| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere I would consider removing the tubes and reinstalling them. A greater concern would be: what is the condition of the tubes? You might want to get them tested. | |
| audiphile power cords Rleff, We have had good results with Synergistic Research, Purist Audio Design and Shunyata Research, for starters... | |
| Cartridge, Phono Preamp Hum Is the table made of metal? | |
| Any thoughts on removing a preamp from your system There is a good argument for passive when the control itself is built into the amplifier, as in an integrated amp.But when the control is in an external box, the problem is that you are totally subject to the whims of the interconnect cables.One v... | |
| audiphile power cords If a simple power cords can improve the quality of sound to the extent that it warrants its exorbitant price tag, why would you not (as a designer and seller of amplifiers) sell your amplifier straight out of the box with such a power cord.The pr... | |
| Tubes and vibration - Atma-sphere MA-1 The sockets on the MA-1 and all our amps are supposed to let the tubes wiggle a bit. Any good tube socket should do this to avoid shortening the life of the tube.The contacts are tin-plated. Tin, like gold, does not corrode easily or quickly, and ... | |
| Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall IME the mbls often sound harsh because of the electronics. I have had the opportunity to play the speakers with electronics I knew and they performed quite well- not harsh at all. But its been a different matter when I hear them at shows! | |
| audiphile power cords ^^ They are all important. I have to say I have not studied the matter enough to know how they all weigh out. I do know though that its harder to build the cable to have good HF response and also keep it flexible, which is required by law (you can... | |
| Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall I have a set of Classic Audio Loudspeakers. They are 6" from the rear wall and image fine. They are nearly 3 feet deep though. We also use a set of High Emotion Audio loudspeakers at the shop. They have a unique tweeter that can radiate in nearly ... | |
| Bypassing A Preamp With Volume Pot In Amp No. That is just how the gain structure worked out. Reducing the value of the control will make it harder for some sources to drive the amp. | |
| audiphile power cords Please do Ralph!Alright... With power cords its all about voltage drop across the cord. Some of that is at 60Hz, and some of that is much much higher- well above 30KHz-100KHz depending on the power supply in the unit with which it is being used.I'... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere The reason we created the MP-1 is that we needed a preamp that used the same direct-coupled technology at its output that our amplifiers use (and were looking for the same transparency thus granted by that approach). This makes it very different f... | |
| audiphile power cords If anyone would like to know why power cords make a difference, I would be happy to contribute. BTW I have some measurements to back my claims. | |
| Zyx Universe. O.24 mv vs .48 mv with low eff spkrs Lewm, the big problem on horns usually is not the noise of the amp but the noise of the preamp. If you knock the gain down in the power amp you thus make big strides in reducing the noise floor. | |
