| Could Class D really be that good? People all over the world have changed those op amps and get different sound.....You, however claim that in a low gain circuit that all op amps have no sound. You are again a minority of one here.....thousands of audiophiles and manufacturers wou... | |
| Could Class D really be that good? NAD’s Director of Technology, Greg Stidsen, had this to say: “Like all amplifier classes, there are advantages and disadvantages to class-D. What is attractive about class-D is its relative efficiency and freedom from the vagaries of parts quali... | |
| Decware Sarah 300B Amp? @tksteingraber Sure! The Dynaco ST35 is a very nice circuit design. The amp at the link is new and a kit. But Dynaco made this amp decades ago and so vintage units can be found; if properly refurbished they'll give any SET a run for the money. Dy... | |
| Decware Sarah 300B Amp? @bluethinker Why do you want an SET? There are Push-pull class A amps that are just as musical and involving, if not more so. Almost any of them would have wider bandwidth at either end of the spectrum. | |
| Could Class D really be that good? For those contemplating the question of this thread, you aren't the only ones: https://pmamagazine.org/is-class-d-amplification-now-better-than-class-a-b-and-class-a/ @ricevs It took you two days to reply and that is all you can come up with?... | |
| SUT help Help me out please, when the Phon' of Phon's does become available for my experiencing. How do I capitalise on this opportunity. Must the TA be the £60K Sat. Must the LOMC be over £20K Must the TT be north of £80Kish Must the Interconnects b... | |
| Hum mystery to me @dmgrant1 Whenever you have a problem in one channel only, to find out what's up you swap cables (at one end only) left for right to see if the problem moves. 1) Since the hum is associated with the outboard phono section, swap its output cables ... | |
| moving coil loading @imhififan If that schematic is correct, that preamp is susceptible to RFI injected directly into its input via the tonearm cable. So the 30dB peak that can result from certain LOMC cartridges would likely cause the phono section to make distortio... | |
| moving coil loading @vtacoustatx You are not loading the cartridge to any effect you can hear until the load is extremely low. The loading resistor is there for the benefit of the phono preamp, which apparently is sensitive to Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Th... | |
| SUT help @lewm Yes, I was just pointing to a reason why SUTs tend to be less spacious, detailed and involving even when properly loaded as compared to when you are able to run direct-in. | |
| Could Class D really be that good? The only way to know if a single component (or several) changes the sound and or measurement is to use the same amp and just change the parts. Then you will actually KNOW something. This statement contradicts this one: I did not say it chang... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? It’s just an observation that I came to realize after 50 plus years of playing records using different turntables, arms, phone amps and cartridges. There’s no mechanism involved, just personal experience. Could it be wrong? Maybe…Addressing your ... | |
| SUT help @elliottbnewcombjr @lewm @mmcgill829 Here is something you all might want to consider. Audio transformers of all types make distortion. If they are not loaded properly they will make more distortion but you can never make them distortion-free no m... | |
| Cool running, low powered power amp @mspot Its driving Fritz loudspeakers Carbon 6s. I use a subwoofer in that system as well. | |
| Could Class D really be that good? I have NEVER in my entire life heard of any high end audio designer, engineer, manufacturer say this Hm. Not been around, apparently. The only way to know if a single component (or several) changes the sound and or measurement is to use the s... |
