| Demo'ing Class A amps, Appreciation Suggestions from those who recently been there What about the XA25I can't tell from stuff online. A call to Pass would sort that out though. | |
| Efficient, affordable speakers for SETs? I had some experience with PHY drivers. The Ocellia speaker uses them and is very sensitive but not dynamic enough. Audio Note UK are an industry standard for decades but their output is also somewhat limited. The Ocellia and AN seem good for c... | |
| Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25 Eric, i thought feedback was something to create the gain. I am too far from this field, but will try to have a look on some books (e.g. why the feedback is unavoidable). Could something similar to switching waveform be used to create a correc... | |
| Demo'ing Class A amps, Appreciation Suggestions from those who recently been there Atmo- I read your comments about a tweeter's Unbearable Harshness of SS and hope you are somehow unaware of a cure. Cables?@chorus I suspect you have a typo here.The brightness is caused by distortion and because its in the amp, probably not somet... | |
| what's the point? According to this, all amps that are played below clipping sound the same (indiscernible).Obviously the statement is false.It presumes that all amps have the same amount of feedback (they don't) and further that the feedback renders them a perfect... | |
| VTA on the fly @lewm Have you had your Triplanar updated since Tri Mai took over? If not you're missing a bet; he's improved the precision of the VTA tower and its effortless on the fly. IF SRA is correct for thin LP, then, to play a thick LP, the rear of the ... | |
| Efficient, affordable speakers for SETs? PHY has introduced a new 6" driver that is inexpensive, 96dB and 16 ohms. Duke of Audiokinesis designed a sealed box for it; we're listening to a prototype of it which is very fast and images effortlessly. The driver is also suitable for OB or qua... | |
| Demo'ing Class A amps, Appreciation Suggestions from those who recently been there I like the extra dynamics and bass of the SS Pass but it does burna little bit on the top end over time. I adjusted my Tannoy treble settingsdownward to help this. @chorus I missed this earlier; the reason SS is bright is due to distortion. Its no... | |
| Short List of Amps I prefer over the Pass Labs XA25 or INT 25 Feedback is not the only way amps can give the gane? Somehow class d amps use double feedback to get to the switching waveform to transform analog sound to digital one? But how digital amps transform that digital sound back to analog (do they... | |
| seeking recommendations for a preamp Room correction is something I’ve always been curious about though. I feel like I should have tighter bass with the SVS. It can be a little loose and muddy at times.Rather than room correction (which can’t fix a standing wave in the room) conside... | |
| what pre amp for ATC SCM 40v2 spkrs + 250.5 Pass Labs pwr amp AES48 is a specification, **not** a certification. Your Crown supports the standard, as do Pass Labs amps, while their preamps do not.Most studio gear (but not all) supports the standard. That gear is where the sounds we hear from our stereo comes... | |
| Tube preamps, basic design parameters Do the materials dictate the ‘flavor or quality or reliability?Yes.A capacitor stores current for when the audio signal needs it, correct?Not in the case of a coupling capacitor. Its used to block DC from one gain stage to the succeeding stage of ... | |
| VTA on the fly But, it may also mean that the tonearm is not being held as rigidly as possible or that the VTA adjustment mechanism will become a source of unwanted resonant behavior.@lewm The Triplanar is pretty good in both departments. It has a knurled scre... | |
| Efficient, affordable speakers for SETs? @stereo5 Sandy is also one of our customers and has an S-30, which he uses on his Quads. BTW his Subx subs are quite good. | |
| what pre amp for ATC SCM 40v2 spkrs + 250.5 Pass Labs pwr amp So then I kindly ask which SS pre-amps are you aware that meet these ideals that you mentioned earlier? I don't keep track of them but as I mentioned earlier its usually pretty easy to tell if the preamp supports the standard. If it has RCAs in ad... |
