| A New Ground -- Benefits of introducing the Synergistic Research Active Ground Block SE @folkfreak Sorry Ralph -- you're dodging my question. If I accept your argument then installing the grounding box fixes all of the issues that the designers of the original equipment caused by (as you hypothesize) grounding the chassis of some ... | |
| Could someone suggest a decent audiophile cartrige for a Technics dj TT? We use a Grado Gold on our older Technics SL1200 which we use in our mastering lab to listen to cuts we've made on the lathe. I've yet to see it mistrack. | |
| A New Ground -- Benefits of introducing the Synergistic Research Active Ground Block SE Hello Al,The resistor is there to prevent ground currents and often 10 ohms is enough to do the job, just as you see in the old Dynaco gear. I like a little more myself, and its not a bad idea to place some high current diodes in opposite directio... | |
| A New Ground -- Benefits of introducing the Synergistic Research Active Ground Block SE @folkfreak if that was the case then why would grounding the stands after everything else had already been grounded to the SR box make an improvement? And why would changing the cables used for the grounds make an improvement? I use equipment ... | |
| A New Ground -- Benefits of introducing the Synergistic Research Active Ground Block SE I did a survey of a number of grounding systems by interviewing the owners and having them do a few tests (as best as I can make out, these were similar to the SR, but none of them were SR units). What I found was that in audio systems where a gro... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! If this "effect" has been remedied, or if I was just imagining it all, maybe a summer amp?Design plays a huge role! Some amps are not very involving and some are.Some class D amps employ Delta-Sigma processing, some are simple Delta, some are sel... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! But any speaker manufacturer worth his salt will tell you that doubling up on low order high power filters at or around the same area has it own set of problems with ringing ect.While this is true, this does not translate to the filters used in ... | |
| Balanced But Not Fully Balanced There is no good way to know without really understanding circuitry when you see it, so usually the best means is to ask pointed questions of the manufacturer. Quite often though the fact that the circuit is 'fully balanced' will be a selling poin... | |
| Can This Amp Power A 50 Foot Speaker Cable Run? @mitch4t you can still run balanced lines if you want. For something like this I’ve run the preamp into a set of line transformers at the preamp end, run the balanced cables can converted back to single ended using line transformers at the other e... | |
| Oh man, I broke my class D amp. Make fun of me. Then help. Glad to hear you got it sorted! | |
| Vinyl recordings - best methods I have an old Nakamichi cassette deck. It doesn’t come close to touching a DSD128 recording. Just curious- which deck and when was the last time it was serviced? I used to maintain a pair of Nak decks for making cassettes for my truck; haven't don... | |
| PranaFidelity speakers, what say you? Excellent speakers- we showed with them a few years ago at the last THE Show in Las Vegas. | |
| Can This Amp Power A 50 Foot Speaker Cable Run? Alternatively, if your inputs are truly balanced, run a balanced line instead, and put the amps near the speakers. +1@mitch4tThe amp won't have a problem driving the distance, but I think you will find that really long cables will rob the signal o... | |
| Oh man, I broke my class D amp. Make fun of me. Then help. @toddverrone, OK- the next thing is to swap the interconnects left for right at the input of the amps.You want to make sure that its not the source that got blown up, and FWIW its output got shorted to ground with that initial mis-wire.So if you d... | |
| Tube preamp with or without phono stage? What variables of interconnection are being referred to here?The issues are the sound of the interconnect that you have to use with an external phono section, how well its power supplies are built, how well its grounded and so on- just like what h... |
