| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? Amplifier speaker integration is only hard if your speakers have a hard to drive impedance curve, and if your amplifier has a high output impedance.Of course this statement is not 100% true, which is why equipment matching is important.An exampl... | |
| Pre-Amp Shootout I have been experimenting with a Marchand XM26 crossover going to a few of the different amps into a pair of Maggie 1.6's with new crossovers and the bass section of the VR-4's. The sound is rich but not quite right. Has anyone heard an elect... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? My understanding is that one of the reasons that low feedback may be beneficial, is that the feedback is very slightly out of time with and that the human ear is extremely sensitive to this. Like all things, I am sure that the selection of fe... | |
| TECHNICS 100th Anniversary 2018 Premium Turntables. Their best ever. Ralph, it seems needledrops were plenty good enough for *everyone* to decide that the new Technics 1200 "trashed" MF's "big rig"! ;) :DThe new 1200 has to have a lot of people making turntables worried!The problem with a needledrop is you can't r... | |
| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? I'd be much more interested in these speakers if I could use my active crossover with 100 Hz high pass and low pass boards with them. I would send the high pass signal through my tube amp to the panel of the LFT-8b, then the low pass through my... | |
| Low-heat-output amp for Devore O/96 the heating of the room in the summer with tube amps is real, I'm not the only person who has reported this. Not all of us blast the AC constantly, it's expensive and it's also noisy, and I don't like noise in my listening room.We have a custom... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! 10 years ago class D had already been around for a while, but back then they weren't bringing home the bacon against the prior art. But it was obvious even ten years ago that it was a rising star. In the last few years though its become a technolo... | |
| Low level buzzing coming from tweeters. Gotta be the amps?Yes. | |
| TECHNICS 100th Anniversary 2018 Premium Turntables. Their best ever. @moonglum needle drops on YT aren't really going to tell you much. There are too many variables! | |
| Silent Running Audio (SRA) - new Web site now on-line Glad he got it back up and running. | |
| Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp Both the tweeter and midrange compression drivers incorporate Kilpsch’s best- effort phasing plugs to maintain coherent wave fronts, and both have been updated to titanium diaphragms for extended response and lower distortionThe phase plugs are... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? Is it possible that one of the reasons that Valve amps sound so good is that they tend to use much lower amounts of feedback that most transistor amps? I have noticed that the sound seems to open out as I select lower amounts of feedback.You can... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp Having researched this issue myself now for quite a while, if I were running a SET and looking for good sounding HE speakers to match on a budget, that can play ANY kind of music well, Klipsch Heresy III, hands down, easy decision. These were o... | |
| Low-heat-output amp for Devore O/96 How about a timer on your AC outlet? Or a circuit that senses that when there is no signal for a while, it shuts off?I used to live in Asheville and it got pretty humid in the summer. It does that here in Minnesota too. So far, I've not had to res... | |
| Oomph or pressure? And yet there are guys out there who don’t care for the result. “It sucks the life out of the music”, is a commonly heard refrain (really - I’m being serious here!). Maybe they are reacting psychologically to the need to turn the volume control ... |
