| Looking To Match A Tube Amp With A Pair Of Audio Note AN-K/Spe would Manley Mahi's be worthy of consideration? Both have the same power tubes (EL 84). Oto is 10W SET, Hahi is configurable to triode mode at 20W. So what's more important in considering amp/speaker matching? Type of power tube or configuration?... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS There are many sources of distortion in class d amps, not only those you have mentioned, but also in the output filter. Do you use post filter feedback? Yes. Please share some measurements of the frequency response with load, THD+N with power... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS I wonder how well this new product will work with 16 ohm speakers? Sure, it will work, but, how effectively. This is a surprise for folks who have cherished the OTL designs for use with 16 ohm speakers. My speakers at home are 16 Ohms as well ... | |
| What phono cartridge is suited for metal and heavy rock? Its impossible to make a cartridge favor a certain genre. What makes it good for metal will make it good for jazz too. With high output cartridges, if not loaded properly they can be bright due to high frequency resonances caused by the inductance... | |
| Power regeneration - good idea? PS audio? you know I gotta believe all the wonderful power supplies that already exist inside a higher level component no doubt do a lot of what the PS audio regenerator does. So at the end of it all what is the point of this PS audio regenerator? Are all... | |
| Impedance matching/balanced connection Would I be correct in assuming that the balanced output impedance at 20hz would be double that figure? Its two outputs, each having that 1.3K value at 20Hz. I've not found input impedance info on your amp, but if its less than 13KOhms single-e... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS Anyone?Are they all basing it off of the standard “Bruno parts”? @holmz No. The amp uses a module of our own design. I don't see why it could not be used in a bi-amped system. will you, like Bel Canto now discontinue or gradually phase out yo... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS I wish you even greater success in the new year with them. Thanks! | |
| Impedance matching/balanced connection From a strictly mathematical point of view you should have no problems. The only gotcha I can think of off hand is most tube preamps employ an output coupling capacitor (ours are direct-coupled to get around this problem) and so the capacitor can ... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS Where did he get the amp if it's not even on the website? We're doing limited production and the product page isn't yet up. | |
| Nakamichi 600 repair question @misterbobman This symptom is typical of the tires used in the deck becoming perished and so don't have the traction they should. Eventually the take up spindle can't handle the load presented by the cassette and so stops turning. When that happen... | |
| Tiny Room (6' x 9') speaker advice https://www.vandersteen.com/products/vlr-ct This speaker is not very efficient, but according to Richard Vandersteen that's because it has far less breakups than most speakers, so should sound detailed and smooth. Its a nice size and goes down lo... | |
| Preamp recommendations for Quad IIs with ESL-57s @scrumpymanjack has this Quad preamp of yours been refurbished since new? If not, its in dire need regardless of the condition of the tubes. I am repeating this; I forgot to mention that if the unit has not been properly refurbished recently, the... | |
| Selecting Analog Gear Based on Music Preference? @jsqt It does, but bass is very much a thing in classical music too. The Saint Saens Organ Symphony has pedal tones that are 16Hz which can really shake the place up. Bass drum whacks occur in all sorts of classical music. So the turntable needs a... | |
| Selecting Analog Gear Based on Music Preference? @jsqt The main thing to keep in mind is that the idea that there's no way to design audio equipment to favor a certain genre! If someone can find a way they'd be a millionaire overnight. Put another way, what's good for classical or jazz is also g... |
