| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil Yes, actually the original reason I started modifying the capacitors was because the miflexs were right on the edge of being too small for my amplifier's input impedance.Be careful- just increasing capacitor values can get you into trouble. The ... | |
| What did I hear? I wouldn't take that as the fabled Mac sound (which is totally different with their tube amps FWIW) but its not a stretch at all to discover that a better amp can sound better than one that isn't as good :)Welcome to the world of high end audio, w... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load You’ve now got to be joking!!, out of courtesy I didn’t mention which OTL’s wouldn’t drive these 89db JBL’s 1400’s, but now you leave me no option, they were a pair of your M60’s!!!!! and now your saying they’ll do a nice job on Wilson Alexia!!... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Our OTLs do a nice job on the Alexia, Sophia and the like and they don't do anything like doubling power. The Wilsons are fairly easy to drive so most any solid state amp will be fine with them. | |
| Pioneer XA 780 Receiver ....no sound ! I'd check the fuses. IIRC there are some on a circuit board internally but its been years since I've serviced one of those. | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load M.S Electrical Engineering, University of Southern California (2017) Pros for BJT: BJT’s are capable of handling higher output currents for signal outputs and can have lower output impedance in amplifiers intended to drive a low input impedanc... | |
| Advice on SUT for Koetsu Rosewood - EAR MC-4, Slagle/EMIA, other If the cartridge needs additional loading that should be placed at the primary of the SUT to load the cartridge directly. I find secondary loading to make a cartridge behave under various situations to be a sonic band-aid.Years ago I found it ... | |
| Convert Tri-Planar RCA to Balanced Connection Yes. The Shielding in the ground wire if you are using RCAs. With balanced operation its pin 1. | |
| Convert Tri-Planar RCA to Balanced Connection The ground and shield wires are all connected together in the black junction box. So my question is, all I have to do for a balanced connection is to run the tonearm ground wire to pin 1, along with the cartridge positive and ground wires to pi... | |
| Tube Amps With Good Bass Qualities We had an "amp try out fest" one Sunday a while back at friends house that had a pair of JBL Synthesis 1400 Array's, https://www.stereophile.com/content/jbl-synthesis-1400-array-bg-loudspeaker-measurements His mate came over also with his OTL... | |
| ATMA SPHERE SCHEMATIC for a UV-1 M/M....... I think at this point you might be being too hard on Will. I understand the frustration but ultimately he had us set up his preamp with the phono section and he seemed pleased with the results at the time. He posted as such over on AudioAsylum.com... | |
| My 1st Tube Equipment Experience It's normal enough to have louder digital. As long as your vinyl sounds good, don't get hung up on the difference. +1 really good advice! | |
| Tube Amps With Good Bass Qualities all you have to do is playPaula Cole - TigerSheesh. I can play that thing and it shakes the building. Easy. Just design the amp so it can't drain the power supply. Its not that hard- and its not rocket science. Yeah- I can feel my guts moving, an... | |
| Tube Amps With Good Bass Qualities From the perspective of someone who listens to a lot of electronica, i have yet to hear a valve amp that can bring the fear factor in the sub bass. I listen to a lot of electronia too. I started in 1972 when I heard Tangerine Dream on the local... | |
| Advice on SUT for Koetsu Rosewood - EAR MC-4, Slagle/EMIA, other My largest concern here is that it sounds like it is the optimal to build the sut to suit one cartridge so when/ if you do the cartridge square dance ideally you would need change sut too?No. You simply have to load it correctly for that cartrid... |
