| Is D for Dry? Class D... I don’t see much point in interacting in this kind of debate if the mods are going to delete/ban people for having a different opinion. @dougeyjones Its not the difference of opinion that got your posts removed, it was that you violated a forum ... | |
| Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound. Any vintage equipment like the Dyna stuff should have their power supplies rebuilt. The original filter caps in most of the tube stuff is all bad now- and if you run equipment like that without servicing it out you run the risk of destroying the p... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... There’s a reason basically no music is mastered using tube equipment, there’d be no way to ensure a consistent experience across platforms. This statement is false. Pick up a copy of Tape Op magazine. Tube mics, tube mic preamps, tube compressors... | |
| Tubes for Magnepan’s. key point is that well built ss amps can double power output into 4 ohms versus their basic 8 ohm load rating... tube amps cannot do this and can struggle to deliver even the same power in 4 ohms versus 8...Doubling power is not the same as that a... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... I think there is significance in Alberto of AGD being Italian. He surely has special sensibilities regarding a highly attuned musicality.From what I've seen, its more about how little distortion the amp makes. | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? @coltrane1 I've explained earlier on this thread why class D has opportunity to do better than class A- and that has to do with how feedback is applied. My comments on this are near the bottom of the first page of this thread. Keep in mind my comp... | |
| Is D for Dry? Class D... You can’t cheap out on your amplifier. You just can’t do it. Class D is an audio company attempting to sell product that’s nearly all profit. Class A. Now that’s an amplifier. If it doesn’t heat you out of your room it’s not worth your time. Al... | |
| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? In my opinion, people who always blabling something about “vibration” are living in the earthquake area, probably right on top of the vulcano or very close, ***becase I really don’t understand what they are talking about***!? Using over 6 turnt... | |
| recommended power tube amplifier for vivid kaya 45 speakers I loved their sound and the TAD micro revolution sound, but probably i will go for the vivid. I'm confused !Which amp do you recommend for those speakers ?If you like the speakers you'll need a solid state amp. Some of the more musical I've heard ... | |
| Transcendent T16 OTL amp - bias question (& general tips) The number is 816-333-7358 At the very least he should have a setup guide. | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" @niodari FWIW we've been working on a class D amp of our own design for the last 4 years. It **should** not matter to reproduce depth if the amp is tube or solid state. But the simple fact is most solid state designs have troubles in this regard- ... | |
| recommended power tube amplifier for vivid kaya 45 speakers @haimra The Vivid Kaya 45 appears to be a poor match for tube amplifiers. Its impedance is a low 2.8 ohms at about 130Hz; from the Stereophile measurements its clear that this speaker is designed for an amplifier that can behave as a voltage sourc... | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" I trust your perception - are you a musician or a sound engineer? I play in a band and have been playing since I was about 4 years old. I also run a recording studio that has LP mastering capacity. But I make my living as a designer for a high end... | |
| How to ground old turntable with no grounding wire Anyone has any insights or ideas as to what the issue may be?Yes. Your turntable has a preamp built in. When powered off, any preamp can exhibit a buzz. Get rid of the wire, which is causing noise to be picked up, and turn the speakers off when no... | |
| Nakamichi RX-505 and some nice tapes for it Is it safe to switch the Power on after 20 years, without risking caps and chips? Is using a Variac sufficient protection? Any other advice?Not really. The chips would be OK but capacitors don't like being stored without a charge- they are a bit ... |
