Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp Latter on appeared the active high gain phono stages to drive LOMC in exclusive way with no facilities to handle MM/MI cartridges, even those LOMC phono stages cames ( even some today ) with impedance load different values choices coming from 100... | |
Thermal Distortion your loudspeaker most likely suffers from it. But do you care? Back when tubes were king, high efficiency speakers were very common because tube power was (and continues to be) expensive. When solid state amps were commonplace, speaker efficiency started to go down. The problem here is that it never helps t... | |
Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp @rauliruegas Apparently you've yet to sort out that I've never stated that loading affects frequency response of LOMC cartridges. Please cease and desist from claiming otherwise. 47K is the standard loading value for all cartridges, which is why... | |
Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp In this context, is there any relationship between cartridge bandwidth and cantilever stiffness? The stiffness is a function of the load impedance. Obviously it will be more supple if loaded at 47KOhms as opposed to 100Ohms! This says nothing ... | |
if someone can help me...... @kennesawjet One speaker could be out of phase with the other. If this happens the system will behave as you describe. To see if this is the case, simply reverse the connections on the back of one speaker only. Play a track with good bass in it ... | |
Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp You follow with your tale at Munich but in at least 3 different threads in different internet forums where you, JC and I participated about and where you posted your same " tale " he never confirmed that agree in that " less able to track HF ". ... | |
Question on PrimaLuna EVO 400 Amp: Fully Balanced (Differential), or No? If the amplifier employs AC filaments for the voltage amplifier tubes, a cathode/filament short in a tube could cause that. | |
Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp Raul's handwaving aside, I agree 100% with what JCarr has stated, quoted by Raul during his handwaving nonsense above. Loading does not affect the bandwidth of the cartridge, nor is that something I stated. Raul is employing a strawman argument (... | |
Connecting monoblock tube amps to single subwoofer. Connecting to one speaker only ½ works for mono bass such as on LPs. Master tapes do not have mono bottom. @ieales At 80Hz, the waveform is 14 feet long. The ear cannot know a tone is there until the entire waveform has passed by it, and to ... | |
Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? Sorry being so stubborn, but "eliminate" - no, "reduce" - yes. If you start from +/- 15 db shifts or more in the bass region, which most of us do (look at the measurement the op did), then I’d say there is no way a swarm setup will flatten that o... | |
Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp Always start with 47K to see if the preamp works with RFI at its input. If yes (the preamp is unperturbed by RFI), this will get you the best sonic performance. If it sounds better with lower resistance loads, then the preamp does not handle RFI w... | |
Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord? Here is the latest video from Amir on power cords. This statement is false. Amirm is testing a particular cable- an Audioquest, not all power cords. It would be correct to say 'Here is the latest video from Amir on an Audiquest power cord'. Ho... | |
Woofer pulsating with no volume , Oscillation issue? @tommypenngotti In that case you have the two most likely candidates: 1) a tube that is making mostly low frequency noise, which would result in irregular motion in the woofer 2) a regular motion is most likely a failed filter cap, even one that... | |
Woofer pulsating with no volume , Oscillation issue? @tommypenngotti Did you swap the input cables left for right to see if the problem moves? | |
Will I benefit from a subwoofer with 20Hz speakers? While the vendor's promotion online has been fair and honest the fan boys of this system are out of control. From reading their posts and their attacks of the ideas posted above it is clear to me the fan boys have never heard a well integrated s... |
