| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Any plans for a higher power mono amps in the future? Yes. 3. Amp designers would state their objective… straight wire with gain….low distortion with 2nd harmonic dominant….low distortion with 3rd harmonic dominant …etc….. I think Ralph has ... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? For every one person who buys an LP 10,000 people buy a digital file. @mijostyn That may well be. I see it slightly differently, which is this: In reality it’s not a LP come back. What exist is a LP recording manufacturers making huge money... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @hilde45 This has apparently been answered by others, but customer feedback suggests the break-in time is real and is about 3 days or so. The amp does not seem to have a 'warmup' time though. | |
| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? By my way of thinking, that actually makes the most sense if you are going to float the audio grounds; you want the upstream gear to be grounded at the same potential as that of the on board audio circuit. It seems that you want the ground lug to... | |
| Class D for Repatriated Merlin TSM MMI It seems in the realm of possibility that a machine similar to the ones that build the smd boards, could troubleshoot and rework them. For now it seems mostly that only the factory will service smd boards and after warranty expires well... For m... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? I wish you guys would kiss and make up. @mijostyn FWIW dept.: I don't attack anyone on this site as a person, I respond to correct false narrative or provide additional information. I use simple logic to do it, not personal attacks (personal ... | |
| Class D for Repatriated Merlin TSM MMI Class D, really? I suppose in the modern unsustainable consumer disposable society they may be relevant and sound ok. The question I pose is, will they be durable and serviceable in 20+ years or just another contribution to electronic waste ? I s... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? who currently makes reel to reel tape? Just wondering. @goofyfoot see https://www.atrtape.com/ ATR Magnetics makes cassettes as well as reel to reel tape. Are you " crazy " ( at least ) or what? " up is absurd " if it's then don't foll... | |
| Class D for Repatriated Merlin TSM MMI @sbank No worries! | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? Absolutely and with out any single rancor. Who cares but you? @rauliruegas Apparently you or you'd not have responded. Based on other's responses others apparently do too. Mike Lavigne brougth BG here thinking that in some way those comment... | |
| Class D for Repatriated Merlin TSM MMI I believe Ralph’s Class D are $8K and sold out for the moment. The guy who’s advice would be best is Rich Brkich at Signature Sound in Liverpool, NY. @sbank @derekw_hawaii Our class D amp is about 5400/pair right now. FWIW Rich just picked u... | |
| Whizzer cone drivers enabled by the lack of hysteresis inherent in all inductor and capacitor based crossovers. I get why driving speakers directly can sound better, but this explanation isn't it. IME working with 'full range' drivers over the last 20 years they s... | |
| Amp Internal Wire Interesting side part of the story, I noticed a main filter cap leg not soldered on the main board - totally missed by the assembly! I’ve seen a lot, that was a first for me. The leg was snipped, but no solder. @rickysnit Oops! Something like t... | |
| I think I just smoked my Amp @rfnoise I don't think a filter cap failed. I think a fuse blew, which is why the amp faded out as you continued to try and power it up. The caps stored energy, which was drained off by trying to restart the amp. Open it up and see if there are a... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @rauliruegas I'm guessing you didn't read my last post without rancor. Here it is again: Raul, you seem to be missing something here. Clearly, analog has been competing 'against it' for a very long time. You don't have to know anything technical... |
