| RCA to XLR adapters? That's probably true- unless maybe you have the manufacturer do it. FWIW though if you set up the system entirely around the idea that everything has to be sold, that *can* limit the performance you can get. Now if the amplifier has a single-ended... | |
| How close to the real thing? The problem here is there is little that is convenient that will quantify the subjective experience. However, that is not to say that the subjective experience *cannot* be quantified, it can and has by Dr. Herbert Melcher.In his recent work (unpub... | |
| Slam possible with Tubes instead of SS ?? This is a good example of what I was talking about with regards to Sound Lab- if you are going to use transistors you need something that has a lot of power. 600 watts is about the minimum.Now if you do your math, one thing that becomes apparent r... | |
| Amplifier for Magnepan 20.1s The 20.1 is fairly easy to drive. The main thing is you will need power, but phase angles are well-controlled. Wendell Diller has made a point of expressing to me on several occasions that the best he has ever heard the 20.1 has been with tube amps. | |
| RCA to XLR adapters? Just a FWIW: using adapters is always tricky and should be regarded as temporary. If you are interested in getting the most out of your gear, take your cables to a tech and have him install the connector on the end of the cable such that it satisf... | |
| Silent Running Audio vs Minus-K under tube amps It is impossible to mechanically over-damp audio equipment (I am not talking about electrical damping). If you are of the opinion that this is not the case, then its likely that you are used to dealing with synergistic effects which is usually not... | |
| Best speaker in the US $ 30-45.000,00 range All these responses and no mention of the type of amplifier used, which is something that should be considered carefully with any speaker in this category.My vote would be for the Classic Audio Loudspeaker model T-1.3. I would get it equipped with... | |
| Silent Running Audio vs Minus-K under tube amps Sweet. | |
| Slam possible with Tubes instead of SS ?? FWIW Sound Labs have a high impedance at low frequencies which is why tube amps are preferred if you want them to play bass right. You can get them to play bass with transistors, but I think you will find that the way to do that involves having th... | |
| Tubes to Watts Ratio There are a variety of factors that govern the size of transformers. In power transformers, temperature rise can be a big factor- transformers that don't get as hot tend to be larger.In output transformers, the amount of bandwidth that the transfo... | |

| How close to the real thing? Kirkus, I think you missed my point! The quote you put up is edited and not what I said. Try re-reading my post, without the idea that I am trying to make you wrong- that was not my intent at all.Irv, maybe you were joking but Sound Labs have anyt... | |

| How close to the real thing? Hi Frank, opamps usually have much lower propagation delays than power amps do! So feedback is more effective with them. To improve the effect of feedback and decrease the resulting odd ordered harmonic generation, decrease the propagation delay o... | |
