| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K @blindjim I think you can get into a set of Classic Audio Loudspeakers model T3 for the budget you've mentioned.The speakers are easy to set up in most rooms. I have them about 6 inches from the wall behind them and they image very nicely. You don... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @islandmandan , I'm with Al on this one. The amp should be fine with no input connected, go ahead and disconnect the input and see if you still have that noise. If so => amplifier, if not => input | |
| New Technics SL 1200 GAE We had to replace the stock mat on the Technics as well. It posed a bit of a problem, as a proper mat should have a very intimate relationship with the platter (in this case, glued down). That meant that we couldn't use the screws that hold the pl... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @islandmandan I'll be very interested to see what any of your replies might have to say.What sort of noise are you encountering? | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @erik_squires If you use a delta-sigma encoding process, you are converting analog to digital, no?No- not exactly. You are converting from analog to a pulse train. Very convenient for going digital from there, which is why its used in the digital ... | |
| XLR Question Just from a black box point of view it sounds like the Onkyo might not be working. Have you tried any other sources with it? | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Delta Sigma processing = digital. :) Most Class D amps are not digital. Weird. :) Delta Sigma is not digital. It is a process used for digital encoding and there is a nuance there; its safer to say that data in a memory system is 'digital' (1s and... | |
| New Technics SL 1200 GAE @nkonor I hope you are feeling better! | |
| A New Ground -- Benefits of introducing the Synergistic Research Active Ground Block SE @whart I know it is grounded now, but will hum unless I lift the ground. I do have a decent meter and will poke around without opening up the units. That suggests that the audio and chassis are the same thing FWIW...@lowrider57 Two questions; wil... | |
| A New Ground -- Benefits of introducing the Synergistic Research Active Ground Block SE @whart If you have a DVM there is a simple measurement that will tell you if the amp/preamp/whatever is properly grounded.With the unit unplugged and out of the system, the DVM set to the Ohms scale:The center pin of the IEC connection (or ground ... | |
| New Technics SL 1200 GAE Hello Norb, the nice thing about the Technics is its reliable and is not likely to need any service likely for decades if its not abused.Its a bit of a statement that no turntable has been more speed stable than the SP10 MkIII in the succeeding d... | |
| RMS Power? @almarg Widespread usage of incorrect terminology doesn’t make it correct. Just as widespread misuse of the English language doesn’t make it correct. For example, many people would say that they could care less about this topic, even though tha... | |
| Bass in Phono Stages I avoid SUTs on account of they rob the phono of detail and often bass impact too. The Jensens are some of the best out there FWIW. | |
| RMS Power? The term refers to the fact that if you are to calculate the output power, then the AC voltage used in the calculation must be RMS volts.To do this, first find the peak to peak AC voltage that is the output of the amplifier into a known load such ... | |
| A New Ground -- Benefits of introducing the Synergistic Research Active Ground Block SE @folkfreak No. The ground of the arm is independent of the audio signal. In fact what is happening is that the tone arm is a balanced source which in most cases is being operated single-ended. That's why you wind up with that grounding wire which ... |
