| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? Atmasphere, please correct me if I am wrong. There is a couch in between the speakers. If he pushes the speakers closer to the wall, that means more of the couch is in front of the speaker. Will that not mess with the imaging? You'd have to try... | |
| Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening If you plan to be playing vinyl, here's a tip:A lot of ticks and pops that are often associated with LP reproduction are actually artifacts of the phono preamp. This is because if the phono circuit is unstable, it can exacerbate a tick or pop even... | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification Most SETs employ DHT (Directly Heated Triodes) like the 300b, 845 and 2A3.DHTs can be used in push-pull as well. If you want more than about 10 watts, IMO/IME you are far better off with a push-pull amplifier, and in your case with your speakers y... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? So Roger, have you quantified this axis then?That is the question I asked before and got a long answer that seemed to contain neither yes or no. Have you quantified, do you have a spec for this circuit? | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? the reason is because you need a method of detecting velocity first before you can correct it - and then you have to do it in real time (without any delay). Although I find much of this amusing, I do agree that speed is important. Our amps don't... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? ^^The premise of the post above is false.Try running an analog source through that output stage and you will see why.As a bit of a tip: its probably not a good idea to talk about 'distortion-less' in the way that you do, it strains credulity. | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Sorry its been a while since my first post here; I was in an accident and only now have had time to respond.The problem with the machine is that the plinth is so tiny that an arm cannot be mounted without some sort of external device. The photo th... | |
| Any new turntable brands we should pay attention to ? Technics was out of the game for a while. So they are now a new contender, with two new designs, the SL-1200G and the new SP-10. They are the most speed stable designs available.I've yet to see the new SP-10, but the SL1200 employed 5 different me... | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? Traditionally, speakers like the Heresy did best with tubes. Its easy to imagine it being a bit harsh with a transistor amplifier. You don't need a powerful amplifier so you have lots of options. I would recommend something with at least 15 watts ... | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? The digital data to be converted to analog far out strips the ability of the analog section to pass along the stored image.This statement is false. | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) My hat is off to Technics for this! My only beef is that the new SP-10 has the same failings as all the earlier ones: the plinth is not set up right to accommodate a tone arm! So we're back to the same issue of having to build up an aftermarket pr... | |
| Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL? The MBL preamp was used every time I heard them.. All cables are Wireworld Platinum Series 7. The 101E’s are very detailed, open, great imaging and tonality. They can sound too detailed, almost bright at times.I would not blame the speakers for... | |
| Need a new amplifier. Need a good match for my Audio Research LS7 preamp A lively room is definitely something to be considered! The room is at least half the sound of any stereo so proper room treatment is important. | |
| DC leakage from power amps Always happy to help! | |
| EI Vs Toroidal The toroidal in my F5 clone hums surprisingly loudly. Virtually no noise at all through the speakers, but you can hear that toroidal humming away from 2 or 3 feet away. It almost makes a grunting sound when I power it up. Toroids saturate easil... |
