| Your sub experience: Easy or hard? I have two systems employing subs, one with DBA and one without. The one with the DBA set up the fastest. I didn't have to mess with the sub locations and setting the amplifier controls was a breeze. The other uses a single sub and I had to move... | |

| Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno @tmac1700 Having a hard time finding a speaker that sounds great with hip hop, techno and rock There isn't a way to design a speaker, amp, preamp or source to favor a certain genre of music. What makes a speaker good (or bad) for a certain ge... | |
| Balanced versus single ended They both sounded good, but given the price difference, I would buy Ralph’s cables. To be clear, 'our' cables are simply Mogami Neglex with Neutrik connectors. | |
| Why do some amps provide more output power when using a balanced connection? Can someone please explain why I need to create a 3v output from the Chord Mojo 2? @therandyman To get enough output to drive the amp. | |
| Voltage mode vs current mode phono stages You been on a ride yet? My wife and I have new bikes this year. The drive trains are somewhere between New Hampshire and Italy. This year's ride is leaving Banff on the 10th of June and hoping to arrive at Antelope Wells, NM in under 30 days (w... | |
| Can anyone identify this inductor? @clustrocasual ^^This. | |
| Voltage mode vs current mode phono stages This is very true - the proper equipment required to work on SMD boards is around $100k. @dover That depends on the type of SMDs used. The 0402s and the 0201s can be done with fairly simple equipment certainly costing maybe $500 if you stretch ... | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II Is there any chance the major contributors to this thread will be designing, producing, and selling a new type of phono stage in the near future? We've been making phono sections since 1989. Our MP-1 had the first fully differential balanced ... | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II in an ideal current driven phono stage that uses an op amp to sense current, is the coil of the cartridge connected to that virtual ground that you describe? One end of course. If that is the case, where do they connect the other end of the coil?... | |
| High Efficiency Options? The room is truly small, I believe 9x11 with 8 foot ceilings. Also I don’t think Klipsch would be a good choice for me with my tastes. I really prefer I nice full midrange and I’m willing to sacrifice elsewhere to achieve it. @brylandgoodman ... | |
| Balanced versus single ended This is why XLR is especially good for long runs. The additional line for the single path is also responsible for the 6 dB gain If your setup supports the balanced standard there will be no 6dB gain difference between balanced and single-ended... | |
| GaN amps: Peachtree or LSA Voyager? question - in your view, what accounts for some amps having noticeably better soundstaging and imaging capabilities than others? be it solid state vs solid state, solid state vs tube, class a or ab versus class d types most would say tube amps h... | |
| Balanced versus single ended n the conversations with him, I mentioned that, in my mind, for balanced to work at it’s best, it should be designed in layout (from the active transmission end and at the active receive end) with an RF design and build mindset, where the field e... | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II My belief is that the nature of current amplification vs. voltage amplification (namely how they load a cartridge with low vs high impedance) has a dramatic effect on the mechanical behavior of the cartridge and may be partially responsible for t... |
