| Congratulations Atmasphere! Just curious whether you currently offer multi-channel versions of your amp? Or have any plans to do that i the near future? We are considering an integrated amp. Right now our main concern is getting the amps out the door as timely as we can. | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions What can you say, generally speaking about the distortion make up for class A and highly biased Class a/b solid state amplifiers? Are they generally the higher distortion 2nd harmonic type or the lower distortion 3rd harmonic type.. or have I mis... | |
| Grant Fidelity Treasure Globe 6SN7 SE Do you recall any specific differences besides the potential for microphonic issues? Not really. The internals looked quite similar too. | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II +1 Dave. Thanks! Your description also supports my prior assertions- so lookout- Raul will be after you next 😁 | |
| Top 10 vintage cassette decks I like the Nakamichi decks- they are built quite nicely... BUT the three-head models are prone to failure of the 3rd (record) head. The head is very difficult to find and expensive when you do. You may pay as much for that head as you do for the... | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions So the situation is not completely hopeless. Ralph, how these distortion parameters reflect the distortion of the harmonics of each degree? I think that now i know that i am looking for an amp with small first order distortion but large second ... | |
| Grant Fidelity Treasure Globe 6SN7 SE I haven't heard the Linlai Elites, but would love to read a comparison between the two. Anyone?? We did a comparison and IMO they sounded very similar- and both excellent. However, the globe structure has a decided resonance that the Linlai doe... | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions Electric engineers succeed to develop exceptionally sounding equipment, but the existing parameter for measuring their ``distortion'' seem to me to be useless. Engineers have other measurement tools: distortion vs frequency (rising distortion ... | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II Incidentally, I don't intend to further participate in this exchange. @wynpalmer4 That's unfortunate. I was/am familiar with Lenz's Law. I was simply hoping you could elucidate on how the input of the phono preamp (where the load is) provide... | |
| Best Smaller Bookshelf Speakers For Use Exclusively With Ambient Music? Think Eno, Will Ackerman, Sigur Ros, Ludovico Einaudi, Dead Can Dance, Enya, George Winston, etc. I have a set of Fritz speakers that have been very satisfying. https://www.fritzspeakers.com/Fritz%20Carbon%206%20Technical%20Specifications.htm ... | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions I am very sad that Ralph’s Class D is designed only for Nth America and Canada (and perhaps a few others) electricity supply, otherwise I’d be placing my order. @noske We recently documented that our noise emissions meet EU directives; we alway... | |
| Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine? Since you took a swipe, Ralph, perhaps because you possibly thought I was taking a swipe at you, I propose that maybe you state your position or purchase or support a hair differently next time so it does not look like it could be virtue signalli... | |
| A preamp recommendation maybe @atmasphere can elaborate on their differences as well as the bass concerns you have from reading the MP1 reviews). Anyway, hope this helps and FWIW. @dracule1 @soix The MP-1 does not lack for bass compared to any of our other preamps, an... | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II The distinction between virtual and actual ground is a subtle one. When an opamp inverting input is used, the virtual ground is extremely similar to a real ground as the action of negative feedback makes it so. The difference is in the error ter... | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II For the record (if you see what I did there) I've never stated that loading a cartridge would cause mistracking! That is simply Raul with his usual logical fallacies again (in this case, the classic Strawman). What I have stated is that loading t... |
