| Grounding cable gauge size Too bad though because it really is the great unknown as to the level of improvement in sound quality it can provide. Grounding is really important so naturally it can affect sound quality quite a lot. But I was not kidding that if your equipme... | |
| Changing Turntable to Balanced Output Have you measured frequency response and phase accuracy ( across the full frequency range ) in these situations ?? Sure! I've been unable to measure any loss of bandwidth even with 100 foot cables. To be clear though that means only up to 100KH... | |
| Changing Turntable to Balanced Output Do you really believe this. My understanding is that any low signal level cable over 3 metres no matter how whoopdido is going to have high frequency roll off. And what about phase shifts and internal reflections within the cable itself. I find ... | |
| Single Ended vs Balanced Output Gain In my case, I listen vocal Jazz 99%, I want a low voice most of the time as I do not want to disturb kids learning. I want the singer voice outstanding among all sound. Never mind that the recording was made using balanced connections! | |
| SET Shootout China VS The USA @mozartfan That Phillips amplifier is Push-pull. | |
| Single Ended vs Balanced Output Gain Is this typical on pre and amps that have both Single Ended and Balanced Outputs? @post2338 @cleeds It really should not be that way, and this statement A differentially balanced design will yield a 6dB higher output than it will single-en... | |
| Class A into Class AB No. There are also amps that have a sliding class A bias system, where the bias is increased with the signal level. This allows them to idle without much heat. Krell used a system like this. In tubes, you have class A1, class A2 (where grid curre... | |
| Class A into Class AB Every aspect of sound quality was improved by bias increases, especially at low listening levels. I ended up at 3.3x the factory setting with heat buildup being the limiting factor. Hard to believe that a no-cost adjustment could offer such an im... | |
| Changing Turntable to Balanced Output I’m not really sure this true balanced outs because the transformers feed both sidle ended and XLRs. I am relatively new to this. @audiosaurusrex Transformers allow you to run single-ended or balanced simply by grounding one side for single-end... | |
| Class A into Class AB Would you call that a class A amp or a class AB amp? @kren0006 By definition, that's a class AB amplifier. The rest is all marketing. | |
| Changing Turntable to Balanced Output @audiosaurusrex I don't see anything there that has anything to do with the phono section. | |
| Class A into Class AB Any way you look at it the amp is considered a class AB amp. All AB means is that at some lower power the amp is class A, transitioning to B operation above that lower power value. 'B' means that one of the output devices is no longer conducting. ... | |
| Grounding cable gauge size That’s what I think. Do you think 16-gauge silver to be ok? Of course! Like I said, if the wire really has to take any current you have much bigger fish to fry due to some sort of Bad Thing going on with a component or AC outlet miswired. When ... | |
| Changing Turntable to Balanced Output balanced shmalanced..........unless all your components are differentially balanced, you will not get the improved performance. This statement is false. The Ampex 351 tube tape electronics were used to record a great deal of classical and jazz ... | |
| Opinions on Pure Audio Project Quintet 15 Horn 1 Please That was my take on the Spatial Audio X3. The midrange wasn’t fleshed out and “real “ to my ears. @jjss49 That speaker can be quite revealing. What amplifier were you using? If you have the room to set up open baffle speakers the soundstage ... |
