| What is your favorite High EFF speaker LP caveat was to have ten ft at least from the spkrs.And I never delved into what or how the adjustments on the driver’s power supplies or other controls accomplished or why?@blindjim I sit closer than 10 feet; they work fine if you're sitting dow... | |
| Trying different output impedance taps with tube amps I believe that Ralph has pointed out in the past that using the higher ohm tap results in less distortion, increased bandwidth and better efficiency. @charles1dad Actually what I've said is that all amplifiers (tube or solid state) make less d... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Your [sic]twisting things to suite your self, I never ever said that you can hear these frequencies, I’ve always stated they have an effect and the "output filters used" in all Class-D amp to remove them have an audible effect, because they cau... | |
| SET amplifier recommendation Just out curiosity, I plugged the ACA into my 89db efficient Sound Lab electrostatics (the 805 is 88db), and my Vision Acoustics Soloist (air suspension 88db), and yes it will drive the B&Ws, and probably quite well.No doubt! But its not en... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations ^^ Duke has always made excellent speakers- IMO/IME part of being excellent is being easy to drive! Amps just make less distortion when things are easy :) | |
| What is your favorite High EFF speaker When examining tube amps you'll want to pay attention to impedance as well. Almost any tube amp will make more power, have wider bandwidth and lower distortion when driving a 16 ohm load as opposed to 8. I use Classic Audio Loudspeakers model T3.3... | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad On well, I may have to spend a little more on long XLR’s since I am getting the m900u.@yyzsantabarbara You should be alright. It makes far more difference that the preamp supports the standard than the amp. To that end you can probably run Mogami ... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Which it's artifacts are, even the non technical can see it in any Class-D's 1 or 10khz square wave from on the amps outputs, and in the phase shift the filter produces down to 4khz in many cases.You can't see switching noise on any frequency a ... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Uh, George, GaN amps still need deadtime. It *reduces* the need but does not eliminate it.Deadtime is not a major source of distortion in a class D amp; you can double the amount used above the amount EPC recommends and not be able to hear it. OTO... | |
| Please Help Me!! That *was* a pretty funny OP :) | |
| Can you run the HANA SL MC at 100 ohms? ^^ Good. The highest load you can run without problems is the best load. | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad Thanks for your patience. Yes, our units do support the AES48 standard. :) | |
| Amp Options for B&W 803 D3 Speakers? Get a Pass Labs. One of the best sounding solid state amps out there. | |
| Eico HF-81 question for those that have one and moved on from it or returned A Stereo 70 will have more power of course.But if your Eico is as heavily rebuilt as you say, the sound differences will be mostly about the output transformers and other parts quality. Eicos came stock with ceramic disk caps for coupling caps but... | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking of using the long runs based on a thread you commented on. I am thinking of using a Benchmark LA4 preamp, which I think supports the balanced standard as you described. @yyzsantabarbara I would not leave t... |
