| Importance of Amplifier versus Preamp? Thanks, ZD. I see your points, and I agree. And my intention was not to demean any of the responses that have been provided.My point, which I don't think is inconsistent with yours, is that there can be occasions when it is more helpful to answer ... | |
| Importance of Amplifier versus Preamp? Gentlemen, there have been lots of interesting responses, but may I point out the possibility, especially given the first sentence of the OP's initial post in the thread ("New in the field"), that the OP may not have presented his question as opti... | |
| AMR DP-777, what am I missing ? I have no directly relevant experience, but it seems to me that you may gain some insight that would be helpful in formulating a course of action if you were to experimentally try a different computer; a USB 3.0 port if you are presently using a U... | |
| Pass XA100.8 or Sim W7 Monos? If you go with the W-7, I suspect you would get better results with one amp operating in stereo mode than with two of them operating in bridged mode.You'll note that in bridged mode the W-7 has a maximum power rating only for an 8 ohm load (600 wa... | |
| Importance of Amplifier versus Preamp? I don't want to seem picayune, but it can be important to be precise about model numbers, in part so that others can research what you've got. So I believe a couple of corrections to your correction are called for:SAE 2101 should be SAE 2401, as y... | |
| Gamut M250 mkIII Speaker Connection Hey ZD -- sounds like you were more right than you knew :-)(See the last two paragraphs in my post).Best regards,-- Al | |
| Importance of Amplifier versus Preamp? R&R'er, those are not the model numbers you had indicated in your earlier post. Also, I can't find any indication that there ever was a Sony "ta 55e77s." Can you clarify, more precisely?The comments in my previous post remain as stated regardl... | |
| Gamut M250 mkIII Speaker Connection I agree with Raks that it would be best to present the question to Gamut. You should indicate to them that you are using Kef Blade speakers, and also the length and the capacitance per unit length of whatever speaker cables you are using. If the c... | |
| Is DEQX a game changer? Thanks very much, Drewan. I've been keeping in mind the kindly offer of assistance you had made earlier in the thread.Best regards,-- Al | |
| Greatest Children musicians of all times Lots of names to consider in this Wikipedia article.Regards,-- Al | |
| Bi amping a pair of B&K ST-140's I suspect that wouldn't work out well. The impedance of the speaker is spec'd as 8 ohms nominal, 4 ohms minimum. I would suspect that the impedance is in the lower part of that range in the bass and/or mid-bass regions, where lots of energy is typ... | |
| Anyone else making their own cables? Hi Michael,That's really strange. I took a look at some rear panel photos of the EMC-1, including the -UP and MkIII versions as well as the no suffix version. The XLR connectors appeared to be standard 3-pin male XLR's, as would be expected for ou... | |
| Importance of Amplifier versus Preamp? Your list of the equipment you presently have includes two preamps, one of which can accept a coaxial digital input as well as analog inputs. And your CD player provides a coaxial digital output as well as analog outputs.So the system can be confi... | |
| Anyone else making their own cables? Thanks, Tim (Mitch2). Well said, as always. After re-reading PKoegz's posts I suspect that you are right. If so, my suggestion would be that it would be better to refer to such cables as having a symmetrical pair of conductors, or something to tha... | |
| Anyone else making their own cables? Hi Michael (Swampwalker),I don't see any inconsistency between our two posts.Regarding the EMC-1 you had, equipment that is made in some European and Asian countries sometimes applies the non-inverted signal in the balanced signal pair to XLR pin ... |
