| 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... | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad Would you care to mention the brand of XLR interconnects you are using into your amps? How long are they?My equipment supports the balanced line standard so the actual brand of cable doesn't affect the sound. I built some 30 foot cables using Mog... | |
| Zu Druid 6 @parsons The V-Caps are the most popular option with the M-60s. They do make the amps more involving- they just sound more real that way. | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations Consequently, a true horn will not fit our decor. That means Klipsch, JBL and any big box vintage looking speakers are out. So if that means I would not be getting a true horn so be it. At the end of the day if i buy a hybrid horn and I love... | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad The ideal system will have balanced input mono amps right behind the speakers keeping the speaker wires as short as possible. Balanced ins and outs let you use long low level signal cables without ill effect. Now you can put the rack anywhere i... | |
| Sansui AU-111 vacuum tube amplifier I used to service those amps back in the day... At the shops where I worked I tended to be the one doing the tube equipment when it showed up. The output transformers were pretty decent. But the parts quality was pretty bad. They used paper and oi... | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps On account of the fact that our amps don't have output transformers, they tend to be lighter than other tube amps that make the same power. For example our 140 watt amp weighs 36 pounds. It’s no secret that big honking transformers produce toxic m... | |
| Why According to some Turntable extremists Pitch Control and Direct Drive is Sacrilege? So called, home market equipment made today in garage is designed by mediocre engineers, who don’t have enough education and talent to work in Hi-Tech. Except for those that have degrees?? Obviously this statement is false. ALL vinyl record lacq... | |
| oscillation in power supply filter caps Hello, I replaced the four filter capacitors and now I have a minor amount of resonance in all the caps now. what gives or is this normalWhat is meant by 'minor amount of resonance in all the caps now'?What are you hearing through the speakers? | |
| SET amplifier recommendation @jdl57 6 watts isn't going to do it on the 805. Quite simply you need some power. | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp the sound of the interconnect won't be a thingMalarkey!Assuming balanced circuitry and connections are properly implemented, which far too often they are not, they can reduce common mode noise. FULL STOP.For balanced interconnects to be immune to... | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp that being said your Amplifier and preamp need to have transformers for the input,outputs to be what is considered a True balanced . This statement is false. You don’t need transformers, but without them supporting the balanced standard gets a lot... |
