| Aesthetix Calypso vs. ? Finding a balanced tube preamp is not all that hard. ARC has been making them since the mid-90s, and we have been making them since the late 1980s. | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea Just from reading this description I can see that this book is a product of modern philosophy - it commits all the same errors. For one, the notion of something beyond reality (as perceived and understood by man's consciousness) with no evidence o... | |
| Large brass devices on top of power amps ? Krooney, since electronics cannot be overdamped, often designers leave the little tweaks like that to the end user, IOW, for the most part, they have no opinion about it, other than 'have fun and don't zap yourself' :) | |
| Best Balanced Tube Amp To Pair With Meridian G02? Ckoffend, you can usually run the amp with half the power tubes. Its a good idea to derate one of the power fuses but that is easy- just change the fuse. This is not something you can do with any tube amp BTW.The tubes are inexpensive since they d... | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea Dgarretson, it might be helpful to look at how a record is cut. A worm drive advances the cutter across the record- so to play back, it seems as if a linear tracking device will be needed, although there are some interesting approaches that use ra... | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea I think ( a risky word in this context...;-) ...) that Descartes phenomenal statement - which marked the awakening of the spirit of humanism - is not philosophy. It is much more. It is the self-recognition of the human spirit. Beyond knowledge. Be... | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea Now your questin:'what are you when you are not thinking?'You deed not stated as your premisse: Cogito ergo sum.To make you question managable for my way of,uh, seeingI must rephrase your question. Say: in what state is yourbrain when you are not ... | |
| Tube amp for double stacked Large Advents In the old days (college) I used to run stacked Advents with a pair of monostrapped Dynaco Stereo 70s. If you do that, the 8 ohm taps are where you put the 4 ohm load. | |
| Large brass devices on top of power amps ? It is not possible to overdamp electronics. Its that simple.However, it **is** possible to build a system around a certain synergy, and then when the electronics are mechanically damped (which reduces a phenomena known as microphonics, known to bo... | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea Nandric, I hope one would not attempt to refute a literary work but simply enjoy it for what it is. We certainly do that with a fine wine :)Philosophy is much the same idea- it is not knowledge (although it can and does get applied to knowledge- f... | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea Nandric, I too have difficulties with Heidegger's philosophy, but mostly on the grounds that philosophy itself is never knowledge. Philosophy is/are merely reasons, and as such, entirely made up to justify a behavior.IMO vision is what makes a thi... | |
| Amp Specs esp. DampFactor : Citation, Adcom, etc. Aewhistory, for the most part I think you will find that a low THD indicates a greater amount of feedback (with it accompanying distortion of the 5th, 7th and 9th harmonics) rather than a 'cleaner' signal path.IOW, if anything it appears that ther... | |
| Amp Specs esp. DampFactor : Citation, Adcom, etc. Seriously, I doubt that anyone could make serious progress in an audio design without understanding how the human ear/brain system works.Some of this research is very new. The bit that I mentioned about how the processing moves from one part of th... | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea Good Luck.If you are not thinking, then you are present. This is not possible with thought; your thoughts are trying to convince you that they *are* you, and seek to place you in the past or the future; neither is a place where anything happened o... | |
| E V Patricians-- JBL Hartsfields- Your choice Weseixas, I did hear those speakers too, but I thought they were TADs when I saw the side by side woofers. I really couldn't tell you anything about that system, though I can say that the speakers did not seem to attract attention to themselves (a... |
