| 6sn7 to 6922 adapter: good idea or bad idea? Maybe they don't know... | |
| XLR recomendation I've been using Mogami Neglex for years. My setup uses 30' cables. But the equipment in my system supports AES48 so the sonic differences between cables disappear. Part of the reason to go balanced is to eliminate the differences between cables- a... | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? As to the future, is it just a matter of time until all module makers switch to using ganfet? I don't think so. In the decade since GaNFETs first showed up, MOSFET producers have improved their craft and are almost as fast- certainly so for any... | |
| Passive preamps - differences between technologies Maybe I didn't convey it correctly. I'm not saying a TVC adds warmth. A TVC certainly can add warmth, due to ringing caused by the transformer not being properly loaded. That loading changes with each tap but the designer can't predict the load... | |
| 6sn7 to 6922 adapter: good idea or bad idea? I wonder why they make such an adapter? Because someone will buy it not knowing that it really won't work. | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? IBM was also the source of the parity bit... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? all those by live measurements that at the end those bullet proof measurements explanation could be useless for the listener. 🤣 Funny how we still have talk like this when the technology to show what the 'mysterious' aspect is that causes the ... | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? So my thought is that calling them digital amps is a reasonable slang and everybody knows what it is referring to. The distinction here is that digital has specific on and off states that form words (which might be 16, 32 or 64 bits) that repre... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? @koh_i_noor We believe its the filter caps in the power supply forming up to their operating voltage. We thought that since our amp runs a lot of feedback and is thus able to reject a lot of power supply issues that break-in would not happen. But ... | |
| Amplifier Specification questions I wonder how bad it would effect my listening experience to have power meters and know when the transition happens @steve59 If the bias point is properly set the transition is completely inaudible. I wouldn't worry about it :) | |
| 300b lovers And then we get into the deeper waters of the sonics of the regulators themselves. Some are slow and noisy, and intermodulate with the music. Others are fast and silent. Regulators do not all sound the same, and passive CLC supplies can have a si... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? Till today does not exist a precise measurements that can tell us ( bullet proof. ) why we like what we like and audio item specs alone can’t tell us if that audio item will match our taste till we tasted. This statement was true in the 1960s a... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? but still have rising distortion vs frequency often starting around 2khz. Â Is it correct to speculate that these amps, whether GanF, Hypex, purifi, Â etc. would sound more musical if the distortion increase could be pushed beyond 10 khz rather tha... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? @mglik You are right but everyone uses the same hearing perceptual rules. Its a sort of common denominator. Over time, as a designer you gain experience knowing how the distortion profile looks as compared to how it sounds. It gets to the point t... | |
| Phono cable (RCA-RCA) from TT to Phono Pre Question @mmcgill829 As far as sound quality goes, I'm sure that cable is just fine. But you might want to look into the loading issue. It can make a difference with a lot of preamps that don't like the RFI I mentioned! Take a look at this link on cartrid... |
