| The best tweeter design The new plasma tweeters have catalysts that convert Ozone back to Oxygen - so no need for Helium tanks or gas masks :) | |
| The best tweeter design Easy! Plasma tweeters are the best - period. But I am biased :) Plasma tweeters excite air movement directly, with no mass. The sound is the purest you have ever heard. The only downside is cost. | |
| Dan D'Agostino is back with a new line You mean much lower frequency. Typically between 0.5 - 1.5 MHz. | |
| Dan D'Agostino is back with a new line These are almost certainly going to be Class D amps - given the compact size, and that the website boasts of the output transistors running "at a blistering 69MHz". | |
| Cary CAD 805AE 845 300B Tube Question You might want to check this thread out: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1286194112&&&/Best-845-tube-out-there-I used to own the 805AE. The amplifier gets hot, but not so hot that I can not hold my hand on the chassis... | |
| Best 845 tube out there? I have had a closer look at the Shuguang psvane 845T's. There is a very large image here: http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?s=107c668285cec06d56e3d26723df6ab1&t=318310Now compare that to the Shuguang 845B. The best image I could ... | |
| Best 845 tube out there? Thanks Davvie. I think I will have to buy myself a set of those tubes now. | |
| Best 845 tube out there? Thanks for posting, Davvie. Can you describe the differences between the PSVANE and the 845B? | |
| EXPLAIN HD SACDs to me. Bear in mind that not all players that purportedly play both SACD and RBCD do a "proper" job with SACD. Many will convert the SACD datastream into PCM, and then process it through a standard 44.1kHz DAC. You will lose the advantage of SACD and may... | |
| Best 845 tube out there? Thanks all, that was very helpful. I can eliminate two candidate tubes straight off the bat - the Shuguang 845C and KR 845 are off the list because of incompatibility. Someone mentioned the Sophia Electric 845. A quick google shows this: http://ww... | |
| Help me choose an active crossover I have ordered the XM44 crossover. What tipped the balance is availability of various daughter boards, so this is a highly customizable solution. Phil Marchand himself thinks there is little difference between the two when it comes to resolution. ... | |
| Help me choose an active crossover Thank you everyone for your responses. I have spent the past few hours reading reviews and thinking about it. I received this reply via email: "A valve preamp can be the heart and soul of a good music system but sometimes an active crossover can k... | |
| Help me choose an active crossover Thank you, Eldartford for your comments. I failed to mention that I have a DEQX and a Behringer CX2310 crossover. Neither are good enough for my needs, although the DEQX was helpful when it came to taking measurements and choosing slopes. The litt... | |
| Cary 805 AE Feedback Request I used to own these amps and I can tell you that they definitely sound better after an hour or so than they do when they are first turned on. By this time the output transformers are nice and hot. The biggest changes happen in the first 10 minutes... | |
| Adam Audio of Germany I have heard nearly every model in the Tensor series and I can vouch that these speakers are excellent. I would describe the sound as neutral, extended, and very much a full range experience (as in, it goes up, and it goes down). The midrange and ... |
