| Paralleling Outputs of Audio Research VT100 I haven't done anything like that, but it sounds like you have thought it through knowledgeably and well. I assume from your post, btw, that your version of the VT100 has a 16 ohm tap, as the photos and schematic here show only 4 and 8 ohm taps.Th... | |
| my ethernet cable? Just speculating, but it seems to me to be possible that even if both of the cables Cymbop compared were unshielded, differences in their characteristics may have resulted in differences in the coupling of RFI or digital noise from the cable into ... | |
| my ethernet cable? Thanks for the nice words, Margot. Regarding your last question, correct me if I'm wrong but I'm envisioning that the cable in question goes between the stereo and a router or network switch or something comparable. If so, the other lines will not... | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers Regarding the measurements cited in George's two posts just above, I would emphasize that the frequency responses and rolloffs that are described apply to electrical signals at the amplifier output/speaker input, not to the acoustic output of the ... | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers Thanks very much, Schubert. I appreciate the nice words. To answer your question, yes I have BSEE and MSEE degrees, and 33 years experience designing and managing design of analog and digital circuits for defense electronics. I'm now happily retir... | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers 01-13-15: GeorgelofiBut from what was said to get the very best from the ML Ethos you need an amp that can that can deliver good current down to at least 2ohms, so it stays flat over the frequency range, and not start behaving like a tone control ... | |
| my ethernet cable? Hi Margot,Wow! The Blue Jeans article is certainly eye-opening, and everything it says strikes me as technically persuasive. But on the other hand keep in mind the following:1)As long as the ethernet link conveys the bits reliably and consistently... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 and Subwoofer help/recommendations How far are you from the rear wall (the wall behind the listening position)? A distance of around 4 feet will attenuate (reduce) the bass peak you are perceiving, if that would be practical. A distance of around 7 or 8 feet will add to it (while a... | |
| overheating sub I'm not sure I understand exactly what you are saying. Are you saying that you have a Jamo powered sub, and when you turn off the power switch on the sub the amplifier that is contained within the sub overheats, until you unplug the sub from the A... | |
| Current limit onset definition? Ptss, the amount of power delivered into a resistive load is:P = (I squared) x Rwhere P = power (in watts)I = current (in amperes)R = resistance (in ohms)An alternative formula which produces the same result is:P = (E squared)/Rwhere E = voltage (... | |
| BEST TONEARM FOR HIGH COMPLIANCE MM That's interesting, Ralph, thanks. I hadn't heard that previously. In any event, my Unitrac still works as new, after 31 years. Member Rodman99999 also continues to use and be very pleased with a Unitrac as well.Best regards,-- Al | |
| Avanti Audio Allegro vs. Clear Day Double Shotgun Which one you should go with is likely to vary depending on the impedance characteristics of the speakers the cable is to be used with, especially given the very different gauges of these two choices. The two 12 gauge runs per conductor/polarity o... | |
| BEST TONEARM FOR HIGH COMPLIANCE MM Another fine choice, in this case from the early 1980's, would be the Magnepan Unitrac 1. If you find one, though, make sure that it is not missing any parts or necessary accessories.Regards,-- Al | |
| Help with cartridge output Great call, ZD. Way to go!Best regards,-- Al | |
| Help me improve Rega P2 Thanks Marty (Viridian). I happen to be very familiar with that paper. While it can often be useful and informative, it also oversimplifies and overlooks a number of things. Relevant to what is being discussed here, it conveys the impression that ... |
