| Has anyboidy had any experience with an 833-A single-ended triode amplifier? I need help in how to put photographs in these answers. I believe the only ways that can be done are to either put the photos in your system description thread, or upload them to a third party website such as one of those that are dedicated to ho... | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp Use caution if driving an unbalanced amplifier. Best results will probably result from using Pin 3 & Gnd ONLY. Hi Ian,Not sure where you are quoting this from, or if you are quoting it, but to be clear I assume this statement is intended to a... | |
| The Physics of Electricity For the record, I disagree with just about everything in Geoff's recent posts in this thread. However I have no interest in engaging in further discussion of these matters, as I would rather focus on threads and discussions that have the potentia... | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp As promised, I have downloaded and examined schematics for the OP’s preamp and amp, which as I had mentioned in my previous post can be obtained at hifiengine.com if one is registered there. The amp is not fully balanced. However, while the circ... | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp Thanks for your input, Peter (Pbnaudio). Yes, depending on the specific designs what could be connected first and disconnected last when XLR cables are connected and disconnected may be either chassis ground or circuit ground. As you are doing in ... | |
| SET amplifier recommendation @lewinskih01 Thanks for the mention!Regarding your experience with the MC275, it’s worth noting that it has a considerably lower output impedance (and correspondingly a considerably higher damping factor) than most other high quality tube amps. So... | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp Engineears 8-2-2019 Horse puckey! I just got up, walked over to my handmade true-balanced end-to-end differential headphone amp, disconnected my Mogami XLR interconnect from my R-2r resistor ladder DAC and measured the pins on its standard Neutrik... | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp Ricevs 8-1-2019 All balanced cables sound different from each other and that includes on Atmasphere gear. Ric, I don’t doubt your experience. But see Ralph’s post dated 3-22-2013 near the beginning of the following thread for what I consider to b... | |
| What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers @carey1110 Regarding the GAT, you’ll want to give careful consideration to the fact that like most CJ preamps and line stages it has very high gain, 25 db in this case. If you use digital sources, which of course usually provide considerably highe... | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp @atmasphere Ralph, I agree with your comments 200% (or I would if >100% were theoretically possible), except that like Millercarbon my understanding has been that XLR connectors make the ground connection prior to the making the signal connecti... | |
| SET amplifier recommendation The issue of bandwidth becoming more limited as the total output power is increased happens with any amplifier with an output transformer. In SETs this issue is exacerbated. Thanks, Ralph. That would say that in the case of tube amps having outpu... | |
| I lied to my wife about the price of Stax 009S headphone please keep your personal sexist comments to yourself@allhifi, you may have misread my comment. It was intended to be the diametric opposite of sexist. Reading my post as a whole, and taking into account the comments by others to whom I gave a... | |
| The Physics of Electricity Gentlemen, note that this is an eight year old thread, that was resurrected earlier today by a newly registered member. Judging by his post, his sole purpose in doing so was to publicize a particular course, most likely for SEO (search engine opti... | |
| XLR cable splitter? I am not perfectly bilingual . Post , threads , .... ??? Is it the same ?French is my first language @Maxwave, to illustrate the difference between "posts" and "threads":What we are participating in now is one thread, titled "XLR Cable Splitter."... | |
| XLR cable splitter? I am not sure , I understand your post .... @Maxwave, if you are referring to my post what is it that you don't understand?Regards,-- Al |
