| How many subs? the drive rack was not used for purpose, it was what it could do. I wanted a balanced product that could give delays up to 10 ms (not including latency). When the Acoustic Engineer said 3 ms delay there and 9 ms I got someone else to program it ... | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? What is it about the transformer?? What is it about the wiring? What is it about the chassis? What is it about the chips? What is it about the capacitors? What is it about the power of the amplifier? etc @emergingsoul Which transformer- the power... | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? @alexberger The problem of 300B they need a driver with 150 volt peak to peak voltage swing. For 845 you need much more voltage swing. If you direct-couple with a CF that's no problem at all! Here's something to consider: The grid of triod... | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? 845 is impossible to drive without IT! You get more driver tube distortions than 845 output stage distortions. You also can't get a good deep and fast bass. @alexberger This statement is entirely false (and is what IT manufacturers would like y... | |
| So I Just Bought a Cassette Deck @jaybe You're talking about ATR Magnetics. They still make cassettes. Their tape is good- we use it in our studio. Most cassette machines these days will need new belts and pinch rollers to be reliable as well as tires on the take-up and supply s... | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? Just my two cents, but having owned multiple ST70s and ST35s, I like the ST35 much better. @hilde45 This is a comment worth exploring! The ST35 uses a triode Voltage amplifier while the ST70 uses a pentode. In addition, the smaller output trans... | |
| Why do records made from digital sources sound good? Having said this I recognize that it is possible to get excellent sound from analog. I believe that many listeners prefer to hear the colorations from their analog set up (usually related to cartridge choice)and the sense of ambiance from LP play... | |
| Is Subwoofer Elevation a Viable Option? So, why do we even want the bass to be "reinforced"? If the low frequencies aren't reinforced in a uniform way, that might be of some benefit, but I very much doubt that's the case. Even if it does, why not just increase the loudness instead add... | |
| Is Subwoofer Elevation a Viable Option? Because the sub is typically on the floor, along with all the furniture in the room, wouldn't low frequency waves be blocked/diffused a lot. Wouldn't the sound from a subwoofer benefit from an unencumbered dispersion of energy into the room? @t... | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? Atmasphere your viewpoint in this discussion repetitively shuts down people learning and exploring. The whole discussion about bass, about distortion, and many of the other salient points you’ve raised, while one hand accurate, are on the other h... | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? How many maximal dB do we need for classical, rock, jazz music? It looks like the distortions from 50Watt heat on the speaker's voice coil and crossover parts should be much more horrible then 10% SET distortion on maximal power distortions. ... | |
| Why do records made from digital sources sound good? So can someone explain this to me? @billstevenson Yes. FWIW, I ran an LP mastering operation for about 15 years. When we got in a project that used a digital source file, we would talk to the producer to see if we could get a copy that didn't... | |
| How many subs? @bilateral No need for any delay in such a small room! If your 'acoustic engineer' thinks otherwise, fire him- he's doing you no favors. Here are some facts to consider: at 80Hz, the waveform is 14 feet long. It takes a full cycle to pass the ear... | |
| Load Settings Help: Luxman E-250 and Koetsu Black Line @sdavada The cartridge literally does not care how you load it until the load value is quite low and then the cartridge output will decrease. But when the cartridge is tracking, it generates Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and many phono secti... | |
| Vacuum Tube Preamp for Solid State Power Amp Pairing But, I don’t recall it coming with remote control. @larryi FWIW Dept.: Remote has been available for years for the MP-3. It might be a bit of a trick to find one with the remote at the price mentioned though. |
