| Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question @ssg308 1000 Ohms is so high a value it can't be affecting the cartridge at audio frequencies at all. So this has to be how the preamp is reacting to RFI. | |
| Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question @ssg308 I don't doubt you although I am a bit surprised. Others have reported Pass Labs phono sections as not needing 'loading' ('detuning' is a more accurate term) resistors. Simple decrease the load till its starts working... I'd start with 1000... | |
| Looking for a tube preamp that has xlr outputs. I sent an email to Schiit audio and asked if the Freya+ was AES48 compliant, they replied yes. See Freya review Sidebar 3: Measurements here.😎 Mike @ditusa I read the article you linked but it only mentions that the pin out of the XLR complies... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp The Raven has split windings on the output transformer so both RCA and XLR’s can be used at the same time (the RCA output uses one-half of the secondary winding). So feel free to use to use the RCA output to power the active subs. @lynn_olsen T... | |
| Preamp suggestions for Atma-Sphere Class D Monoblocks Passive has no sound....so when a person says passive sounds like X....X = the natural sound of the power amp & DAC @seanheis1 This has not been my experience. Sometimes you can get passives to work great and sometimes you can't. One of t... | |
| Pass XP-17 and Hana ML loading question I load mine at 47K and it works great. As you decrease the load it sees, two things happen. The first is the output level decreases especially as the load value approaches that of the cartridge itself but 100 Ohms will have no effect at all in th... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing @aw-agd, Likewise I would appreciate it if you didn't try to gaslight me. | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp was just thinking sub(s) and your post said it better. I'm not sure how to attach a sub(s) to the Raven Pre? Must be an easy way? @wsrrsw It appears there is a single-ended output in parallel with the balanced output. You'll have to check to s... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp @wsrrsw You have an ideal situation for using subwoofers. You might look into something called a Distributed Bass Array which is the use of 4 subs placed asymmetrically in the room so as to eliminate bass nulls and peaks in the room. This is often... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing I have the remote now, but considering downgrading to the manual volume if there is a lot to gain in terms of sound quality. @veerossi @armstrod If there's a difference its pretty slight. I've not noticed it. | |
| Wilson Sabrina X ... oh my God! and Jadis... or? The above is why---contrary to the common wisdom that an OTL amp is the best for use with the original QUAD ESL, the exact opposite is true. The QUAD has one of the most wildly-varying modulus-of-impedance curves in the history of hi-fi (from bel... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp Good cores are essential for low distortion. Capacitive coupling exists between windings regardless of the quality of the transformer. For this reason alone its important for the transformer to be loaded correctly so it expresses its winding rati... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing A brief history of gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductors | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing Does the quote above suggest Alberto (AGD) is misleading in his saying his GANFET is made for audio? No- not in my opinion. IMO it suggests he had a batch made that have low output capacitance. Low output capacitance reduces ringing in the outp... | |
| Spatial Audio Raven Preamp @donsachs Is this meant to answer my question? |
