| Full detailed sound at 30 - 40 - 50 dB Also rather interesting that you should point out the relationship distortion has with harmonics and how you consider "weighting". There is always more to it...We all know about Fletcher-Munson. The Fletcher-Munson curves show where our ears are ... | |
| Full detailed sound at 30 - 40 - 50 dB Given your statement, at what decibel level do you consider the volume to be something "higher" than lower volume? The essence of the question is at what power level do tubes no longer "rule" over SS because of power concerns. Thank you. Its no... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Siegfried Linkwitz is the guy out there making foolishness out of all the "narrow dispersion is good" silliness. Maybe it's good in a PA, but not a living room. This crowd here deliberately avoids and ignores anything that disagrees with their ... | |
| Dynamic compression in speakers themselves? Classic Audio Loudspeakers also uses Mundorf capacitors in their crossovers.If you don't want dynamic compression, really the only way to minimize it is to run high efficiency loudspeakers. Hopefully what this means is that the voice coils run a l... | |
| Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp Most 300b amps are good for about 7 watts.The distortion goes up and begins to include the odd ordered harmonics at powers over about 20-25%. So you might have about 2-3 watts of really usable power- over that, you don't really get to experience w... | |
| Full detailed sound at 30 - 40 - 50 dB If you are wanting full detail at lower volumes, this is an area where tubes rule. This is because they tend to have a lot lower distortion at lower power levels. Something to think about... | |
| Upgrade bug - advice on amp or preamp upgrade from Ayre for Revel speakers? If you are looking for wallop, the ARCs pres are not the best at playing bass, especially on a solid state amp IMO/IME. The Ayre is one of the better solid state amps out there; if you plan to continue with solid state, I'd hang on to it. If it we... | |
| Balanced Preamp recommendations up to $5,500 You seem to have answered my question. That, it would benefit me to have the Tri-planar arm cable terminated with XLRs as long as I had appropriate inputs to plug into at the preamp or phonostage@nkonor, If the phono section is actually balanced... | |
| Hypex N core module If you think about it Ralph, linear solid state amps that are well made but with global feed back and a bit of it, also have the same lifeless sound that many say Class-D has.No argument there, but the kind of feedback Bruno is talking about is ... | |
| Once you go 300b it’s hard to go back? Call it what you want but how can anyone argue with the final result when a woman sits down and says the music sounds much more natural,then spends more free time actually listening instead of puttering around with music in the background? I do... | |
| Technics SL1200G vs GAE ^^ if you can set the SL-1200 up with the same arm/cartridge combo as the Garrard, and also set it up with the same platter pad (the stock Technics platter pad is a no-go IMO) then I think you will find that it has no troubles keeping up with the ... | |
| Hypex N core module Large amounts of global feedback used in linear amps is used in poor designs, to get good specs, the challenge is to get good specs with only a little local feedback.George, I'm a bit uncomfortable with this statement- a lot depends on how its i... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? Getting the two amps to work together properly will be a bit of a challenge. Unless you use an active crossover, I think you will find that to a very difficult task. The problem with using an active crossover of course it that its not actually tai... | |
| Balanced Preamp recommendations up to $5,500 @asp307 I hate to say it (and also a bit surprised, given the source), but this statement is actually false:”Probably because there are no phono cartridges with a center tap (6-wires) . So in terms of what we do with a balanced circuit you'd ha... | |
| Hypex N core module They heard that right. But had they been in a position to add 60dB, well then, suddenly they would have been confronted with a sound that is little short of magical." Bruno is spot on with this. The usual rule of thumb is that very low amounts ... |
