| Any new turntable brands we should pay attention to ? And what cartridge do you use with it, Ralph?The new SL1200 arm will handle most of the Grados and likely a few others (Micro Benz, Lyra). If you're getting the SP-10 then whatever cartridge works with the arm you install. | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! The Bryston is equipped with DC Offset protection. If the preamp made DC, the speakers would not be damaged unless the Bryston's protection circuit failed. | |
| PREAMP technology shift? - Class A/ balanced/ dual-mono/ zero feedback vs. op-amp preamps Y'all know that a phono cartridge is a balanced source right?Why all this concern about balanced operation between the preamp and amp, when the more important place (if you plan to listen to phono) is the phono cable?The balanced line system was c... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? Didn't we find out a long time ago that some amplifiers with relatively high THD - I.e., more than an order of magnitude higher than those amps with vanishing low THD - actually sounded considerably better? Quite often, yes. The ear does not see... | |
| PREAMP technology shift? - Class A/ balanced/ dual-mono/ zero feedback vs. op-amp preamps Why? There are fully balanced/differential tube line sections available. | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! Well we have one part of the story, and my surmise was correct, it was an ESL. But I doubt the power supply was damaged. One other part of this missive is missing- the amplifier. What amplifier was used? | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? You were closer to understanding what I’m talking about when you refereed to propagation delay or group delay.I did ask you about that earlier but you seemed to not respond. So is propagation delay what you are talking about? IOW, if the amp has c... | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification Jack Elliano developed a technique to reduce distortion he called 'Class A3' (as opposed to class A or class A2). As a result, his SET amps were the exception to the 20-25% rule to which most SETs adhere. Jack had a patent filed on the concept.Reg... | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification I am sort of in agreement with clio09 about the possibility that someone may be satisfied with the result; it all depends on the specifics, such as how easy a load the speaker is, type of music, how loud one listens, how large is the room, and ... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! I don't think this event happened. If you look at the original post, you will see that the poster said that the power supply for the speaker failed- not the speaker itself.If we presume for a minute that the preamp was putting out DC, and that als... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? Hm. I don't suppose you see where the problems are in your response here?I'll point them out: First, apparently you don't have a measurement system as one of your recent posts seemed to suggest. You have a simulation method. Simulations are great ... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? I don't understand much, if any, of Mr. Paul's explanations for his discovery/invention I would not feel bad about that. I suspect that mach 1 has nothing to do with the inside of an amp. Given two explanations, its likely that the simpler one is ... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? OK- so despite my asking several times it appears you did have a measurement system after all! Why didn't you just come out and say so the first time I asked?Air is anything but a constant when dealing with the speed of sound. Humidity and air pre... | |
| New Technics SL 1200 GAE Secondly when you say that the tonearm is on the 1200 is superb, do you mean the one on the GAE or also the G (which has a inferior one) ?The arm is very good but I would not say excellent, although it easily takes on many high end arms. Just lik... | |
| Ugly vs Gogeous speakers My girlfriend does not mind the idea of my Classic Audio Loudspeakers in her living room. She's heard what they can do. Plus they are finished very nicely. |
