| 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... | |
| Would switching amps make a big difference? The performance of a solid state amp might sound subjectively brighter but that’s not because it’s tilting up the highs, but because it’s not rolling them off. A speaker designer who designed a speaker with a highly variable impedance AND tuned it... | |
| Tube Amps With Good Bass Qualities Yes that's for sure also, the main one though is the amp, it has to control the speakers movements, wild and varying loads, high and low impedances, and not be upset by any back emf from the speaker either.None of this is a requirement to gettin... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load George’s arguments are irrational.To which George replied:So you my friend are the irrational one not me.George's argument was both incorrect and irrational. This is different from saying that a person is irrational- the principle to use of cours... | |
| Advice on SUT for Koetsu Rosewood - EAR MC-4, Slagle/EMIA, other Ralph, I will ask Dave Slagle what he thinks about my setup and loading. The original sound tradition Hashimoto hm-7 I tried had an even higher winding ratio such as 1:30 I think. It sounded pretty amazing with 29dB gain. But it was a little to... | |
| Would switching amps make a big difference? @mijostyn Don't include the parentheses at the end of the link. A resistor will simply absorb power. The ZEROs transform the impedance so you get more power and less FR error.@viber6 This statement is incorrect:Actually, I think that although the... | |
| Tube Amps With Good Bass Qualities @jwlaff Here are some things to look for to get good bass out of a tube amp:1) if the amp has output transformers, look for low frequency bandwidth to 5Hz or less. OTLs can go down lower; what's important here is to have no phase shift at 20Hz and... | |
| Advice on SUT for Koetsu Rosewood - EAR MC-4, Slagle/EMIA, other Ralph, you would think the transformers would be designed for a 47K load which is pretty standard for MM phono stages. If not 47K how would you figure out what it was? Just a meter? Also why the capacitor. Wouldn't just a resistor do? I know yo... |
