| Zu Soul Superfly The loading on the bottom of the speaker is critical IME. If incorrect, you simply are not getting all the bass the speaker has. | |
| open baffle speaker question 'Open baffle' usually refers to a cone speaker mounted on a baffle with an open back. Quite often this means there are no sides to be baffle either but that sort of depends on who you talk to.Technically speaking all planar speakers are open baffl... | |
| Who Has A Musical Concepts Dynaco PAS 3x Tricked We first started updating and upgrading the PAS-3 about 25 years ago. One thing is for sure, if done properly the preamp can be a giant-killer. However there a lot of people doing mods on the preamp, so YMMV as how successful the mods will be.If I... | |
| How many tube watts for Vandersteen 2's? If you use the 4 ohm tap on an amplifier with a speaker of higher impedance, the output transformer will be inadequately loaded, and so it will express less of its winding ratio and more of its inter-winding capacitance. This can result in the amp... | |
| High-end amplifier clarification? Weseixas, so if an amplifier that can't drive 2 ohms but otherwise sounds better than one that can, its still mid-fi? So sound has nothing to do with high end or mid fi? | |
| where do I connect the earth in my pre to? A further note FWIW: unless your home's electrical system is sorely in need of update, there is no need to pound a stake in the yard for an electrical ground. The ground prong of the AC cord should go to the house's central AC ground, which in tur... | |
| High-end amplifier clarification? Figuring out what makes any product a 'high end audio' product has long been a vexxing subject. In thinking about this over the last 20 years, the best answer I have ever been able to come up with is 'intention'. So in this regard I think I agree ... | |
| what speakers demand high end electronics Onhwy61, there is more to it than that- due to the fact that vacuum tubes failed to go away when transistors came in decades ago, two different methods of amplifier and speaker design, test and measurement exist to accommodate either technology.On... | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... Atmasphere:It was not directed at you and i do not have an axe to grind, just calling it as i see it, but I'm sure there are others who recognize the tone..Regardless of the discussion, Tube amps,Soundlab speakers or special gravity defying horns,... | |
| Cartridge Impedence The impedance of the cartridge has nothing to do with its sound. The information is supplied to assist in setting the cartridge up properly, specifically this has to do with loading. The loading at the input of the phono section is sometimes about... | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... OK. But FWIW, there should be no problem with almost any preamp, tube or transistor, driving a class D amp. | |
| What tube amps for the Quad ELS 63 The speaker needs an amplifier that can do a good job of making constant power with respect to its impedance. The reason for this is that the impedance curve is based on a capacitance, and so is decreasing as frequency increases. At the same time ... | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... What is very apparent and holds true to any and every concern here on AG is that someone selling Atmasphere amplifiers will attack, like wolves in a pack and with some of the most made up science heevar.Uh Weseixas, do you have an ax to grind? Is ... | |
| Nearfield Upgrade? You might also look into the High Emotion Audio loudspeakers. We have been using their S-7 monitor for quite a while in the studio. High Emotion Audio patented a new kind of tweeter that is sort of a cross between a ribbon and a horn, but really i... | |
| Best undiscovered speakers on the market today ? Two speakers that deserve merit are Audiokinesis and High Emotion Audio.The Audiokinesis perform well above their price points, are easy to drive, wide bandwidth and plainly outright musical.Another is the High Emotion Audio line. They have patent... |
