| humming noise I hope you loosened the mounting screws when you moved the cartridge! Some cartridges will fail if the body of the cartridge is tweaked too much. Otherwise you have good advice here. | |
| Which preamp? Opinions? Suggestions? I don't think the Infinity system allows a single amp to run full range. Isn't there a servo feedback system between the woofer cabinet and the amp driving it through the crossover?That system may have been eliminated by that time, but at any rate... | |
| Amplifier specs, does they matter? Nelson Pass published an excellent article on distortion and feedback:http://firstwatt.com/pdf/art_dist_fdbk.pdfThe bottom line is it does not seem to be implementation specific. About 50 years earlier, Norman Crowhurst had some similar comments o... | |
| Amplifier specs, does they matter? ^^That. | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Tubes108 is fabricating this whole thing. No product can work with diodes reversed and would never had made it out of the shop as it would not have even powered up properly! Anyone who knows electronics knows that. What he is suggesting is that we... | |
| Amplifier specs, does they matter? Some specs matter and some don't.An example of a spec that matters is noise. Another is bandwidth (which ideally is 2Hz to 200KHz to reproduce 20Hz to 20KHz properly...)An example of a spec that hardly matters is THD. The reason this spec has smal... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? And yeah, I think tubes108 is unfairly being held to a different standard than the other posters here.If the standard is that people are talking about stuff that actually happened then its perfectly fair. | |
| How loud is loud? Hello Audiolabyrinth, yes, 4 ohms. | |
| How loud is loud? **The cleaner your system is, the less loud it will seem.**This is because the human ear/brain system uses higher ordered harmonics as cues to determine sound pressure. In this regard the human ear is actually more sensitive to such harmonics than... | |
| BURN IN A REBUILD AMPLIFIER We have a warranty reactivation policy associated with updates (rebuilds) to our older products. Quite often our customers experience a break-in aspect not unlike buying a new unit. It does also seem to take some time- 300 hours or more sounds abo... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? Kiddman, Tubes108 was referring to a set of MA-1s. I have made plenty of mistakes in my career and I try to be the first to admit that. However I still have troubles with Tubes108's testimony. Again, we would not have built a pair of amps wherein ... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? As far as I can figure, he's making it up, its certainly not anything in warranty. Per my Atmasphere equipment. I was young and naive, assumed there was a common goal to make those purchased-new products work properly. After more than a yr of eff... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? I think I am sticking with my original assessment on this one. | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? It seems that the issues that Tubes108 is talking about did not occur. I say that because I've not heard of this event and this company is too small for something like this to slip by me. I take issues with a number of comments in the post- for ex... | |
| Is it worth refurbishing my tube Marantz? Its also nice sounding equipment and if properly refurbished does as good as many new pieces. Unless you really don't want the equipment its definitely worth fixing. Just make sure you have it done by someone that does good work otherwise the valu... |
