| What do you think of this preamp design? Dracule1, you don't need RCA outputs on a preamp. What you need is XLR inputs on an amp. There is a way to do that such that both phases of the signal can be processed by the amp, without using a transformer and without changing the character of t... | |
| Is phase control switch a deal breaker for you? Viridian, I can't speak for all preamps but on our preamps the phase switch is very simple, as our preamps are internally balanced. So to do the phase reversal requires no circuitry other than the switch itself.I have found that the switch does no... | |
| What do you think of this preamp design? We are trying to have it ready for RMAF... at any rate, like the MP-1, the remote for the MP-3 will be retrofit to any earlier MP-3. | |
| Is preamp remote volume a deal breaker for you? The standard for balanced line is the output of the device driving the cable should be able to drive 600 ohms or less (in the case of microphones) without degradation (this calls for a fairly low output impedance BTW). If the cable is terminated a... | |
| Is preamp remote volume a deal breaker for you? My preamp is 3 feet from my listening chair. It can run really long cables (I have 30 feet) without any problem so even though I have a remote in the preamp (it uses a custom built switch for the volume control, which is driven by a motor) I never... | |
| SS amps with little or NO feedback Kijanki, if it is a true balanced differential design the main harmonic created will the the 3rd, not the 2nd. All the even orders should cancel. This is true of tube or transistor designs. | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... Michael_moskowich, Tim Aucremann of The Audio Beat http://www.theaudiobeat.com uses a set of MA-1s (with a set of ZEROs) with Sashas. I myself heard the Sashas on MA-1s at Paul Bolin's home. It didn't seem like the speaker was hard to drive at all... | |
| What do you think of this preamp design? It looks overly complex... A very competent solid state line stage could easily be built with about 1/3 the components. The op-amp in the feedback loop looks to me like an outright design problem...The ability to take a balanced or single-ended so... | |
| What defines a good tonearm Dan_ed and Mike, are you attaching meaning where none existed? I really did assume that you and Mike did have such an LP, as I know others in this community for which that is true. I just wanted to get a copy.As for the Talea, I refer you to my pr... | |
| What defines a good tonearm Mike and Dan, I assume that both of you have LPs that you recorded yourself and released commercially. What is the title of the LP? I'd like to get a copy. | |
| What defines a good tonearm Hiho, you can look here: http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/red-herring.htmlI've pointed the link to Red Herring but a number of other fallacies are described. I've found the site really helpful over the years as I found myself guilty of som... | |
| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? Hi Unsound, thanks for the greater specificity.You have not offered any proof that: "Now the Power Paradigm offers the possibility of being that much closer to the music."Here's how that one works: The Voltage Paradigm places its highest regard on... | |
| Ocellia speakers and power Johnk, how come you never see speakers that do that at shows? | |
| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? Unsound, is this the comment you want me to prove?:Now the Power Paradigm offers that possibility of being that much closer to the music. The idea is that the technology is totally committed to the rules of human hearing, which I think all of us c... | |
| Is the most efficient speaker the best speaker? Unsound, Sorry, I don't see that post. Perhaps you could quote it? |
