| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? Sound identical: obviously that's a bad joke coming from a rookie. Is it still a good joke if you're not? Raul, I cut my own LPs; as you know I have the LP mastering system as well as a variety of tape machines. You can try to write that stuff off... | |
| The PCB motor might - Tech which might actually make it to us Apart from saving copper and iron, the IEm stator is about 90 percent lighter than that on a regular electric motor with the same power specifications. It is also 15 percent cheaper. If these advantages were not enough, it also does not have co... | |
| Is the ideal multi-way a 3-way with limited bass? There's something to be said for huge woofers and not making them dig too deep would be easier to driveI certainly don't find this to be the case! My speakers are 98dB, 16 ohms and are flat at 20Hz owing to dual 15" TAD woofers. | |
| Which tubes are the best? JJ KT-88s are quite nice and hold up well too. They make some upscale versions like the 'blue glass' that seem to be worth the slight extra dollars. The Chinese make a very nice 12AU7. I avoid 12AX7s in my designs so I can't comment about that one... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? You are whom posted what I stated in the OP:""" " This is the one thing about the Triplanar that I don't like. I never use the damping trough...... I imagine someone might have a use for it; I removed the troughs on my Triplanars; its nice to... | |
| Just purchased a pair of Atma Sphere M-60 Mk 3's upgraded to 3.3's I would certainly unplug the subwoofer and see what happens :) | |
| High gain preamps [30db +] Do you mean in the line section of the preamp? | |
| Balanced xlr interconnects for ARC Ref 6se Might a xlr between amp and preamp solve group loop problem?Its supposed to, but ARC does not support the balanced line standard which is there to prevent ground loop noise amoungst other things. Its worth a try though! | |
| Just purchased a pair of Atma Sphere M-60 Mk 3's upgraded to 3.3's Hm. When we had the McCormicks here the system was pretty quiet after we worked on them. If you move the preamp, does that affect anything? If there is a big power transformer nearby, that can sometimes cause it to make noise. | |
| Is the ideal multi-way a 3-way with limited bass? I've been advocating something like this for a while, since really there isn't much point to making a speaker go down to 20Hz since standing waves 'stand' a good chance of causing the bass to not be right at the listening chair. A Distributed Bass... | |
| Just purchased a pair of Atma Sphere M-60 Mk 3's upgraded to 3.3's I tried the UV-1 with the McC Micro's but got horrible buzz. I even sent it to Ralph to sort out. He did improve it, but the buzz was too annoying. Some of my employees really don't want to do single-ended stuff since grounding in high end audio... | |
| Balanced xlr interconnects for ARC Ref 6se Use balanced connections whenever you can- this will allow for lower distortion. | |
| More power for moderate listening levels? My assumption is that the bigger Pass integrated would clean up the sound at higher decibels and would be a measure of protection against speaker damage if one of my family members decided to crank it when I'm not around. It will help. But keep... | |
| More power for moderate listening levels? how does one assign a nominal single value in ohms to describe the impedance of this speaker?Everyone does it different I imagine. 'Nominally' this looks like an 8 ohm speaker- if so that throws off my efficiency calculation by about 1.5dB. The im... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @rauliruegas I quoted the two statements that were in contradiction to each other. I don't need to do it again. I asked about them to see if that is what you meant to say. From your rather acerbic response, apparently you did. In a court of law, a... |
