| Fuse and Power Cable improvements 'how'? - Nuprime ID-8 Coming previously from a B&W 805N paired with Yamaha amp, so far my listening with my Kudos C2 with Nuprime is that while female vocals play loud volume wise, singers like Adele and Whitney Houston sound like they ran out of lungs (lack big... | |
| Why Single-Ended? How much potential sonic performance would I lose by using my SE preamp into the unbalanced inputs of a fully differential amp? e.g., my UV-1 preamp into the SE input of an Atma-sphere amp, or using this preamp with a Pass Labs amp.If using our... | |
| Why Single-Ended? I'm not knowledgable about how you configure your circuits but I'm thinking you do not float the signal from input to output so eventually the signals do get referenced to pin one.We try to avoid referencing signal to ground as much as possible... | |
| Watch out boys,there's a new game in town! I can think of a few engineering bugs built into that but that does not change it being kinda cool. One bug is no platter pad so no vinyl resonance control as the needle tracks the grooves. Another is the short arm length which is problematic for ... | |
| What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock? In my example contrasting MBL vs Soundlab, it was not my intention to suggest that Soundlab would fo a poor job with Van Halen. It WAS my intention to suggest that the big MBLs would do a better job (at least to my taste). The delta is proba... | |
| Speakers for electronic/hiphop/rnb [$4000 range]? Speakers don't care what you put through them. Classical music is pretty demanding- what works well for that works well for hip-hop and house as well. That a speaker is good for a particular genre of music is one of the longest-running myths about... | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers I thought 45s made 2W and one should run them at under 1W draw to keep distortion from growing much.Is this what you mean by 0.75W?You can get 2 watts out of them but if you really want to hear what they do its a good idea to run them at a lower v... | |
| Why Single-Ended? Home audio, especially 2 channel systems with analog being the primary source will rarely benefit from balanced connections. Adding balanced operation in this scenario will only add more circuitry with no real benefit and likely have deleteriou... | |
| Why Single-Ended? It would seem so. In order to support the balanced line standard:1) pin 1 is ground, pins 2 and 3 carry the signal2) the signal occurs between pins 2 and 3. 3) Ground (shield) is ignored4) the system is low impedance.Again as I pointed out earlier... | |
| What are the best speakers for 80's hard rock? I have found, listeners who primarily listen to rock, tend to " turn it up ", more so than other listeners.When I play classical I like to crank it so you really get those bass drum wallops.Verdi's Requiem (Fritz Renier conduction) on the RCA Sor... | |
| Why Single-Ended? You forgot that we are discussing Fully balanced topology and not design of particular amp in general. Setting bias point, as you described, can be done to single ended amp and has nothing to do with issue that we're discussing. Please tell m... | |
| Is it too bright or is it high resolution? Damaged driversbad connectionselectronics...I think the question might be a bit too broad. | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers If they really were type 45s, your output power is likely tripled. 45s only make about 0.75 watts or so single-ended. A 2A3 can do 3-5 watts. | |
| Why Single-Ended? So Ralph, you have come over to the dark side with an SE preamp. There is some hope :>)Ha! We've been making some variant of that since the company was founded. Not sure that 'come over' is the right phrase... if you transformer couple it with ... |
