| Aesthetix + AtmaSphere You better watch out now Ralph. I got castrated in an earlier post for saying that cartridges were intrinsically balanced.If that happens again, drop me a link. | |
| speaker impeadance question I don't really like to use the phrase "constant voltage" here. I think that the term "voltage source." is more clear. In the industry the two are pretty well interchangeable.Compare how the three WELL REGARDED amps react to the impedance curve of ... | |
| Impact of phase inversion by preamp Then I would say that the speakers may not be well aligned. The point of the mentioned test was to determine the audibility of polarity. We used polarity correct recordings of acoustic instruments, 80's pop with all live players recorded with p... | |
| Aesthetix + AtmaSphere fyi...something to consider; the Mp1 can only be run in balanced configuration No Expections! This statement isn't entirely true. We can outfit the MP-1 and MP-3 with additional RCA connections (both already have two unbalanced line level inputs).... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load All we have here are a few manufacturers spruiking their new or yet to be released Class-D amps without any shame, saying they "can handle" the 2ohm load, making out they can drive this speaker to it’s best in the bass. Without presenting any m... | |
| My 1st Tube Equipment Experience Couldn't tell you as I've not heard them but I can tell you I prefer tubes especially in preamps. You need them to get things right at the front end of the system; no amount of the best amps and speakers can bring back missing elements in the sign... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Nothings been put to rest, let’s see the independant test or even his own, that show the rms wattage doubling just before clipping (same distortion) with all three 8, 4, and 2ohm loads, then I’ll eat my words, and congratulate you on doing some... | |
| My 1st Tube Equipment Experience Now I'm wondering what a better DAC would do.:) | |
| Zyx R50 problem or not? Swap the tone arm connections on the back of the cartridge left for right.Does the problem move? Yes=cartridge No=something after the cartridge. If no, swap the connections on the back of the preamp.Does the problem move? Yes= tonearm or tonearm c... | |
| new phono pre Pass Labs Xp-15 phono pre See what you think with no loading at all (which should be 47K).My understanding is that the Pass Labs phono sections are pretty stable. It gets a bit technical, but the loading is often required for the benefit of the preamp, not the cartridge. T... | |
| speaker impeadance question You won't damage the speaker. The feedback in the Mac will handle that impedance spike just fine. | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Looks like there’s still no takers willing to put it on the line, and post up the 8ohm, 4ohm, 2ohm wattage measurements just before clipping, to see if they are "almost" doubling the wattage for each halving of load, so to prove if their amp/s ... | |
| Speaker wants 100 watt RMS. Is 40 watt tube OK? Please correct me if I'm wrong as I am not an expert but I have always felt that that the higher current amps give much better control over the speaker. Damping also plays a critical role. I feel like watt ratings although important are usually... | |
| Audio Research VT100 MK1 and LS15 HELP!!! @atmasphere im not quite understand what you’re saying... can u explain. Thanks @kentrent Yes: Play a track with bass that you know.Go to the back of one speaker, left or right doesn't matter. Reverse the speaker connections. Play the bass track ... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load ^^ +1 @erik_squires yes, that response on George's part surprised me as well. |
