| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD P.S. to my previous post: I see also that the specified nominal impedance of the cartridge is 45 ohms. Applying a 100 ohm load to a 45 ohm signal source will result in a loss of nearly 1/3 of the signal voltage, in addition to numerous other kinds... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD I took a look at the very detailed brochure on the C-200L that can be found at hifiengine.com if one is registered there. It appears that for low output cartridges the only loading choices are 10 ohms, 30 ohms, and 100 ohms. While the recommended ... | |
| DEQX not discoverable... Hi Ozzy,I've never seen any meaningful info on the purpose(s) of the firmware upgrade, and I too didn't perceive any sonic differences when I did the upgrade. Just guessing, but perhaps one purpose had to do with optimizing compatibility with the... | |
| DEQX @Handymann,My experience and opinions just represent one data point, of course, and certainly there are those who would prefer to use a DEQX in conjunction with a traditional line stage. But FWIW my bias, generally speaking, is to place the burden... | |
| Setting up 2 power amplifiers to setup at once help? Looking at the manual for the AVR-2801, which can be found via a link near the bottom of this page, it appears that in stereo mode (i.e., when a surround sound LFE signal is not present) the bandwidth of the sub-out signal will extend up to a freq... | |
| DEQX not discoverable... Hi Ozzy,No, for your PreMate it’s 201.62, as can be seen on the Support page of the website. (For my HDP-5 it is 201.61; I did that update a while back and it went very smoothly). A pdf providing instructions for performing the update can also be ... | |
| DEQX not discoverable... LOL! Well, that kind of thing happens to the best of us.Regards,-- Al | |
| DEQX not discoverable... Sorry to hear that you are experiencing these troubles, Todd.If I understand correctly you are saying that the DEQX Cal program cannot see the DEQX, when the computer is connected to the "USB control" connector on the DEQX. (As opposed to not bein... | |
| Happy Thanksgiving to all members , enjoy the holiday Happy Thanksgiving to all.I had a lot to be thankful for and I hope you all do too. +1. Well said.Best regards,-- Al | |
| Setting up 2 power amplifiers to setup at once help? I took a look at the manuals for the two amps in question, which can be found at hifiengine.com if one is registered there, and I calculated their gains based on their specified sensitivities and power ratings. In this particular case it happens t... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Ramtubes 11-22-2018@almargIt would help to quote the original question so we can follow this. It appears to be an answer but im not getting it. Roger, my previous post was a response to your post that immediately preceded it, about the need or lac... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. There is a lot to this question so lets hear back from you and others. My own philosophy is based on the expectation, generally speaking, that for a given level of quality, and within a given architecture (solid state, tube push-pull, tube SET, et... | |
| What is the first album you purchased, and do you still have it? I believe that I too was in the 9th grade when I bought my first album, Connie Francis' "More Greatest Hits." I still have it. I haven't listened to it in ages, though, as during my adult years the majority of my listening has been to classical ... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. I have no particular question to ask at this time, Roger, but I want to take the opportunity to express my appreciation for your participation here. As with Ralph (Atmasphere) and a few other audio designers who participate here at least occasiona... | |
| Your Forever Pieces? What and Why? Given the mention of cassette decks in many of the responses, I’d thought I’d mention a currently produced deck some may wish to consider if and when their vintage deck develops a problem that isn’t worth fixing, or can’t be fixed.The ca. 1980 Tan... |
