| Does anyone have a Schiit Yggy DAC? The Yggy is spec’d as consuming 35 watts (although a rear panel marking that can be seen in a photo at their website says 45 watts), and measuring 16" x 12" x 3.875" and weighing 25 pounds. 35 (or even 45) watts dissipated in a component of that s... | |
| Need recommendations for an alternative to Ayon Crossfire integrated @JCarcopo, no, you didn’t fubar anything :-)Line Magnetic LM-805ia:https://www.line-magnetic.eu/en/products-line-magnetic-en/integrated-tube-amplifier-line-magnetic-en...Line Magnetic LM-508ia:http://www.whetstoneaudio.com/line-magnetic-508ia/http... | |
| Need recommendations for an alternative to Ayon Crossfire integrated Regarding the Line Magnetic LM-805ia that was mentioned above, as a point of information I believe it is the same amp that is known as the LM-508ia. Perhaps the model designation that is used depends on the country the amp is supplied to, or the A... | |
| Proac Ribbon Tweeters Damaged ... once I get these repaired, I will have to decide whether I feel comfortable continuing to use that amp, or bite the bullet and purchase something new. Based on what has been said in the thread thus far, if in fact electronics in the system ... | |
| Tinnitus Steve (Handymann), I think you may be referring to hyperacusis. And to posts by member "Giri," a neurologist who mentioned that disorder in two posts in the following thread:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/my-music-sounds-brighterBest re... | |
| unbalanced xlr input (a24) to mytek balanced output P.S: Perhaps pin 3 is grounded when and only when the switch on the rear panel that selects between balanced and unbalanced inputs is set to "unbalanced." That would make much more sense.Best regards-- Al | |
| unbalanced xlr input (a24) to mytek balanced output Erik_Squires 3-13-2019 The A23 is an example. The (-) pin on the XLR input is grounded. Erik, are you sure about that? From the manual for the A23: The Input Stage:The A 23’s input stage uses matched pairs of discrete JFETs arranged in a different... | |
| unbalanced xlr input (a24) to mytek balanced output A component can have input and/or output circuits that are balanced and differential regardless of whether the rest of its internal signal path is balanced and differential or not. If the entire signal path of a component is balanced, it is usuall... | |
| unbalanced xlr input (a24) to mytek balanced output Are you sure you meant A24? I can’t find any reference to a Parasound A24 among both current and discontinued products that are listed at their website, or via a Google search.Also, if you meant A23 (or various other Parasound amplifier models), a... | |
| Proac Ribbon Tweeters Damaged Regarding the possibility that the root cause of the problem may have been the speakers themselves, here are some excerpts from the following thread, although it is about a different Proac model:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/proac-problem... | |
| Proac Ribbon Tweeters Damaged Another possibility, in addition to those that have been mentioned (especially the possibility of an ultrasonic oscillation), is that a fault in the amp is causing a large but very brief transient at turnoff. (I assume, btw, that you are turning t... | |
| Is a Bryston 3B SST2 enough for Magnepan 3.7i or 20.7? While I couldn’t find measurements of the sensitivity of the three speakers that have been mentioned in the OP, I note that their sensitivity and impedance specs are identical. And I would assume that the sensitivity specs (86 db/2.83 volts/500 Hz... | |
| Easy to drive, outstandingly natural sound from 40-50 Hz up.....AN-E, O/96, others? Daedalus speakers meet all of your stated requirements. Depending on the specific model you may not need the subs, either.Also, Lou Hinkley of Daedalus is a pleasure to deal with, and he offers 30-day return privileges less two-way shipping and $2... | |
| Differences between cd transports? Rebbi, good to see you here again! It has been a while.Regarding your quest for an explanation of what could account for the sonic differences you found to occur between the optically connected CD player and the optically connected transport, I th... | |
| Any way I could have damaged my speakers? Could be that my saving grace was that I have a decware amp that only delivers slightly over 2 watts per channel? No question about it. It’s hard to envision a speaker that could be harmed by a 2 watt tube amp, even if the speaker is highly effici... |
