| The Future of Audio Amplification Nobody cares about class T?People consider class T as in the same category with class D?Yes. 'Class T' is a trademark. | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Right Doug....2 -1 meter pair (phono to preamp, silver disc player to preamp) and 1- 5 1/2 meter pair from preamp to amp. Still not broken in.....interesting the 1 cable that is oldest is phono to preamp.... phono sounds WAY better than CD. Al... | |
| The invention of measurements and perception @erik_squires If you can find a copy of the Radiotron Designer's Handbook, 3rd Edition (published in the 1930s) its pretty evident that we've known for the last 80 years that the various harmonics are treated very differently by the human ear. Yet... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? ok - I will rephrase. The best linear tracker tonearms use the same force for movement across the record as a pivot arm - the groove. @ct0517That suggests the possibility of an air bearing. I don't have a business relationship with Triplanar, just... | |
| Merlin with Pass XA 30.8? Merlins were designed to be very tube friendly. Compared to a good tube amp on that speaker you will hear a slight additional brightness and likely not as much bass impact. The highs due to additional higher ordered harmonic distortion that is com... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. I am sold on tubes for analogue audio but am confused by all of the information on power. I see from many posts that tube power need not be very high or as high as the speaker manufacturer claims as a requirement, i.e. a 200 WPC SS amp is neede... | |
| How do you properly set up a horn speaker So for more of a 3d sound would closer to the rear wall or further out in the room be better- according to cardas- I should have the speakers almost 7 feet out into the room????Like I said, I've had good success with my T-3s only 6 inches from t... | |
| Can I run 2 stereo amps in bridge mono? No. You would need a buffer that has no gain but inverts phase, plugged into one channel of each stereo amp you're trying to monostrap.So you will need two such buffers, one for each speaker.The signal for one channel then goes into a Y adapter; f... | |
| Linear tracking turntables, whatever happened? The best linear tracker tonearms use the same force for movement as a pivot arm - the groove. This depends on what is meant by this statement.A number of linear trackers employ an air bearing, and thus have lateral tracking mass that is several ti... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G However, since the AP LP was an order of magnitude quieter than the other LP at all frequencies, and only somewhat more audible at 400Hz than at other frequencies, does this not suggest that the coupling is pretty good? Agreed that 400Hz seems ... | |
| Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar) I'm a fan of the Classic Audio Loudspeakers (+$12K).They employ a beryllium diaphragm that has a Kapton surround- and thus the midrange driver has no breakups until 35Khz. It runs from 500Hz in my speakers to 12KHz. The driver is also field-coil p... | |
| How do you properly set up a horn speaker I have Classic Audio T3.3s, very similar and have good results with them only a few inches from the wall behind them. I find it helps to have them toed in to the listening position. I recently moved, in my old room I had the speakers close to the ... | |
| DC Offset Blocker/Killer - where to buy in the USA I wish there was a video or some kind of a drawing of how to make this simple low-pass filter device but yet too complicated for me and some others.I am a graphics designer by trade and not an electrician but I am willing to give a go to make... | |
| Can I run 2 stereo amps in bridge mono? In a word, no. If you were able to invert the phase to one of the channels, then it would be possible. But the hookup you describe would lead to smoke, not just 'sparks' if you can pardon the expression. | |
| The Future of Audio Amplification I find Brunos definitions kind of useless. Most Class D have no Analog to Digital Conversion (ADC) stage, but do have comparators. Hence the feedback required. Actually the use of a comparator has nothing to do with whether feedback is needed or n... |
