| How to go from RCA to XLR? Rwwear, if you have only a single-ended source, get a transformer from Jensen to convert from SE to balanced. That will assure that there will be no issues. | |
| Watt Puppy 7 needs new or used Amp and Pre-amp FWIW, the Watt/Puppy system is designed for tubes. They are easy to drive- our local dealer demoed them with our 60 watt for years. Wilson's national sales manager has used tubes for at least the last ten years... | |
| Smooth treble Opus88, its all about the rules of human hearing. Most people think about 20hz to 20KHz as the most important, but the most important is the ability to tell how loud a sound is. We use odd-ordered harmonic content to do that.When electronics do no... | |
| Smooth treble Dazzdax, to answer your question about the differences between the Sound Lab and the Apogee, IMO/IME the Sound Lab is likely the better performer of the two, given that you have the ideal amplifier to driver either one, which could be two very dif... | |
| Transfiguration Temper Supreme cartridge loading My guess is the right setting is between 10 and 30 ohms- Lewm is right about 10 ohms being overdamped. If the load reduces the output of the cartridge, then it is too low. | |
| choice for a 100 watt tube amp? AudioKinesis, Coincident, Wilson, ProAc, Quad, Classic Audio Loudspeakers, Audio Machina, Spendor to name a few... | |
| Anyone know anything about the MFA OTL monoblocks To the best of my knowledge MFA did not make such a thing. Its either not an OTL, or not an MFA. A photo would be helpful! | |
| How to go from RCA to XLR? Al, your descriptions and explanations are dead on. | |
| Smooth treble In my book 'smooth' is two things- a lack of high frequency emphasis (however we are not talking about anything being rolled off), and a lack of odd-ordered harmonics, which is the source of 'jagged' sound that others here have referred to.Odd-ord... | |
| Loading for Air Tight PC-1 Supreme If the preamp comes set up with a stepup transformer, about the only means available is to load the secondary of the SUT. If set up right, the load will load the cartridge and the transformer for optimal results. IME things are rarely 'set up righ... | |
| How to go from RCA to XLR? Noslop, the news you got is erroneous! If one of the phases is not present, the gain of the amp may be reduced by 6 db, but there will be no loss in power! Whoever told you that really has no idea how this stuff works. | |
| Ultimate test of your system image We use Amused to Death on LP to set up our speakers at shows. | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Hi Lew, yes, I was referring to the EPA-100. My friend has used one for a while, only because he's not had the funds to replace it. He has one of those 'Mod Squad' versions, which was considerably better than the original, which he also has. So I'... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Lew, I was talking about a Pioneer receiver, not the table. I remember some of the Pioneer tables were not too bad, but the arms left a lot to be desired, as did that heavy Technics arm that was often found on the SP10 and SL1100s.I always wanted ... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Downunder, that's one of the OEM plinths for the Technics, the same as my friend has. If you want my opinion, it sucks- the arm board is resonant and has a cavity to help the resonance. It is purely built for looks and would look good alongside a ... |
