensitivity (the input voltage required to drive it to its rated maximum power capability) of 2.71 volts. If your combina... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... If I have my equipment on stand by mode, are the PC’s considered to be breaking in or do I need to physically turn on my equipment and let music flow from my system? Fazee, in most cases the current drawn through a power cord by the component it ... | |
| Experience with Tannoy Westminster Royal Gold Reference HDDG 10-14-2016 My preamp output impedance is 500 ohms, would an amp input of 10K ohms be fine?? The Coincident Statement Line Stage has transformer coupled outputs, and no capacitors in the signal path. Therefore it will avoid the large rise ... | |
| Genuine Kondo??? Charles, thank you :-)A bit of additional input about the person in Germany offering the Kondo Gakuon: A Google search of the person's user id leads to the following statement for an identical user id at US Audio Mart, UK Audio Mart, and Canuck A... | |
| Genuine Kondo??? P.S: Internet searches of the name and the address appearing in the ad I linked to in my post above, and on some more common variations of the name, suggest a strong possibility of that ad being fraudulent as well. As does the indication of Audio... | |
| Genuine Kondo??? Regarding the first ad, a quick search using Google Images reveals that some of the same photos appearing in that ad also appeared in this undated ad placed by a seller in California. I have perceived over the years that scammers commonly use ph... |
