| Highest BUILD quality tube amps? Hand wiring in a tube amp is a good idea. In tube amps with higher voltages, its possible for an output tube to create flyback voltages between the plate and cathode connections. This can cause arcing on the tube socket and if mounted on a circuit... | |
| What preamp creates the largest soundstage? Atmasphere- 5k out the door is a hard stop.@meiatflask OK- and no phono section, right? | |
| This question is aimed to TRUE Elec Engineers, not fuse or wire directionality believers. @rodman99999Without a load it will appear that the cap is passing a voltage in your example. The voltmeter, which is typically 10 megohms, is high enough impedance that it will appear as if the cap is passing voltage, but if there were any signifi... | |
| Power conditioner and high end power cord A good power cord has measurable effects on the equipment to which its connected. This can result in more power (less voltage drop across the cord), lower distortion and lower output impedance if a power amp is using the power cord. So it should b... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G So, I received the Oracle mat and the Project record weight for my Technics SL1200G. I found that the whole presentation is enhanced with the bass being much more solid. My question to Ralph or others, should I remove the sticky backing on th... | |
| How do you properly set up a horn speaker Atmasphere, I know a few people who do not like horns, period. I do too. But not all horns are created equal- like all tech, there are good examples and bad examples. As we all know rooms at shows are not always the best place to do an audition. I... | |
| What preamp creates the largest soundstage? @meiatflask Do you have a budget for your preamp? | |
| How do you properly set up a horn speaker I am thinking the " honking thing " batman mentioned was because he listened to them nearer field than normal. He was trolling. The horns on the T-1 per the OP have very smooth response, nearfield or not. When people hear them, they often remark ... | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? I think there is WAY more to a good metal speaker than just being able to "rock" or shake the walls or whatever. Being loud doesn't mean it sounds good. Details and dynamics, tight bass, clear smooth highs... served with a massive helping of m... | |
| What preamp creates the largest soundstage? Atmosphere- is the mp-3 balanced only for input and output? Can I use RCAs?@meiatflaskYou can use RCAs. The MP-3 (and also our MP-1) is fully balanced and differential from input to output. Because it has differential inputs, it doesn’t care if th... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. BTW the RIAA curve we are familiar with that is 40 dB of EQ from top to bottom is not the RIAA curve. It is the RIAA plus MM/MC curve.Try telling the manufacturers of cutter electronics that. Does anyone find this interesting or alarming that we ... | |
| Is there an actual difference between AB and A/AB ? Perhaps audio manufactures should drop the term AB and adopt A/AB to give consumers more info on how the amp operates. What are the benefits/drawback of two identical 100w amplifier but one is biased for the first 10w in Class A (A/AB = 10/90) whe... | |
| How do you properly set up a horn speaker So if my room is 17' wide( do to a bay window and 15'5" the rest of the room by 28 deep- How far apart should I start to place the speakers - Again I truly appreciate the guidance from someone who does not have the knowledge you have but want t... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? And from Merrill Audio who use the higher switching speed" Internally the Element 118 Power Amplifier Monoblock PCB boards are manufactured to the highest excellence available and further engineered for sustaining a most stable temperature dist... | |
| why a high end phono preamp? Are all stand along phono preamps both MC and MM? If a person knew they were only going to be using MM can a MM preamp only be purchased, perhaps even at a price that reflects it not having the not necessary MC electronics?Most inexpensive pho... |
