| Tracking modern pop recordings with very loud bass But can can any good quality vinyl rig track those well? How hard is it and what does it take? Does it take an audiophile vinyl setup to track modern pop recordings like these well? Cost?@For the most part, 'any good quality' vinyl rig will do t... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options It was just more detailed with subtleties that increased realism beyond anything else. That's what I'm asking about in a possible Class D replacement. Speaking from experience, the right class D amp can do that. Class D has as many variations ... | |
| what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. Ralph, when I say killed the sound, in my experience the use of fluid damping on the SME V reduced speed and coherency. Similar with the analog survival damping. In my experience soft materials tend to store energy, but dont disspate it cleanly... | |
| Tracking modern pop recordings with very loud bass Are there any new vinyl releases like this? Can people’s Record players track it? Or do the producers tone it down when mastering for vinyl.**Of course** it can be tracked on LP! And mastering houses don’t need to hold back. Back in the old days (... | |
| L-Pads. Speakers Awful Without Them, New Ones Ordered You mentioned this before, L-Pads are for the amp, not the drivers.I don’t understand. Right or Wrong?L-Pads, like any pot in a receiver, volume, balance, bass, treble determine how much juice, more or less, i.e. each one a signal strength contr... | |
| what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. When I distributed the SME V, it never spoke back to me. Nor me :) But it was obvious that the arm tube had resonance. If removing that 'killed the sound' clearly you have bigger fish to fry. Adding the Analog Survival Kit increased the mass of th... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options And despite the modest power rating, this amp had startling dynamics. Because the ear uses higher ordered harmonics to sense sound pressure, and because this amp was really being pushed to hard to drive this speaker, higher ordered harmonics were... | |
| what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. I ran the SME5 for some years. It benefited greatly from the Sumiko Analog Survival kit; its arm tube had a way of 'talking back' to the cartridge. The Sumiko kit shut that up. Using the 14" Kuzma we got Best Sound at Show from Dick Olsher. | |
| L-Pads. Speakers Awful Without Them, New Ones Ordered If you have a treble control on your preamplifier, which I might guess you do have on the Mac MX110, then you can achieve much the same effect as with an L-pad. @lewm This isn't correct. The preamp treble control won't control the tweeter outpu... | |
| Class D I don't see the potential dead times being similar as Qrr is a significant contributor of the dead time requirement outside of basic MOSFET switching performance. That's the body diode thing I mentioned. | |
| Class D Stop trying to divert that you were very anti GaN, and now pro just because it will be "the format" and suit your sales/profit modeling. Actually you’re hard pressed to find me being ’anti GaN’; that statement is false. What is true is that I did ... | |
| Atma-Sphere Owners, MP-3 Upgrade Yup when I bought my MP3 dealer talked to Ralph who said resistor package really not worth the $$$.To be clear on this, what I tell people when they ask is as @pstores described- this is one of our more expensive options and offers the least 'bang... | |
| Differential Balanced Sound Quality The term is commonly used both in text books and the professional recording environment as shorthand for the inverted signal in a balanced pair..It is and many people are confused by it! I apologize if you see this as being patronized, that was no... | |
| Help with noise in ONE speaker You can clean the control if its a slider from the front. You'll need a particular cleaner- DeOxit in the green and black can (available thru Amazon and ebay, link to product below). Reach the nozzle into the slot at the top of the slider in as fa... | |
| Differential Balanced Sound Quality So if I start with a conventional amplifier block with an inverting and non-inverting input and a single output. A single ended amplifier input might be a 100Ω series resistor followed by an RF filter & DC blocking capacitor, in non-inverti... |
