| Balanced versus single ended Hi @atmosphere, can you discuss what you just said in context with my Audionet Max amps and Pre G2 Preamp? Thanks! No- there is too little information on their website. | |
| Balanced versus single ended You absolutely convinced me that I did not need an expensive IC when using your amps and preamp. Has that changed now that I am using my AGD amps? @mglik I don't believe so. @teo_audio Beyond that, it is a degeneration in sound quality, du... | |
| Balanced Line Stage Tube Preamps If you are looking at a balanced line tube preamp, its helpful to ask if the preamp supports AES48. If the manufacturer does not know, that likely means 'no'. One advantage of going balanced (properly) is that you no longer have to buy expensive ... | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? reading up on Gain Bandwidth Product, it seems to be present with designs using the bipolar junction transistor. @mrdecibel to be clear, all circuits with gain have Gain Bandwidth Product. The question is does it have enough to support the fee... | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? I’m very curious what good A/B brings to the party. 'Harsh and bright', IME, unless the designer has really done their homework and has enough Gain Bandwidth Product in the design to support the feedback it employs. If not, the feedback will de... | |
| Linlai 6SN7 All my tubes run very hot except for Linlai. Could the tubes be an issue? The Linlai tube has a larger envelope and so has greater surface area to shed heat. Don't worry about it! | |
| Balanced versus single ended Anyways, my question is: has anyone ever thought that single ended sounded better?given the 2 options. Im only referring to a truly balanced connection. I ask, because a manufacturer who makes tube amps, recommends single over balanced connectio... | |
| Voltage mode vs current mode phono stages @lewm Since the cartridge functions as the input resistor to the opamp, the impedance of the cartridge affects the gain of the circuit (as you probably know, the gain of an opamp will be the ratio between the feedback resistor and the input resist... | |
| Voltage mode vs current mode phono stages Isn't the difference between a 'warm' and 'lean' sounding system a shift in frequency responses? @ledoux1238 IME on a system level that is often caused by distortion. The ear assigns a tonality to all forms of distortion. Lower orders (2nd- 4... | |
| Pigskin or jico leather mat Ralph, the two or three times I have disagreed with you, you have been so freaking nice! I vow to not disagree with you any more. If you were to declare the Earth flat I would let it go. Seriously. If I disagree with you again I will just ask you... | |
| Can anyone identify this inductor? Iron inductors seem like a no-no. In fact, I got huge coherency improvements by taking anti-static and EMI measures on it with some usual hi-fi tweak products. I do not know if they even tried to orient it correctly. Sounds like you identified ... | |
| Pigskin or jico leather mat Just not true. This again is where intuitive/rational/objective/measurement based talk diverges from something called "listening". A platter pad with the same durometer as vinyl (is there such a thing as "the vinyl"?) may sound best with one turn... | |
| Voltage mode vs current mode phono stages whereas voltage mode is an endless pursuit of SUT’s and loading. I have admittedly rather entry level stuff, so not the final word. @ledoux1238 If you have the right voltage mode phono section, its also plug and play- no SUT and no worries abo... | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II The two statements you quoted from me seem to align well with each other and I was unaware that there was a different versions of ohms law for static vs dynamic loads At any rate, Moncreif threw off his numbers by using a 5 Ohm load I agree it ... | |
| Two vs four subwoofers for music playback My main speakers already go to 20Hz. But due to a standing wave in the room, there was no bass in the listening position! I added a pair of Swarm subs and it took no fiddling (once I placed the two subs I've not had to move them at all nor mess wi... |
