| Class D It may not double power into 2 ohms though, but that’s not important That more fake than anything!Most Class-D’s, independent tests, can’t better the 4ohm wattage with the 2ohm load, if they don’t turn off first, let alone double it. That’s how... | |
| 16 ohm speakers: any amp sounds better with more resolution. speaker cables less critical. Ralph - the Wagner you cite, what is your reference LP for that ?best to you in the new year ?London/Decca Solti conducting the London Philharmonic. My copy is a London 'Blue Back'. | |
| A question for 45 SET experienced listeners I've used a 6SN7 in a type 47 SET and it worked fine. Not too rich at all! | |
| Class D As said in my first post, they don’t give it as they either turn off going into protection mode, or they are current starved into 2ohms, or the worst oscillate. Your speakers present a very hard load especially the combined impedance together wi... | |
| Technics 1200 G a Forever Turntable? Looking at 1200G because of the familiarity, but is it better to get one with easier future tonearm changes.Once you have the bottom cover off, three screws hold the arm board/tonearm assembly in place. I've installed Triplanar arms on this turnt... | |
| 16 ohm speakers: any amp sounds better with more resolution. speaker cables less critical. @mijostyn +1The room that I heard that system in most recently was built to accommodate the stereo and specifically the Sound Labs. It really was a nice setup, and could play some impressive dynamic range. He was running 2 pair of our MA-2s and un... | |
| 16 ohm speakers: any amp sounds better with more resolution. speaker cables less critical. The diaphragms have a very limited Xmax. They get non linear easily creating distortion at higher frequencies never mind the doppler effect. The ESLs become even more effortless and higher sound pressure levels stay perfectly controlled and rel... | |
| Atma-sphere MP-3 Mk III vs Alnic L-10000 OTL linestage + Allnic phono aotl We show at audio shows with Dynavectors and the like that only have 0.25mV and don't seem to have any problems (we got Best Sound at Show from Dick Olsher with exactly that cartridge). The cartridge that we use in the shop is only 0.25mV and it se... | |
| Flat speaker sound/preamp the culprit?/external EQ needed? @ineedhelpwithcables From the link you posted I would consider a more expensive phono section, perhaps one with tubes. This does not sound like a feedback issue to me. | |
| 16 ohm speakers: any amp sounds better with more resolution. speaker cables less critical. Btw, I respect your opinion and I don’t try to make any offense to any one but only post facts and that’s all.Just before that:That manufacturer is totally wrong and as usual he never gives/gaves a first hand measured facts that can prove his fal... | |
| Purifi Class D: Junk? Using King Crimson's track to make a final evaluation ? Ridiculous.Formantera Lady, from King Crimson's Islands LP; very nicely recorded. I play it at audio shows quite often as it can really show off a system! | |
| Atma-sphere MP-3 Mk III vs Alnic L-10000 OTL linestage + Allnic phono aotl I have the Atmasphere mp3 mk3 with all silver vcaps. @zipost Your System page shows an MP-1, not an MP-3. FWIW, we don't recommend NOS 12AT7s in the phono (as seen in your system photos) as they tend to be too noisy. I agree that some of the NOS t... | |
| 16 ohm speakers: any amp sounds better with more resolution. speaker cables less critical. " all due to distortion .." what are you talking about, where are your facts?Your inability to understand the facts isn’t my fault. I’m writing this so you understand that I presented the facts *already*. If you actually have a genuine interest in... | |
| Flat speaker sound/preamp the culprit?/external EQ needed? I would also check the cartridge setup. First- how old is it and what sort of cartridge. If a moving magnet, its common to see the cantilever suspension perish after about 3-4 years. After this time the cartridge can take on either a stringent sou... | |
| 16 ohm speakers: any amp sounds better with more resolution. speaker cables less critical. Ralph, What I recommended to Elliot is that he first experiment with the settings of the L-pads in his speakers until he arrives at a solution that he wants to live with long term. Doing this would automatically involve accounting for the driv... |
