| Hypex N core module "if you want to have your product performing at the cutting edge it is not possible with today’s known switching technologies. In order to come close to the performance of the best linear design we would need high-current semiconductors that ... | |
| Hypex N core module @merrillaudio +1In the future when technology allows the switching can then be much higher to allow the output filter to do it's job properly and cut out all the switching frequency noise without effecting the audio band.This statement is false.... | |
| Hum!! If the amp can be cycled off and on with the hum going away for a while, its not a bad solderjoint.Tubes can do this if they have a cathode/filament short. But the problem is in both channels so I don't think its that.A filter capacitor in the pow... | |

| Speaker Sensitivity AND Power Requirements Generally speaking, In that room 22 watts usually would not be enough with speakers at this level of inefficiency. The thing is, this speaker does not handle a lot of power and in that regard your receiver is a perfect match. So if you plan to be ... | |
| Repairing Sansui G6000 FM and bulbs It is very common for the switches on receivers like this to have some corrosion. This could easily be why the FM isn't working. They do not need to be replaced! You can clean them using Deoxit (with the green highlights on the spray can) in a spr... | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. What occurs to the sound of the speaker when the transformer saturates or begins to saturate? Is transformer saturation a voltage or current issue?Distortion- Its pretty obvious. Its a power issue- both current and voltage (of which neither can... | |

| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. @lewm Yes, the tricky bit is that the transformer impedance increases as frequency goes down. So with a given capacitance with increasing impedance, the crossover point moves lower- there is no set crossover point! This is why the resistor is ther... | |
| high-efficiency loudspeakers Ralph is there an established price list for the "Classic Audio Loud speakers" ?It depends on which model and which options. So they can be anywhere from $8000 and up. I've not seen an established price list- just give John a call. @dodgealum , wh... | |
| Why do some amps provide more output power when using a balanced connection? "The Jotunheim is balanced differential. Meaning it will not turn a single-ended connection to a "Fake" balanced connection. You may notice more power from using the balanced headphone output with a single-ended input but I cannot speculate on ... | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G Have you listened to an RP 8 in controlled circumstances, and if so, how did it fall short? That would seem to be of help to the OP.From your post I can only assume that the Linn LP12 is not a well regarded vintage machine, as “...all the well-... | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. For the example given above where 10 ohms and 36uF values of R and C give you a X-over point of ~440 Hz, removing the R entirely would give you a high pass -3db point at ~4400 Hz. This would leave a big gaping hole in the midrange, because the... | |
| high-efficiency loudspeakers If there is a 'best'... I look at what would be on the short list.Another vote for Classic Audio Loudspeakers. 98 db 1 watt/1 meter, 16 ohms, 20Hz (honest) to 35Khz). Optional field-coil powered woofers and midrange; first breakup at 35KHz so very... | |
| Balanced Preamp recommendations up to $5,500 What about true balanced (ie, dual mono) tube HIGH BANDWIDTH preamp? Does such a thing exist on the face of the Earth?@madavid0 Yes, but to be clear dual mono and true balanced are two different things.Our MP-3 preamp is based on the first balance... |
