| "Y" Connector: Can Split A Signal How Many Times? Do you think this would work without much signal degradation?I think that will probably be ok. I'd suggest Blue Jeans LC-1 interconnects, which have very low capacitance, as well as low price. That should result in cable capacitance being a non-is... | |
| "Y" Connector: Can Split A Signal How Many Times? The number of splits that can be done without degradation, or at least without degradation that can be technically predicted and explained, depends on:1)The output impedance of the preamp (the lower the better).2)The input impedances of the amps (... | |
| "Splitter" used for Monoblock Operation? It might be a good idea to ask Victor at BAT for his advice as to which of the two approaches (two cables per channel, or one cable + splitter) is likely to provide the best sonics. There are a number of variables involved that are dependent on th... | |
| "Splitter" used for Monoblock Operation? I would like find something that will be up to the task for the equipment involved, but not thinking to go too expensive at this point as I can always upgrade later.You might want to consider using Mogami Gold Studio, at least initially. If you se... | |
| "Splitter" used for Monoblock Operation? Onhwy61, they're needed to convert the two stereo amps to monoblock operation. See "Part III" on this page.Best regards,-- Al | |
| "Splitter" used for Monoblock Operation? Here are some inexpensive XLR y-adapters/splitters, made in most cases by companies that serve the pro audio market. IMO there is a good chance you would find that much more expensive custom made and/or audiophile-oriented adapters would not provi... | |

| Feedback blew my phono stage? He's obviously far more familiar than I am with the grounding schemes in the preamp and the amps, but FWIW I can't envision how that could have caused the problem. Especially given that the setup has been working well for a long time, with many di... | |
| Feedback blew my phono stage? Today the Halcro designer writes:- There were 3 faulty parts. Each input has a common mode choke to reduce noise. Both the phono stage chokes were damaged. There was also an electrolytic capacitor which had failed. Some of the other caps were also... | |
| Digital Coax to XLR adapters? Excellent points by Kijanki, as usual. How did you calculate the 27 ns, though? If it were similar to a first order RC-type rolloff, for instance, the risetime and falltime corresponding to a 6 MHz bandwidth would be 0.35/6 MHz = 58 ns. Also, putt... | |
| Balanced But Not Fully Balanced Regardless of whether or not the component has a balanced internal signal path (i.e., is "fully balanced"), a well designed balanced interface will reduce susceptibility to ground loop effects; will to some degree reject noise/RFI/EMI that may be ... | |
| Amp gain calculation Hi Paul,See my post near the end of this thread.For the example cited in your post, the answer would be approximately 26.5 db.Best regards,-- Al | |
| Any other AQ Dragonfly Early Adopters out there? Nice writeup on a highly intriguing product, Johnny. Thanks!This has probably already occurred to you, but if you want to continue to use the external keyboard there are several possible approaches:1)Plug the external HDD into the external keyboar... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? 09-18-12: CsontosAl, he's stating for all intents and purposes, that he's experiencing a far higher degree of holography than you did with your Carver!! I can't believe you're willing to reconcile this to personal individual experience. Reminds me... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? 09-18-12: CsontosOh come on, Al. With all due respect, you of all people here should be able to tell us what we can expect to hear and what we cannot regarding the OP's position. Remember the "b.s."? Is it appropriate for all of us to become delu... |
