| Design a $60,000 Speaker - Start here ^^ other than this thread, there is no context and even then not much. I'm a pilot and I think about aerodynamic issues sometimes. Turbulence around the basket of a woofer seems like a thing that if solved, could reduce distortion. MISCO is a driv... | |
| Design a $60,000 Speaker - Start here @erik_squires I've had this idea that the struts that go from the front to the back of the woofer need to be machined aluminum, and formed in a sort of airfoil, so as to minimize turbulence. So far I've yet to see any woofer that uses anything lik... | |
| unity gain active tube preamp? @shredder Thanks. Btw, my setup is fully balanced.We've done buffer-style versions of our preamps on occasion per customer requests. Our preamps were the first balanced preamps made. | |
| Turntable and Rack vibration control There are several reasons why some or most of these vibration apps won’t work for seismic vibrations, including but not (rpt not) limited to the fact that speakers do not (rpt not) produce any mechanical feedback below say 25 or 30 Hz.This sta... | |

| A Copernican View of the Turntable System @halcro Hi Ralph,I've noticed that both you and J.Carr have recently 'transferred' over to 'The Dark Side' by adopting the new Technics SL1200 DD turntable over your previously loved belt-drives.The Empire in your case and the Final Labs and big... | |
| 2017 ‘Keeper’ speakers under - $25K Posting no model prices? Why not? One reason is that many manufacturers have an export market. The problem with that is many countries have import duty, some of which are excessive. Tack on top of that shipping cost, and in the days of the interne... | |
| Two preamps are available.... The "factory refurbished" really doesn't mean anything. They usually just do a full test and don't repair anything. You will have a limited warranty, however.This statement is often false. For example, if we have updated one of our preamps it ... | |
| PREAMP technology shift? - Class A/ balanced/ dual-mono/ zero feedback vs. op-amp preamps Actually that rule of thumb is 10:1. So if your output impedance is 500 ohms you should be able to drive 5000 ohms. There is a complication with many tube preamps, which is the size of the coupling capacitor at the output. The issue is that to dri... | |
| What to drive Soundlab Prima speakers with? Thanks! The first thing I would do is contact Sound Lab and see if there is an updated backplate for the speaker. If so its likely that the new backplate will make the speaker a lot easier to drive and will widen the available amplifier candidates... | |
| PREAMP technology shift? - Class A/ balanced/ dual-mono/ zero feedback vs. op-amp preamps ^^ Something else :) | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System The Herzan has been integrated in my system for 6 months now, and not only is it the final 'piece' of the jigsaw for the 'Copernican' puzzle.....but it singularly is the most significant contributor to the elimination of 'distortions' and the el... | |
| Atma Sphere S30 amp @glory it certainly seems worth a shot! Very interesting speaker BTW. | |
| What to drive Soundlab Prima speakers with? Sound Labs have often been the match made in heaven with OTLs. The Prima is a model I've not heard of- its not on their website. Can you tell me more about it? | |
| PREAMP technology shift? - Class A/ balanced/ dual-mono/ zero feedback vs. op-amp preamps @audioconnection anyone who is running a tube PRE amp into a low input impedance amp should be alert that they won’t achieve bliss.Just a FWIW, we make two balanced tube preamps and both can drive 10K no worries. They have a direct-coupled output ... |
