| 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... | |
| Tube preamp with or without phono stage? There is only one advantage of having a built-in phono and that is, it saves space, one less box. However if you are looking for the ultimate sound you will find a quality external phono head amp is the only way to go if you're serious about go... | |
| Oh man, I broke my class D amp. Make fun of me. Then help. Are you sure your interconnect is OK? Have you swapped in a different interconnect to make sure you don't still have a problem? | |
| Readers Digest Classical Collections should be reissued Many of the Readers Digest sets were pressed by RCA in their Indianapolis plant, and recorded by Kenneth Wilkinson who was a Decca engineer that recorded many of RCA's projects in Europe.As a result the sound on many of them is superbe. | |
| Tube preamp with or without phono stage? I also feel cables and vibration control make a difference so take that into consideration. This is a pretty big argument for having the phono section built-in. | |
| Amplifier For Compression Drivers In A Tri-Amp Setup...? You hardly need any power to make this happen! 15 watts is **plenty** of power!! If the drivers really are 112db, you can likely make do with an amp that only makes about a watt.A type 45 triode power tube makes about 0.75 watts operated single-en... | |
| New Technics SL 1200 GAE Contact me via email.We've only done this with the Triplanar. Not sure how well it will work with other 12" arms! But IMO the Triplanar is one of the very best out there. | |
| New Technics SL 1200 GAE Atmasphere, how do you compare your own Empire based direct drive turntable offering against the Technics 1200 GAE ?While over the years the model 2098 we've built has acquitted itself very nicely over 'tables costing a lot more, overall I think t... |
