| 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... | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... Unsound, I think he was talking about the input impedance, not the output impedance. I could be wrong, but that is the best I can make out of: you know how low ICE impedance runs. Solid state preamps have great trouble with this.But how could ther... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dgob, So how do you have things set up now? What is the arm tower sitting on? | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System viscoelastic doesn't sound like something you want to use as a plinth, although if you do have a rigid plinth already such a material might be good for damping. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System 'viscoelastic platform'?? What's *that*? |
