| Soulution preamp DC-offset protection when I had the Spectral preamp I was simply unaware of this thing just because the Spectral doesn’t have this kind of protection Probably because it didn't need it. We don't have a protection circuit on our direct-coupled output either; in 29 ye... | |
| Foil damping tape as a tonearm tube wrap? The Sumiko Analog Survival Kit used a thin tape to be wound tightly around an arm tube slightly overlapping the winds. It was not heavy.The Analog Survival Kit was the brainchild of Warren Ghel, currently employed at ARC. He developed this about... | |
| Soulution preamp DC-offset protection @katfnc I would contact the manufacturer. I can't imagine why the circuit would need something like that, but that's me. | |
| Soulution preamp DC-offset protection First, the DC can't come from the recordings!!We make a preamp with a DC coupled output. Such a circuit needs something called a 'servo' to correct the DC voltage so that the DC output of the preamp is always at zero volts.By any chance does the c... | |
| Audio Note : amp and source matching xrayz is correct about the impedances involved.The speaker is a little on the low side as far as efficiency is concerned. Another 6 db would be really helpful in most rooms, but a lot depends on how lively your room is and your personal listening ... | |
| Quad ESL-63 and low-powered amps; Sun Audio, Atma Atmasphere, do you think the differences could be measured someday, but we have not figured it out yet?We can measure them now, but we don't go about it right. Essentially what is needed is a weighting system; one that applies more importance to t... | |
| Quad ESL-63 and low-powered amps; Sun Audio, Atma So as long as a well designed amplifier is not driven into clipping it should sound the same as another one not driven into clipping.This is a pretty big assumption. What is meant by ’well designed amplifier’?Designers have different goals so thei... | |
| Who makes the highest quality tube amps? All tube OTL amplifiers use SEPP, cyclotron or Mr. Futterman’s variations. All these are push-pull amplification stages. They can claim single ended, but they are push pull topologies. Feedback is mandatory in this designs to cancel out the art... | |
| Preamp for Burmester power amp kalali1,378 posts08-10-2018 3:09amWhy would anyone design an amplifier with only an 1,880ohm input impedance? It makes very little sense unless they want to force the buyer to (also) purchase their supposedly matching preamp. Just curious. Th... | |
| Who makes the highest quality tube amps? Collatio - First True Class A SE OTL AmplifierThis is most certainly false. Single ended OTLs have been around for decades and by definition are class A. | |

| Backert Labs Rhumba preamp And how does one acquire an immunity to interconnect cables? Is it from a consistent exposure to same that you build up a natural resistance to them? Sheeeesh!🤔😝Proper inoculation I guess.however, my encounter with preamp MP-1 is otherwise. In... | |

| Aesthetic preamp @handymann So you have a *different* preamp for the bass?I think you would be better off running the sub off the main output, if the Aesthetix will support it. The bass issue is understandable- I seek out original pressings on the older LPs, just... | |
| Preamp for Burmester power amp 3)The balanced inputs of your amp have an **extremely** low input impedance of 1.88K. I suspect that the Pass and Ayre preamps would be able to drive such a low impedance with good results, but it would probably be a good idea to check with the... |
