| Phono cables/philosphy ? The capacitance of a balanced connection is usually less than that of a single-ended connection of the same length. The advantage of going balanced is that the cable, if set up correctly, will have no audible artifact. This seems to work out quite... | |
| Another cheater plug thread Newbee, if you use your CDP normally, probably not much will come of it. But if it gets dropped or abused in such a way that the power switch or AC power is able to contact the chassis, then you may have a problem. If the chassis is ground, a fuse... | |
| Amp Shutting Down, need help Switch mode supply??! I figured this thing had a big toroid...Clearly the current limiting of the cord is having an effect.So what is the outlet voltage while the amp and the cord are doing their thing? Bet it does not drop as much.Based on that I... | |
| Best amplifier for klipsch heresy 3 speakers. If you want a transistor amp that sounds any good on that speaker, its going to make some heat too. If you don't mind compromising, then any amplifier will work.The 'tame on highs' thing is where you are most likely to get in trouble with most tra... | |
| Matching amp to modulus 3B and vanderstein 2ce Any good tube amp of over 35 watts per channel ought to do nicely. | |
| Screech when turning tube pre on If you can only hear the hissing with your ear to the driver of the speaker there are no worries.With almost any preamp its a good idea to turn the preamp on first and wait for it to settle out before turning the amp on. | |
| Best amplifier for klipsch heresy 3 speakers. Because of the high efficiency drivers used in this speaker, the back EMF is pretty high. This means it will exhibit some harsh behaviors if you use an amplifier that has lots of feedback. This rules out 99 44/100ths percent of all transistor amps... | |
| Amp Shutting Down, need help All the lengthy power cord is doing is dropping the AC voltage a little over its length. But I had understood that you had checked the AC voltage and it was OK. If the voltage was high then I could see the power cord helping out. That is why I sug... | |
| Best amplifier for klipsch heresy 3 speakers. The Heresy has always been very tube friendly and easy to drive. I used to use them with 60-watt amps as a PA for a band many years ago. So you don't need a lot of power to get satisfying volumes. | |
| Amp Shutting Down, need help No. I mean the signal input of the amp. | |
| The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig? Best complement I got was someone asking "Is that someone in the other room? You didn't tell us this would be a jam session!" | |
| Need at least 900wpc in 4ohm Ddd1, 500 watts is by no means the magical number. In fact the common 'wisdom' in this regard is 60 watts. That is to say, most amplifier topologies go downhill if the topology is built to be able to produce more than 60 watts or so. Now most of y... | |
| Preamps waste of money? I'm not sure one can ever determine if his preamp is "neutral" unless he was at the recording session and all his other components in the chain are neutral.Bingo! I made a recording in 1986 that went to LP. It has proven invaluable to me over the ... | |
| Amp Shutting Down, need help Sailcappy, what happens if you short the input of the amp? Does it still do it? | |
| Does OTL pre-amplifier exist? The Sonic Frontiers preamps have cap-coupled outputs to my knowledge.The only tube preamps with direct coupled outputs are the Atma-Sphere (line stage or with phono) and the Messenger, which is single-ended. |
