| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Thanks, Mapman. On June 11 and June 12 I had posted the following in this thread: Regarding interconnects, if I recall correctly all of the equipment possibilities that have been mentioned would be suitable for use with balanced XLR interconnects.... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC P.S. to my post above: Even if pins 2 and 3 were interchanged relative to the usual convention in the Aeris and the 625 S2, it wouldn't matter as the two reversals would result in the correct overall polarity. And that would continue to be true... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Inna, according to rear panel photos I've seen of the Aeris and the 625 S2 , those models conform to the XLR convention that is standard in the USA, Canada, and many other countries of pin 2 non-inverted and pin 3 inverted (with pin 1 being groun... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Excellent inputs from Guido, as usual. Some additional comments:Many Nordost and Cardas wires are often thought of as having intrinsic sonic characters that are in opposite parts of the spectrum, with some audiophiles being of the opinion that Car... | |
| Strange Oscillation P.S. to my previous post: My suggestion about cutting the speaker cable capacitance in half (as seen by the amp) assumes that one of the two biwire runs can be disconnected at BOTH ends, while leaving the other run in place and jumpering the hig... | |
| Strange Oscillation Yes, as Bombaywalla indicated a number of good suggestions have been made. And as the diversity of those suggestions shows, there are a lot of different possibilities that may account for the issue. Some further thoughts:First, just to be sure, is... | |
| The best separates between $2500-3000. Moving on from the original Rogue Sphinx Intg.. P.S: Regarding "if I connect a separate power amp to line 3 which is a variable output ...," this still strikes me as incorrect, as well as being in conflict with statements in the manual. As can be seen in the rear panel photo I linked to earlier... | |
| The best separates between $2500-3000. Moving on from the original Rogue Sphinx Intg.. Hi Jim,As you may be aware op amps ("operational amplifiers") are solid state integrated circuit devices that are often looked upon with disdain by audiophiles. In part because op amp-based implementations tend to be less costly than other approac... | |
| What is the best OTL out there? Thank you, Charles. While the Siegfried and certain other Berning amps are described by Mr. Berning as OTLs, and are considered by many to be such, and by all accounts I have seen those are brilliant designs and excellent performers, in between t... | |
| What is the best OTL out there? I build and designed these types of OTL and they sound excellent.using KT120,KT88,VVT52b,300b Maybe you are just concentrated on your OTL. Can you indicate the impedance of the speakers you use with these OTLs? These tubes were designed to work in... | |
| American Made Audio Unveils New Site For Made in USA Components With the notable exception of the television, which belongs to the Russians. Nope. Philo Farnsworth, born in Utah, is generally credited with having invented electronic television. And the primitive mechanically scanned systems which preceded ... | |
| The best separates between $2500-3000. Moving on from the original Rogue Sphinx Intg.. Does the NuPrime ST-10 digital amp (150 RMS) qualify as a Class D amp, or a variant of Class D?? It is apparently a proprietary variant of class D.The mention in its description of a 600 kHz switching frequency, 85% output stage efficiency, and it... | |
| Redbook Keeps Surprising ... consider this scenario; I buy a disc from a regular retail source, pay the prescribed market price, listen to it, don't rip it or save it in any way and then grow tired of it, and give it to a friend/donating it; is that a violation of cop... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Congratulations and happy birthday from me as well, Rinpoche. I have no doubt that your choice will prove to be a source of delight for a great many years to come.Best regards,-- Al | |
| Rogue Metis speaker polirity Would someone explain why some preamps invert polarity? Seems it would be just as easy to not wire them that way. Thanks.A typically designed gain stage in a component having an unbalanced signal path, whether tube or solid state, will invert pola... |
