| Cons of using main XLR/Balanced outs for subwoofer? @milarep Yes to both questions.The 1Hz response will insure that you have no phase shift at all at 20Hz or even 16Hz. Phase shift in the bass will cause a lack of impact. The transformer rolling off at 10Hz will exhibit phase shift up to about 100... | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? but many hear some thing not quite right with Class-D in the upper mids/highs with many speakers, and this is it’s Achilles heel.Technics (SE-R1/SU-R1000) claim to get rid of it by making the switching frequency 3 x higher, 1.5mhz, so that then... | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" I guess I don't really know what that term can mean or how to interpret his commentsWell that makes two of us. If 'voicing' is trying to get the most linearity out of the circuit than we do that. But we're not listening to it when we do that- we'r... | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" So far, if I'm paying attention, only the Sunfire 300 amp has been given props for an amazing soundstage.I've heard some class D amps that do very well too."I have no clue about "voicing" an amplifier. It is NOT a musical instrument. It is not ... | |
| Why do we want to distortions? what I am trying to understand is if the original recording is with euphonic distortions that are deemed as positive then don't we want the most transparent system to hear the original and How does tube euphonic distortions add a stage to... | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? No, You didn't, here's what you said:However, the driven device forms part of the output filter and thus effects the frequency response.In this case its hard to construe the FR being different from the bandwidth because we are talking about the re... | |
| Why do we want to distortions? Is it related with the feedback , you are talking about ?Yes. | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? There is little change for some products as I showed. For others there is a lot.It appears to me to come down to this. The reason is the filter isn't the only variable- class D amps vary quite a lot; some have zero feedback, others have feedback a... | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" Then there is less well designed S.S. amplifiers on the market than we may think?IMO, yes.In solid state amps in particular this is all about how well their feedback system is designed. Most of the time though the problem is the amp simply lacks e... | |
| Nakamichi RX-505 and some nice tapes for it I never tried Dolby SIts pretty cool. I once heard a live master recording made direct to a high end Pioneer with Dolby S at a reviewer's house. and it was very 3-D with no noise. Nice. | |
| Open Baffle Opinions - I Won't go back to Boxed Speakers Evr Again (maybe....) Yes, the one big problem is OB’s will tell you immediately how good/bad your room acoustics are. You do "hear" the room. My listening space is not ideal. Basically a square room with the hallway down the left side Speaker and a pocket where the... | |
| Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth" Question: Is it typical of solid state amps to have less of a front to back sound stage than tube amps? Do they vary in this regard? Yes and yes.If the solid state amp is properly designed it should exhibit depth as good as a tube amp. | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? @ieales If you look at my post that you quoted and the information you quoted next to it above, you'll see that we are saying exactly the same thing. TI's information cannot be construed to be seen as a change in frequency response. In that post ... | |
| Cons of using main XLR/Balanced outs for subwoofer? I'd use the Jensen transformers if I were you.The problem you can run into is that of ground loops when interfacing single-ended and balanced equipment. The transformers sort that out by providing ground isolation. They won't rob you of any impact... | |
| Why do we want to distortions? Tube amplifiers sound better because of the euphonic distortions they add to the music.I thought we were trying to avoid distortions. What makes euphonic distortions sound better? Distortion is in all forms of amplification. Of course we want it t... |
