| Non-feedback amplification topology and frequency Mapman, they do, but even in high end audio we have to deal with facts occasionally :)The reason I made that comment is that an amplifier that violates one of the most fundamental rules of human hearing will never sound like real music. Its not so... | |
| Does the volume control effect sound quality? Agreed! :) | |
| Non-feedback amplification topology and frequency Onhwy61, No. Its simply the way it is. One example (if you read the article) is using transistors on ESLs. Its difficult for them to play bass, and often too bright. Mapman, Correct- never is a long time. The problem is, we are not likely to chang... | |
| Triode mode vs pento mode Triodes are some of the most linear amplification known to man. Pentodes are not and generally need negative feedback correct to be useful for audio.Good bass has nothing to do with the amp being triode of pentode; good bass results from having th... | |
| Preamps with balanced ins/outs and remote In regard to the different sound of cables I think much of this has to do with their construction and material. With regard to balanced operation, the statement is mostly false. However it is widely believed by many in high end audio. "Mostly" as ... | |
| The Audio Research Reference 10 is here $30k Bifwynne, now that you mention it, that was a policy that has been there for years. But who knows, it could have changed but how I understand it is that the new owners have not messed with the company. | |
| Preamps with balanced ins/outs and remote One reason for going with balanced operation is the effect that this has on the interconnects used, rather than just the fact that the amp might have a balanced input.There is a standard for balanced operation that has been around for decades. It ... | |
| Does the volume control effect sound quality? Phd, you are correct. Start with the right value. Only then do you switch things up, if you will pardon the expression :), with better quality.Dracule1, both. First, the site commits a web 1.0 error, that of endless rant/scrolling. Second, many of... | |
| Non-feedback amplification topology and frequency More often than not, I've found tube amps that use feedback sound more realistic and are more compatible with wider range of speakers than amps that use no feedback. I've looked into why audiophiles think no feedback is sonically superior, but I c... | |
| Does the volume control effect sound quality? That website is terrible! | |
| Non-feedback amplification topology and frequency Jmacinnis, The issue here is how the amp will drive the speaker if it has no feedback. This article will explain what is going on:http://www.atma-sphere.com/Resources/Paradigms_in_Amplifier_Design.phpIMO/IME amplifiers that operate without feedbac... | |
| The Audio Research Reference 10 is here $30k How I understand it from several people who have worked there is that the ARC internal company policy is a 90-day product release schedule. IOW every 90 days there is supposed to be a new product replacing an existing product somewhere in the lineup. | |
| runaway fisher 6330 Turntable Check Ebay.But before you do that, clean the speed selector switch and speed controls with some Radio Shack contact cleaner and see if it comes around. | |
| 1/2 speed cutting not usually so good? Not all lathes can operate at 16rpm. Certainly speed stability is a much greater issue at the lower speed!I don't buy the 40Hz thing. Our cutter seems to go down much lower than just 20Hz, as do our electronics. Seems to me it was Decca in the UK ... | |
| From Pipedream to MBL 101e, any thought? Suchtan, I think you cam contact the Pipedream people about updates through http://www.highemotionaudio.com. |
