| Tube AMP or SS "Tubes are generally better at voltage drive while SS is better at current" and to finish this statement,voltage driven produces even harmonics as opposed to SS which produces uneven harmonics.Depending on who you talk to, this statement is likely... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Hmm. Something not mentioned so far with regards to speed stability is soundstage. Anyone who has heard a good tape machine knows what I mean. When the 'table speeds up and slows down the skating forces on any radial tracking arm will change. This... | |
| Conical horns whos using them and your opinion Thanks Duke, Macrojack and Johnk for the replies :) | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? Trelja, what would there be about a rear horn-loaded speaker that would make it unsuitable for an OTL??I can't think of anything... and they've worked fine every time I've tried them. I can think of plenty of things that can cause a particular amp... | |
| Slight Tube 'Whistle' - Help? If you have a whistle, that is a microphonic tube, and there is no operational parameter that can *cause* that, its just a bad tube. | |
| Tube pre-amp with parasound jc-1's Atma-SphereBATAesthetixARCall make balanced line tube preamps. | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Duomike, even with the best turntable, if there are problems in the design of the phono section, ticks and pops will be abundant! This can have nothing to do with the actual LP BTW.Mapman, the birdies I am referring to can be heard by anybody when... | |
| RFI from steel TV bracket? Halcro, it really sounds like you may have created a primitive power transformer with your wiring setup. If that is the case, the metal frame is acting as the core and the speaker leads draped over it are the secondary.Try re-routing the speaker l... | |
| Horning owners what amps have you used? I've not heard them together in some time, but our customer's comments regarding the M-60 and Horning fly right in the face of Trelja's comments. We've had customers run the combination for years. The speaker *does* like a bit of power. | |
| Conical horns whos using them and your opinion Johnk, how are they with respect to beaminess? | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Mapman, the in-harmonic issue is easily demonstrated. I have to admit I was shocked the first time it was demonstrated to me. You take a sine wave sweep tone and play it back- listen for the 'birdies'.If your not hearing the brightness of digital ... | |
| Pre-amp with balanced suggestions? BAT was one of our customers before they started out on their own... | |
| Chasing 60 hz hum Ralph, isn't that very commonly done intentionally, notwithstanding the fact that it creates the ground loop issue you are describing? And if so, wouldn't a fix (a)be likely to be hard to implement, and (b)be likely to degrade the integrity of the... | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? The how we actually hear stuff is fine but I don't see how what you say applies to analog only. Both analog and digital are shooting for similar results as best I can tell and I have heard both do quite well despite the inherent limitations of eac... | |
| Chasing 60 hz hum If you have to use cheaters to get rid of hum, then the problem is that the equipment itself is incorrectly wired.The problem is that the chassis ground and the circuit ground are the same thing, which means the equipment is wired with a ground lo... |
