| Itching to upgrade preamp... If you have a balanced line amp, I would go with a balanced preamp. The cables will perform better and the amplifier will too. | |
| Damping Factor - Interesting article @kijanki Interesting! | |
| Question for amp experts There are a lot of variables. Theoretically 'yes', in practice yes if the separates aren't that good to start with (IMO). | |
| Which one to choose between two 80K$ tube amps? What makes the David Berning amp so special?The output section topology gets around the traditional limitations of conventional transformers and so allows much wider bandwidth from the output section, regardless of power output. If you are wanting... | |
| Damping Factor - Interesting article @kijanki @roberttdid was referring to the idea of an amplifier that operates as a power source rather than a voltage source. Otherwise how this particular speaker sounds when connected to that particular amp becomes rather unpredictable. Regard... | |
| Preamp and impedance question Yes it wasHa ha, that's pretty funny. | |
| Preamp and impedance question @roberttdid I think its pretty obvious this isn't about EPDR... | |
| Which one to choose between two 80K$ tube amps? I have to admit I find this puzzling. Western Electric used to be the standard fare in movie theatres and the like, but their gear was supersceded by Altec, who had much greater performance and obviously better sound.Its a simple fact that the dis... | |
| Which one to choose between two 80K$ tube amps? One of my friend is the owner of Silbatone who display his vintage horn in Munich high end show.@shkong78I've heard that system in Munich in two different years. I liked it a lot. But having also heard the Classic Audio Loudspeakers, I would go wi... | |
| Which one to choose between two 80K$ tube amps? @shkong78 If you are looking for a speaker that will work with lower powered amps, one you might want to consider is the Classic Audio Loudspeakers Hartsfield (reproduction). John Wolff has done a lot to improve the speaker since it ceased produc... | |
| Audio Research Reference 3 Bypass Caps Question It appears that you are correct, but IMO/IME bypassing coupling caps isn't a good idea. Different caps have different extended series resistance, they have different dielectric constants (even if made from the same material) and as a result the si... | |
| Preamp and impedance question I shouldn’t have use his amps as an example that couldn’t drive those JBL’s 1400 which IS fact and not fiction, "which even he agreed on" way back on the 9-17-2019 and here’s the proof! Ralph's answer https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/1804702 to ... | |
| is the sound of vinyl due to the physical process of the turntable? is it possible to make a dummy record like the nothing record (1978) that was cut with no music just the blank grooves and play that while i run digital audio somehow through the stylus cartridgeNo. The problem is that digital itself has artifa... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load The output impedance of almost any class D amp is so low that doubling power as impedance is halved is no problem, even into 2 ohms. The limitations are current capacity in the output section, current capacity in the power supply, heatsink capacit... | |
| Which one to choose between two 80K$ tube amps? explains (to some extent anyway) what/why I heard differently between my SET (class A triode 300b) and my 100 watt push pull( class A/B pentode tubed 6550) amplifiers. Some degree of 5th harmonic distortion presence.Yes- nearly any amp along t... |
