| Sonic atributes ultralinear vs tetrode vs pentode You won't hear so much difference between Tetrode and Pentode, but you will hear a difference between Ultralinear and the others. Ultralinear allows the tubes to approach triode linearity, while retaining most of the power that Tetrodes (or Pentod... | |
| Differential from source to pre but not amp? I should point out that to take advantage of the ability of balanced lines to be immune to the cost and length of the cable, the source driving the cable should conform to the balanced standard. If not, you may be able to run the balanced connecti... | |
| Differential from source to pre but not amp? Yes, there can be plenty of benefit! Differential circuits are not only lower noise, but lower distortion due to distortion cancellation at each stage of gain, compared to single-ended circuits of otherwise similar topology. When you reduce noise ... | |
| Good Tube Selection for Atma Sphere S30? Russian power tubes are fine! The only Russian 6SN7s worth looking into are vintage made in or before the 1960s. | |
| Why few discussion on Audio Machina CRM, CRG, CRS? One year at THE Show (CES) Karl showed next door to us. If I recall right, the manufacturer he was to show with was unable to make it at the last minute, but as luck would have it we had a spare set of M-60s on hand so we lent them to him.The spea... | |
| RFI - Turntable Rig Yes, try that. Lets see if the RF is coming in with the cable or not. | |
| RFI - Turntable Rig What happens when you have the Whest hooked up to the system, but nothing at its input? Do you still have the RF? | |
| Southwest Technical Products Universal Tiger If he does repairs, he should have no trouble with this one. The Tiger is a pretty straight-ahead circuit. | |
| Best Platter Material The best platter pad I have ever seen was made by Warren Gehl, who is currently working at Audio Research. His platter pads are now pushing 20 years old but are still getting good resale prices when they show up.The issue here is the durameter (ha... | |
| Bandwidth question? Marakanetz, as I mentioned earlier, it does not seem to matter that the speakers lack the bandwidth of the amps. The phase shift that will occur in the amplifier due to bandwidth limitations is something that you hear well within the range of huma... | |
| Bandwidth question? Glai, there you have it. Our ears are not so sensitive to phase shift at a single frequency, but when a band of frequencies is involved its another matter entirely! | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? I sincerely don't get you when you say..."My personal timbre (again, this is a separate thing from style) will come through, no matter which instrument I am playing on, despite the difference in the timbres of each individual horn. " ????I can ans... | |
| Why amps, pre-amps, integrated amps??? Johnnyb53 has got it right. The power supplies are the big issue- that and the way the grounds are set up. It is very easy to get crosstalk in integrated amps, in a way similar to to the way ground loops occur.It is possible to build an integrated... | |
| Southwest Technical Products Universal Tiger I'm sure we could handle it, but any technician that can repair a transistor amp can handle the Tiger as well.However, no sound might be something simple. Have you checked the fuses? | |
| Bandwidth question? So far I've not seen this mentioned yet, IMO this is one of the most important reasons to have some bandwidth:Phase shift accompanies bandwidth limitations. In general, you can expect phase shift components to manifest to 1/10th the upper cutoff f... |
