| Current, Amperage If 4, you need to check the 4 ohm rating. Some double, other no where near double power to 4 ohms from 8Just because an amplifier can't double its power when impedance is halved does not indicate that it can't behave as a voltage source. | |
| Do ClassDAudio Amps Have Proper Decay Of Notes? BTW, someone said that Class D is not "digital" which is partly true, but PWM is a digital signal processing technique, so it's understandable for those amps to be called "digital" especially from a marketing angle. Just had to put that in the... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? The only reason for lack of bass, which would also rob warmth, is if the source’s output is "capacitor coupled", and that capacitor is too small. It’s a simple fix to double the uF (microfarad) of the capacitor and at the same time use a better... | |
| Am i missing something without a power conditioner? does the Elgar give you any protection for surge, like a close lightning strike?Yes. | |
| SL1200GAE New Tonearm Cannot see how it can get much better and I have heard some great tonearms.As I have mentioned, the stock arm is as good or better than many 'high end audio' arms. It could be playing bass better though and could be a bit more neutral (the arm tu... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? Since degree of pumping varies with the LP and repeats precisely with the record's revolution, drive problems probably is not much involved - confirmed by cleaning belts and adjusting the player - no big difference.This comment really suggests ... | |
| Current, Amperage So, how much ‘current’ do I need? And, is this a rating or spec that is provided? Don't worry about the current!What is needed is the power to drive the speaker in such a way that its frequency response is flat and that its loud enough without aud... | |
| Best balanced linestage/preamp for $4000 or less ??? I was going to suggest a used Atma-Sphere MP-3, as Charles did, except that I’m pretty certain it only provides a single pair of XLR outputs, and no RCA outputs, at least in its standard configuration. If you can find one that you would want to... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Although it is very good it lacks in bass and warmth for me. I’m using the audible Illusions again.That is the most common experience we hear about passives. | |
| Solid core power cords under 300$ - List of manufacturers ? That pesky liability! Say'n! | |
| Am i missing something without a power conditioner? Ralph, very few real audiophiles want an industrial, discontinued power regenerator, especially one that would or might need service from a company that really doesn’t care about the consumer market way too impractical.The Elgars I mentioned are n... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? Electronics bandwidth is an issue too- your amps are full power to 1Hz. Most tube amps can't go anywhere near that low.But I have similar bandwidth with both the amps and speakers at home, yet don't experience this issue. I am using a Triplanar, w... | |
| SL1200GAE New Tonearm Yes, maybe I can be more mind-calm with out removable headshell additional connection joints but this is not the whole history as it’s not what the you say about the bearing plane where it’s extremely important for unipivots but with the solid ... | |
| Current, Amperage Julian Hirsh also said that all well designed amplifiers sound the same. He was certainly wrong about that, but it depends on what is considered 'well designed'. If the amp is designed to have good specs and that's considered good, that's one thi... | |
| Solid core power cords under 300$ - List of manufacturers ? The reason there is an aftermarket of power cords is precisely because solid core wire is illegal for use in a power cord. Romex is extremely high performance, which is why you really don't have to worry about what's in the walls (if that is what ... |
