| Coax to BNC connection for digital That should work well, Mesch, assuming the BNC input is 75 ohms (as is likely) and not 50 ohms. Also, it would be preferable to use an adapter specified as 75 ohms, such as the one I linked to earlier.Best regards,-- Al | |
| Confession of a poor power cord pairing for a Pass Labs XA-25 @gadios, in response to your three questions:1) I purchased a new XA-25 from Reno HiFi. Consistent with their outstanding reputation I found them to be a pleasure to deal with. 2) Yes. I don’t think you would be disappointed.3) My XA-25 replaced a... | |
| More questions about dedicated lines Thanks, Mike (Mijostyn).@the_treble_with_tribbles, before a battery bank/inverter approach would be chosen I would want to see considerable additional technical detail on the specific make and model the electrician recommends. The concern, IMO, b... | |
| Dazed & Confused What were your thoughts on converting the amp to the V1 specs? Although I have no experience with Coda amps or ML speakers, it seems to me like it could very possibly be a worthwhile change. As you appear to realize, most of the time most users ar... | |
| Coax to BNC connection for digital Given the DAC has BNC, should I purchase a server with BNC output I would then just purchase a BNC cable which I suppose would need be rated for 50ohms. Hi Mesch,The output impedance of the server, the input impedance of the DAC, and the impe... | |
| Confession of a poor power cord pairing for a Pass Labs XA-25 Thanks for sharing this experience, Coach. I too have an XA-25, which is a wonderful amp as you know. I've never tried using its stock power cord because it is too short to be suitable for my setup. Instead I use a 12 foot Signal Cable MagicPow... | |
| What's up with TMR Audio? To add to what has been said about the Fair Credit Billing Act, the 60 day period is measured from the date of the billing statement issued by the credit card company on which the disputed charge first appears. So in many cases that period may ex... | |
| Dazed & Confused Hi Paul,I’m still here :-) And thanks for the update.Excellent news that the balanced input impedance is 10K, not 1K. So your DAC and almost all other DACs or other source components having solid state output stages will have no problem driving th... | |
| Coax to BNC connection for digital Hi Mesch,To add to Auxinput’s response, just make sure that the input impedance of the BNC input and the impedances of the cable, the BNC connector(s) on the cable, and any adapters that are used are all 75 ohms, and not 50 ohms.Also, if you alrea... | |
| What's up with TMR Audio? TMR could have and should have provided a prompt acknowledgement of the order, and could have and should have provided a more informative answering message on their phone system.But the fact is that for whatever reason they didn't. And IMO postin... | |
| Music with differences between class A and class D amplifiers Although I have never used a class D amplifier I suspect that well engineered recordings of classical solo piano music, that contain a lot of high speed "transients," would be good choices for this purpose. You would particularly look for how wel... | |
| Magnepan LRS power amp compatibility? For a load impedance that is essentially resistive (as is the case with the LRS, per John Atkinson’s measurements in Stereophile) the amount of power that is delivered equals voltage x current. So for a given load impedance power (watts) and curre... | |
| My stereo receiver is a little too bright. Can a cable help me out? Regarding comparisons of vintage vs. recent equipment, a seemingly obvious point but one which often seems to not be taken into account in discussions of this subject is that comparisons should be based on similar present day prices. For example A... | |
| My stereo receiver is a little too bright. Can a cable help me out? Lowrider57 12-23-2019 Once again, use the tone controls and put more hours on the Pioneer.... I wouldn't get caught up in buying cables and new components. Give it some more time.Echolane 12-23-2019 I think the most sensible thing to do is... | |
