| What do the different tube amp types mean? Excellent replies from Mlsstl and Atmasphere. Here is a quick and dirty run-down of the different types of tubes. A tube basically works by boiling off electrons from the cathode (-ve terminal) and accelerating the electrons to the anode (+ve term... | |
| Review: Acapella Triolons Speaker Thank you for posting your impressions, Fcrowder. I have been following your thoughts with interest. I just bought an Acapella Violon. This was a lot of money by my standards, but feels a little bit like peanuts next to your speakers. Given that t... | |
| Linn CD12 vs. EMM CDSA Sorry, I meant user interface. I was told that the track forward and backward commands takes forever to execute. | |
| Linn CD12 vs. EMM CDSA Thank you for posting your impressions. Some people say that the interface of the EMM is a little bit annoying - did you find this to be a problem? I am considering a CDSA myself and from your description it is just the ticket. If anyone has more ... | |
| Can tube amps give true high end bass? T bone, I think that Jmaldonado is talking about the damping factor. The damping factor refers to the amp's ability to control the motion of the driver. The DF is a ratio of the impedance of the speaker and the output impedance of the amplifier. M... | |
| What are the difference between CLASS A and PURE On a related note, what is the difference between Class A and Class A2? | |
| Please help - 3 top-of-mind choices for Avantgarde I heard the Avantgarde Uno's driven by an Audio Note Soro SE 8W SET integrated at a dealer's. I was surprised by how bad the combination was. The midrange was thick and coloured, top end was poor and muddied. Nearly all of my music lives in the mi... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Tbg, I have no idea how that flame is generated. Maybe i'll fire off (no pun intended) an email to Acapella to ask. It is very early in the morning here in Australia (5am when I posted that message above). I just turned on the speakers and EUREKA ... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Oh sorry TBG. I just realized that you have to be a member of that forum before you can see the pictures. I was talking about the Acapella Violons. UNFORTUNATELY, yesterday one of the tweeters suddenly became much more quiet than the other one. Ev... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Well the speakers arrived yesterday. You can see a lot of pictures here: http://www.stereo.net.au/forum/index.php?showtopic=3088&st=0Also more pictures in my virtual system. I was very surprised when I hooked them up to my Cary CAD-805AE amps.... | |
| Difference between SET and push-pull using 300B "Push-Pull design has two output devices at the output. Each device transmitts the half of the sinusoide." Dejanm, you are describing Class B amplification. Class A push-pull has one terminal transmitting the full signal, and the other terminal tr... | |
| proac 125 I finally got to hear a ProAc D25. I have the model up, the D38. And I have heard the Response 1SC and Tablettes. The smaller ProAc's image better but lack the bass extension and the sense of ease that come with the larger models. Which one do I r... | |
| Which tube amp with ProAcs ? I have heard a Tablette Signature and a Response 1 driven by a Cary 300SEI integrated SET amp. The combination was magical! But the room was pretty small ... if you have a large room I would imagine that this combination would not be ideal. | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Kotjac, I have heard that the Einstein OTL's are the best solution as Acapella themselves use it. However, they suffer from a very serious drawback - you can't get them in Australia! In any case, since I last wrote I have already ordered my Cary C... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde Greg, why is mono-amping the most ruinous solution? I would have thought that it would be cheaper to mono-amp than to bi-amp? I found it rather difficult to understand why also. That is why I asked for the crossover schematic but the dealer was (u... |
