| To horn or not to horn I am speaking about using tube (push pull, SET etc)amps , this does not concern ss amplification. Horns can work just fine with solid state as well. But it had better be good solid state, not the kind that is bright and harsh. | |
| Compression Horns for Far field listening The seller does not speak good english, what i think he is trying to get across is that his TI horn may not be ideal match for a small room acoustics.Anyone have experience with TI Horns can chime in please.The TI Horn will sit on top of a 8 i... | |
| Are Preamplifier’s Relevant Today or just a Hinderance with Digital Playback ? I find attitudes toward preamplifiers in general within some computer audio communities heavily one sided against preamplifiersThis is because invariably the DAC is right next to the amp using a very short cable in most cases, and there being seve... | |
| My NAD 3020 D proves your Class D tropes are wrong Going along with that, there is something about some Class D that requires DAYS to warm up. @erik_squires I missed this earlier. This is not true of all class D amps. I'm not contesting that this is your experience with your amp, but its nothing ... | |
| Looking for my Final Pair!! @dave_b Just for the record, Raul took my comments out of context. | |
| The two most common mistakes are bass and treble @clio09 I wasn't really saying you were wrong, nor did I feel that you were saying that I was either, but I felt from your comments that I should flesh some things out a bit more. I agree with everything Roger states from your comment above. Despi... | |
| 30 foot long Balanced Cables to Balanced/RCA Adapters into Amp's Stereo RCA inputs? what choice would you have made, 22 awg or 16 awg?The balanced cables we use typically have 20ga conductors. Over 50 feet and the impedances usually used in balanced lines the difference in DCR wouldn't amount to anything. | |
| Equalization for vinyl nirvana You can choose one of three standard EQ curves (RIAA, DECCA-LONDON, AMERICAN COLUMBIA), all with optional “Enhanced” function.Only the RIAA curve is used for stereo LPs. The LP mastering electronics do not have a provision for changing the curve- ... | |
| Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ? As no one in their right mind would prefer the sound of class-B xover distortion no matter how little.There aren't any class B amps available in the consumer market, so this is no worries. | |
| The two most common mistakes are bass and treble To Atmasphere: I’m on my third pair of low impedance, super-inefficient Magnepans. I’ve had many other brands of speakers - Altec, Allison, Advent, AR, B&W, Definitive Technology, Elac, KLH, Klipsch, and Wharfdale.In my opinion, Magnepans are ... | |
| Are Preamplifier’s Relevant Today or just a Hinderance with Digital Playback ? The long and the short you can then use passive attenuation which is represented by resistance, vs adding via active preamps which can't help themselves but add various flavors of reactance, in so doing distancing you from what is possible. The... | |
| My NAD 3020 D proves your Class D tropes are wrong I can always hear class d amplification because it is so tonally off that it is like fingers scratching on a chalkboard to me. I just listened to a class D yesterday that was more focused and just as relaxed as a good tube amplifier. So I very muc... | |
| The two most common mistakes are bass and treble Not saying you are incorrect, but give me an idea of a couple of common inefficient speakers, and a couple you think do a great job. What is your cut-off for efficiency and impedance, more or less? What is good, and what is bad?What a joke about... | |
| The two most common mistakes are bass and treble Hey Ralph, I finally got the speakers. Roger has labeled them 645-8's. I put a picture of them on my system page. I have a new Cosmos coming from Sota and a Schroder CB to put on it following which it will be time to think about amplifiers:-)@m... | |
| 30 foot long Balanced Cables to Balanced/RCA Adapters into Amp's Stereo RCA inputs? % of purity between Pure and OFC is very slightActually if they are being honest there isn't any at all. 'Pure' is a marketing term; OFC is what there is. |
