| Preamps with Dual XLR Outputs @yyzsantabarbara If supporting the balanced standard is important to you (it results in better sound...) one thing you can look for on any balanced preamp is whether it has RCA outputs as well. If there is no switch to go between the balanced ope... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! If there are actually audible benefits to GaN based amplifiers I look forward to hearing them. There should be. GaNFETs are generally faster than MOSFETs (although MOSFETs aren't done by any means) and so the use of GaNFETs means you can run the a... | |
| Extra power or cleaner power? @erik_squires , what do you mean by 'any'?We've serviced the Elgars in our shop. They look very industrial but they are well built. | |
| Extra power or cleaner power? I would only bother with a power conditioner of any sort only after you have sorted out what amp you are using. Many of the 'high end' audio conditioners are so much junk so you can really send $$$$$ down the loo quite easily! Just make sure your ... | |
| best phono stage under 10k That's news to me! Now I'm wondering if there is more than one version. | |
| Equi=Core Hum & Other Issues After replacement of the breaker does it still pop when you power up the Equi-Core? | |
| best phono stage under 10k If I am remembering correctly, there’s step up’s at the input.The Steelhead employs a solid state input section for the phono section so no transformers. | |
| High Sensitivity Speakers I've tried a myriad of combinations placing my subs most everywhere else, but the symmetrical option has always prevailed; things simply fall into place sonically. Having an array of direct radiating subs around you can certainly envelope one w... | |
| How do I get the "most" out of a speakers that are rated for 12 ohms? @barkeyzee1 Your amplifier should be able to make about 150 watts at full power on that speaker.But as Bob pointed out its unlikely that you are actually using much more than a watt or two most of the time unless your room is quite large and abso... | |
| Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs The resonance mechanism you and others propose involves forced vibration in which some source of periodic excitation acts close enough to the resonant frequency of the tonearm/cartridge to excite resonant response. This is a plausible explanati... | |
| High Sensitivity Speakers @phusis Just to be clear, nowhere did I state that What’s more, "flabby" and "slow" bass as an antithesis to "tight" is hardly a compelling trait as something associated with natural bass. I simply pointed out that overdamped speakers often resul... | |
| best phono stage under 10k @sdrsdrsdr There are quite a few updates available for your preamp! The warranty can be reactivated too. | |
| Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs If this theory is correct, a rumble filter or adjusting the tonearm/cartridge resonant frequency would not correct the tracking problem (although I expect the latter would alter the frequency of the bounces).This statement is incorrect. If the ... | |
| High Sensitivity Speakers After 15 yrs, speaker technology is still almost the same, although there may have been some advances in implementation brought about by research. Well usually research is how advances are made :)I'm a fan of the Classic Audio Loudspeakers and h... | |
| new preamp @keithjacksontucson If you have a balanced amplifier then a balanced preamp will help you get the lowest distortion out of your amp(s).But most high end audio preamps do not support the balanced standard! The standard is important in that it help... |
