| Where to Buy Audiophile Recordings with a Smile FWIW, I would be surprised if any dealer would accept a return after four months, regardless of the explanation that is offered. Also, I would not consider it unreasonable for a dealer to uphold a clearly stated return policy strictly.No disrespec... | |
| Apartment Drama +1 to Frogman's first post dated 4-3-14.I would suggest to a couple of others who have responded that behaving at the limits of what is legally permissible will not necessarily be in anyone's best interests over the long term. In this and in most ... | |
| What are your TWO favorite Symphonic Recordings? Nice thread idea, Schubert. My two, in no particular order:-- Brahms Symphony No. 1, Toscanini/NBC Symphony, recorded in 1940. My favorite performance of my favorite symphony. Can be listened to or downloaded here. The primitive mono sound doesn't... | |
| How to isolated stand from springy floors? 04-09-14: CzariveyUsually bad tubes are more sensitive to mechanical disturbance. 04-11-14: FrogmanBefore undertaking more drastic fixes, I would look for an extremely microphonic tube in the amplifier; replacing each tube one at a time to isolate... | |
| Heartbleed I read somewhere that it only affects Linux and Unix operating systems ....Although there may be some minor exceptions, I believe that is essentially true, if "Unix" is considered to include Unix-like operating systems such as the various versions... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers 04-09-14: UnsoundUnless there is some sort of internal eq or the impedance actually compensates for the drivers-crossover/speaker systems inherent deviations from flat frequency response (something that has been done to some degree in crossover de... | |
| Audience XLR interconnects not working Noodlemonster, it is certainly a safe bet that none of the components in the OP's system or his friend's system are supplying phantom power to their XLR interfaces. We are not dealing with microphone amplifiers here.Also, although I have a fair am... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Unsound and Bruce, as you may have noted TJN's article that Unsound referenced addresses how impedance interactions affect frequency response at the speaker's INPUT terminals. In itself that says nothing about what the speaker's acoustic output wi... | |
| Audience XLR interconnects not working I'll second both of the previous comments. Also, consider purchasing or obtaining a multimeter, and checking the cables for continuity from each pin at one end to the corresponding pin at the other end. And also checking that there is no continuit... | |
| Preamp to Amp jumpers on Bryston Integrated Hi Tony (TLS49),I see no reason why that wouldn't be an equally fine solution. Although the length of the run from pre-outs to amp in is not particularly critical (especially given the low output impedance of the pre-outs) FWIW I note that the len... | |
| Preamp to Amp jumpers on Bryston Integrated Is there a reasonably inexpensive way to do this without investing hundreds of dollars in "audiophile jumpers" plus splitters?Yes there is. Fortunately the pre-outs of the Bryston integrated amps have low output impedances. For example, although t... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Excellent post, Bruce, with which I agree. I also agree with the first two-thirds or so of the paper George referenced, although I would point out that the author has taken the reasonable step of simplifying the circuit analysis he presents by onl... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Ralph and I and others discussed his views on the relation between feedback and output impedance in this thread. It essentially comes down to a matter of terminology.Regards,-- Al | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers George, the 4.7 number appearing on that page is a specification, not a measurement. On the same Manley page an output impedance of 1.5 ohms is specified, which is confirmed by TJN's measurements in the review you linked to. On the same Manley pag... |
