| Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? If you are convinced that best amps can be measured, you most likely hit a goldmine of technical wisdom, although the term "smooth" might be not universal enough to define it. However, in my opinion, that is not even possible, especially because ... | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp atmasp, thank's but no. 🤣 | |
| Cartridge Loading for a phono pre amp @rauliruegas What he is referring to is the constant velocity aspect of the cartridge, which is part of the RIAA curve. The faster the stylus moves, the more voltage it puts out. So the RIAA curve rolls off against this characteristic. In fact its... | |
| Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? C’mon folks, apply a little critical reading and thinking skills. Read and see what is clearly between the lines. While I had always admired Ralph and thanked him for his participation here (though disagreeing with his continued insistence that h... | |
| Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? No I meant in a much more simple fashion, i.e. a portion of the output is subtracted from the input. Literally negative. It would technically be out of phase but that is by definition. Yes- we use a resistive divider network to do that in our ... | |
| Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? In addition to what you write, is not the negative in negative feedback, simple because it is subtracted? If I get your meaning, probably not. In most amplifiers the feedback is applied to a node that has non-linearities, so often feedback sign... | |
| Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? Let’s simplify negative feedback = taking something ( the AC audio signal aka music ) that has ALREADY happened, flip it around out of phase ( that’s the negative part ) and feed it back into the input where something new and unequal is happening... | |
| Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? so you are ditching everything you have espoused (if not self-promoted) on this forum for twenty years in order to go all-in to self-promote your new Class D amps. Wow. Did you see me promoting our class D amps here? I simply stated the underly... | |
| Atma-Sphere M60 Matching DAC and Preamp Have you heard a Topping D90SE? If not, you might consider it. When you get a phono preamp, you'll have to consider a line stage at that point. But if you are only using digital, any balanced DAC will have enough output. | |
| Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? I would sincerely suggest to the OP to listen to an example of a modern high negative feedback solid state amplifier as described above and compare its sound quality to the Renaissance 70/70 and be your own judge. I’m not convinced that the "mode... | |
| Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? There is always progress. But to answer your question: Can a Amp be "timeless" and compete with todays amps? The correct answer is ’no’. The single thing that has held back amplifier improvement is something called Gain Bandwidth Product (GBP... | |
| Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp Would it be fair to say (or infer) that some of these boutique fuses are somewhere along the arc between a bog standard fuse and those FNM fuses? That they are definitely a step up but still nowhere near a FNM fuse? That could be why we hear a di... | |
| Old Classic Receivers: A Mistake to Buy? Finding the right semiconductors can be a real challenge, in addition to all the failing electrolytic capacitors, of which there can be upwards of 100 in a larger receiver! There are a lot of Chinese knock-offs flooding ebay these days; these are ... | |
| Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp Cable is cable. Fuses are fuses. OAK is the only speaker finish. Class Ds suck. Why are you still using tubes? Concrete everything to the floor. Speaker spikes work. and the biggest of all, Come to AG and get a blast from the past. @helmholtzso... | |
| How does room correction treat multiple passive subwoofers? Since I don't ascribe to that religion @erik_squires Its not a religion- its based on physics. At 80Hz the waveform is 14 feet long; it takes 2-3 iterations before the ear can know its there and its frequency. By that time the waveform has b... |
