| Balanced Tube Preamps for Nuforce Ref 9SE V3 Ck, the MP-1 can drive headphones directly as well. | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Darkmoebius, he's right. Tubes make lower-ordered distortions, much more preferable to the human ear than the higher, odd-ordered distortions of solid state.Tube distortions can be dramatically reduced by careful design. There's more about that ov... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states Orpheus10, the reason it seems subjective is only because the industry as a whole really does not want to talk about the science. For that I point you to the writings of Norman Crowhurst regarding feedback and its effects, also tohttp://www.atma-s... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? One thing about the tape experience is how locked-in the soundstage is, and the complete lack of strain experienced with the most complex musical passages. This is something I have only seen a few times with LP systems. If you have not experienced... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states Orpheus10 and Mapman, the reason tubes seem more powerful has to do with the way we perceive sound and the different ways that tubes and transistors make distortion. I would look at some of Arthur's comments above- they are right on the money.I th... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states Br3098, they can be excellent help if the load impedance is too low! | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Samujohn, in a word, no. Fred's point about using vacuum is well-taken; record warp will contribute to the issues of air-bearing linear trackers. This quoteThe problem is that most tangential arms have historically not been well designed or execut... | |
| New amp being touted as among the best ever...... Ben, no offense but its unlikely that your reviewer has heard all of what might be termed the very best. For example, I know he's not heard one of these:http://www.atma-sphere.com/products/ma3.html | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Agreed. | |
| What adhesive is used to re-tip a cartridge? Great work Steve! Thanks for posting that. | |
| Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest? I also would rate the Merlin highly but I don't see it as a monitor. If you want a monitor, the best I have seen so far is made by High Emotion Audio. http://www.highemotionaudio.comThe Pyra Bella 7. This speaker employs a unique tweeter that puts... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states Br3098, I appreciate the humor but seriously, the heat of our amps is quite manageable. Up here in Minnesota we see the highest dewpoints recorded anywhere worldwide and our amps are easy to live with even in the summer. However the heat comes fro... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states Br3098, try it, you never know- for sure it will work with a pair of ZEROs... | |
| Amps and the ESL 57 Hvowell, for your answer, seehttp://www.atma-sphere.com/papers/paradigm_paper2.htmlThe ESL57 is a Power Paradigm technology, so look for amps with higher output impedances to drive it. | |
| Designer Hall of Fame Prdprez, Victor's first prototype was essentially an OTL, using a set of our Z-Music autoformers as the output transformer. In production he used a toroidal device similar to the ZERO.Victor's partner, Steve Bednarski, was a customer of ours. His ... |
