| Ideally matching preamp output to a power amp The correct answer is no- there isn't a particular setting that is 'right' because it depends on your system. Just play with the settings and see which is easiest for you to use and which sounds the best- and it might be that the two are different... | |
| This question is aimed to TRUE Elec Engineers, not fuse or wire directionality believers. That's because there is no need. I've got plenty of scopes but its academic.Just don't put a cap on the tweeter that is larger than it what is needed to cross it over properly, and you won't be able to damage the tweeter when DC is applied to the ... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. This is also confirmed by graph you presented from Stereophile. I am simply trying to tell readers that the high end of a disc is cut 12 dB higher above 2200 Hz. Also that the RIAA playback curve they are accustomed to seeing is for a magnetic (ve... | |
| Shorter speaker runs or shorter IC Runs...Which is the better set up and why? Decades of live sound work doesn't presume you've heard a good cable.The whole point of going balanced is to get off of the exotic cable merry go round.Imagine a technology where a $100 cable can sound as good as a cable that's $1000/foot. That's ... | |
| Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here! They vary depending on their current capability and condition.The little ones that only do 1000VA are anywhere from $150.00 to $800.00The big ones that can do 28amps continuous are $500 to $3500.00. | |
| Sell your $$$ cables and conditioners... affordable LITHIUM is here! Has anyone measured the waveform fidelity at full power on one of these?Elgar made power conditioners that can do a THD of 0.5% at full current and no need for batteries. | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? i love metal of all variety, but when listening to metal at home, I tend to prefer fast transients, detail, and refinement.Listening to Revocation’s “Greatest is our Sin” right now on a pair of two month old Sound Lab M645s with the new bass foc... | |
| ***Going Insane***End Game Speakers***Harbeth Verity or Living Voice*** 15 watts means you need an efficient speaker. The Harbeth is a great speaker but out of the question.Devore Fidelity makes a speaker (O96) that sounds more suited. It gets great reviews and comments and at 96 dB is really going to be a lot more sa... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. No- I liked the styling of the Marantz. I was also influenced by ARC. Both of these can be seen on the front panel of our old M-50 amplifier. But people wanted the tubes on the front, so we turned the chassis around when we introduced the MkIIs. T... | |
| Why do some fine solid state amplifiers like Soulution have such low input impedance? I'm not sure I would agree with Kirkus' assessment of FETs limiting bandwidth. Its all in how you design the circuit.I can't think of a good reason for such a low input impedance, unless the equipment was originally designed for studio use, in whi... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. One major variable that usually seems to be overlooked in such discussions is the criticality of the design of the printed circuit board itself, including where the chips are placed, how signals are routed within the board, and how power and an... | |
| Know about PranaFidelity? Steve is a great guy.We did a show (the last T.H.E. Show in Las Vegas) with his speakers a few years back- the room sounded very nice. Steve has been in the industry a long time. I first met him nearly 20 years ago. | |
| Tube pre for class d recommendations Interesting Ralph.I have 2 foundation research LC2...one grounded and the other lifted ...done by Ed....that I used. Meaning, I was really giving it the old college try to make it work.Lifting grounds is not going to do it with the UV-1 since it... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. µs, not ms75 µs, 318 µs and 3180 µs<facepalm>Correct!</facepalm> | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Thanks for the link. It is clear to me that above and below 1 KHZ there is 6 dB of EQ on either side of the red line, making a total of 12 dB as stated before.I think you might be misinterpreting something- The red line is not the EQ curve. If y... |
