| V-Cap CuTF .22 on Gain Tubes-- Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated This has been my experience as well- the V-Cap copper foil part is excellent and I've yet to encounter any annoying characteristics in it.I would have no concerns other than space in placing them in any output section. | |
| 16 ohm speakers: any amp sounds better with more resolution. speaker cables less critical. My amp has 4, 8, and 16 taps. If my speakers are 4, what strain, if any, on any of my amp tubes will that have? If you put the speaker on the 4 ohm tap, none, but the output transformer will likely be losing some performance- they can often lose a... | |
| Technics SU-R1000 a new Class-D GaN Technology integrated They must have listened to what Cyrill Hammer designer of Soulution Audio had to say about Class-DGuessing not. Some of the numbers on the site you linked don't make sense. | |
| Wally Wally Wally @lewm Exactly- has someone started making his products again?? | |
| 16 ohm speakers: any amp sounds better with more resolution. speaker cables less critical. They don't. It does change the sound and in making it more lean and etchy it can seem to be more detailed. Its not. This isn't how it works.What's going on is how the amp interfaces with the speaker, how the amp behaves when its driving a higher ... | |
| Tube Amp soundstage lots of feedback kills image depth, easy test with an SPL meter, genius ( mindful designer ) Roger Modjeski designed RM-9 with variable feedback :-) ears are requiredA bit of a correction here- feedback, properly implemented, does not kill imag... | |
| Need advice replacing my preamp When i tested Atma-Pre-amp to a SET amplifier Cables made a diffrent.Balanced and single-ended operation are mutually incompatible- its either one or the other. Single-ended systems are sensitive to the cable- that's always going to happen! | |
| Spatial M3 Triode Master Preamp/amp choices @jplunkettj You might want to contact Clayton and ask him what sort of output impedance he expects with amps that drive his speakers. All the installations I've seen have used amps with a fairly high output impedance. While I've heard class D am... | |
| Tube Amp soundstage There are solid state amps that can make a sound stage as good as a tube amp, but most of them are class D.The differences you hear between tubes and traditional solid state has been about distortion for the last 60 years. Solid state amps have hi... | |
| High end Class D amps? Moto Guzzi's feel very similar to the BMW horizontal flat twin vibrations, both are no-where near as smooth as he V Twin Ducati. For along time the 916 was my dream bike. Then a friend let me ride it and I never wanted to ride one again. It vibr... | |
| Need advice replacing my preamp 'my' personal experience running 100% true differentially balanced systems is that "I" have heard the difference between 0.5M XLRs and 1.0M XLRs from the SAME company: Eichmann Express Copper. Now that was ~ 10 years ago but I never tried it w... | |
| Dynaco PAT 4 Pre-Amp ....Why is it Bashed?? I am puzzled why there are so many negative comments being posted regarding this pre-amp sounding harsh and bright.It sounds good to me...clear and detailed.This is a common complaint leveled at a lot of solid state preamps, and often for the s... | |
| Spatial M3 Triode Master Preamp/amp choices I know our amps work very nicely on that speaker according to Clayton. I would expect the ARC to be a bit dry on that speaker. The Purifi amp with a tube preamp is worth exploration- depending greatly on who did the implementation of the Purify mo... | |
| High end Class D amps? Really more digs?Ducatis like the 900 you had look fabulous; there's a few of those here in town. Apparently every single one of them emerged from boxes, and as you pointed out, your 750 Sport (also a fabulous looking bit of Italian dreamwork) is ... | |
| Spatial M3 Triode Master Preamp/amp choices You'll want a bit of power- 50-60 watts is nice; you'll have trouble clipping an amp with that kind of power. My speakers are 98dB and I find that about half that- 30 watts- is about right in my room of similar size. Owing to the fact that your sp... |
