| The "charactor" of pure Class A? One of the primary things that all class A amps seem to have in common is a sense of authority. They just seem to carry more weight or body in the music. There are so many variables in amplifier design that going beyond that simple statement gets ... | |
| Best high end monitors? Phaelon, I've yet to hear them, and looking forward to it. From what I've heard, they are a good combination with our stuff. | |
| Watt Puppy 7 needs new or used Amp and Pre-amp Seriously? so- why do you ask? | |
| Synth/Electronic LP recommendations Single Cell Orchestra did some nice stuff back in the mid 90s.I agree, must of the complications suck, but back in the 90s there were some good ones: Free Zone 2, Chill out or Die 2, the Astralwerks samplers (I have one that has FSOL and Labradfor... | |
| Best high end monitors? Gawdbless, the best I can make out is that they are around $5,000/pair. | |
| What's the Best LP You Bought in 2008 So far this year the LP that I keep going back to more than any other is the new Porcupine Tree, Fear of a Blank Planet. Their best album in over a decade. | |
| Synth/Electronic LP recommendations Synthfreek, you and I have a lot of musical taste in common. Thanks for the trivia about GC. I do a one-man synth act called Salubrious Invertebrae (myspace.com/salubriousinvertebrae)An obvious band I forgot- the Orb. Another essential LP is Mysti... | |
| Synth/Electronic LP recommendations Right. Hard to find, but if you see **anything** by Global Communications, pick it up. The first album is the 'ear' album (reissued 3 times), 2nd is 'Remotion' (not reissued) and finally Pentamorous Metamorphosis. If you are into this stuff, these... | |
| 10 Levels of Turntable Mastery TML 10: master: built their own turntable and arm and it kicks ass on everything commercially available. This is not by the individual's claim; the knowledge of this is gained only by word of mouth. Anyone who says he is, isn't; turn around and ru... | |
| Best high end monitors? Pedrillo, we have had the S7 and the P7 in here. They are similar performance; the S7 is more of a box with a bass reflex port. The P7 is the same idea with a rear firing passive driver instead of the port and more of a pyramid form factor. It too... | |
| Best high end monitors? So far the best monitor we've heard is made by High Emotion Audio. It uses what is arguably one of the fastest and smoothest tweeters out there- one of their own design, for which they have two patents. The 120 degree off-axis response is nearly t... | |
| How to go from RCA to XLR? You wouldn't, but if you don't use one *and* you don't have a balanced source, then you'll need some sort of inverter circuit for the inverting channel. | |
| How to go from RCA to XLR? Rwwear, the traditional method of monostrapping a tube amplifier is to put the two channels in parallel, rather than in bridge mode. You put a 'Y' adapter into the inputs, and then parallel the outputs. The output impedance is cut in half, so if y... | |
| Which is the most tubelike solid state amp around Mrtennis, your timing of when you heard the BAT amps is off. Before BAT went into business, one of the founders was a customer of ours. They were seen for the first time at CES in 1995. Their SS amp followed some years later; its likely you heard ... | |
| Smooth treble Hi Chris, yes, that's right. FWIW tubes in general make less odd-ordered harmonics so its a lot easier to build a smooth sounding system by using them. Tubes are so linear that it is possible to build circuits that use zero amounts of loop negativ... |
