| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. How can anyone make a serious judgement about the sound when there are more than one pair of speakers in the room?+1Its easy to show that unused speakers in a room are absorbing energy from the speaker being played.The **partial** solution is to s... | |
| Full detailed sound at 30 - 40 - 50 dB But if the total is low, the components must be even lower (or theoretically at most equal).@willemj The problem is that the ear does not treat all harmonics on equal ground. It is far more sensitive to the higher orders! Think log scale...We've ... | |
| Full detailed sound at 30 - 40 - 50 dB But if the total is low, the components must be even lower (or theoretically at most equal).@willemj When you have really low numbers typical of traditional solid state amps, the problem is that the higher ordered harmonics are simply not as low... | |
| Is powerfull Amps only for low sensitivity speakes? It is true that distortion goes up a little bit at lower levels, but it is still very low and below the noise level: 0.05% at 100 mW. Look at graph 16 in particular, for the output range of 480mW to 7.7 W rms. In that range it never gets above ... | |
| What's your OTL tube amp experience and suggestion? Is anyone familiar with the Alieno Ltd. 250 OTL (from Italy)?Its not an OTL, no 300b can make 250 watts. The power is being made by semiconductors. | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) @atmasphere have you tried the EPA-100 MK II ? No- but just by looking at it I can see an engineering bug. And I know that their bearings are not as hard as they could be, because the hardest bearings are available from only one source. Ralph, why... | |
| What's your OTL tube amp experience and suggestion? @cThe heat of an OTL is like it is with any other amp- the heat is based on the class of service rather than the number of tubes. The exception might be if you run an amplifier using 6C33s (OTL or not), which run unusually hot!If our amps are on S... | |
| Is powerfull Amps only for low sensitivity speakes? 2. Is there any *disadvantage* to powerful amps with efficient or small speakers? No. There is nothing about a powerful amp that is inherently a compromise of sound for powerThese statements are not accurate. If the amp makes too much power and t... | |
| Opinions on Possible New Set Up Our S-30 drives LS35as quite nicely! The LS35as are very tube friendly and you don't need a lot of power; i'd really consider a small tube amp of some sort... | |
| Full detailed sound at 30 - 40 - 50 dB Other than subjective listening, how might a customer objectively derive from specifications alone at which harmonics the distortion is occurring?That is a good question. You can get some of that from the spectral analysis. this can be tricky- ... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) So why that disappoint when vintage and today TT comes with its dedidacted tonearm: Rockport, Goldmund, Denon DP100, Kenwood, Yamaha, Sony, SME, VPI, Avid, Rega, Project, Clearaudio, and to many other to name it here. It’s the rule.In the other... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) the tonearm suggests a reincarnation of the EPA100 or EPA250, two very very fine tonearms from the Technics past. Why is that so terrible? Worst case scenario for someone who MUST use a different tonearm is you buy the package and re-sell the ... | |
| Dynamic compression in speakers themselves? Yeah, I understand that a home system is not going to match thatSure it can. | |
| Tri-Planar Vll "SE Upgrade" I have heard medium mass arms mistrack many records and then here the same records on a mission mechanic arm and they track perfectly.@tzh21y The issue here is something called 'effective mass' which is the combination of the mass of the arm an... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) I have to say I'm disappointed especially with the SL1000R; its not available without the arm! But maybe something can be done about that... |
