| Strain Gauge Preamp/ Phono. A new standard? All the Strain-gauge cartridges from the old days had the RIAA EQ built-in too. | |
| Aesthetix Callisto and Io Eclipse Hi Albert, did you buy that preamp then? Sounds like you just got it. | |
| For people with experience with Class-A amps Elevick and John, many Krell amplifiers have a patented (although not patented by them) sliding class A system that cuts back on the idle current at low volume levels. As the signal increases, the bias current is increased with it. | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Downunder, We were back to the aluminum-dome compression drivers in the midrange on the last day- we were only able to use the beryllium-dome drivers for the 2nd and 3rd day. The aluminum-dome has audible breakups (making the sound a little 'peaki... | |
| For people with experience with Class-A amps In class A amplifier there is no AB operation at full power. If so it would be a class AB amplifier.A 1 or 2 degree C temperature difference on the heatsink is negligible. The bias is likely set with a control in the unit , to get a certain amount... | |
| Guitar Hero or Rock Band: Admit You Play? does playing in an actual band count?http://www.myspace.com/thunderboltpagodaLP should be out around March 1st... | |
| tube preamp w/ solid state amp Tube preamps can play more detail in a relaxed manner than their transistor counterparts. Once lost, you can't make up for it downstream so yes, a tube preamp is a good idea with a transistor amp. Of course, I think a tube amplifier is a nice move... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Downunder, did you come into our room at T.H.E. Show? If so, what day (one day 2 and 3 we had the beryllium-dome field-coil drivers running)?The turntable was an RPM 2. | |
| The Anatomy of the Acapella Violon - shocking find Amfibius, Duke's comment sounds like one to be paid attention to. So if you proceed, keep his comments in mind! The crossover parts would change as the impedance would be different and you would have to set up for the same notch frequencies, and i... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Hi Sirspeedy, I certainly don't regard anything about the Phantom/Tri-planar question provacative- really, you can't go wrong either way. As far as I'm concerned, the more vinyl the better :)I'm not certain that the 'one bearing'vs'four bearing' i... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Sirspeedy, I don't think its been mentioned before, but the bearings in the Tri-Planar are a special super-polished super-hardened variety that have to be special ordered. Here in the US Tri tells me that there is only one manufacturer left who ca... | |
| The Anatomy of the Acapella Violon - shocking find Amfibius, I have a simple idea that you might try, since it appears that you have access to people that are speaker savvy. See if you can arrange to put the woofers in series and readjust the crossover to support the same notch frequencies.Tube am... | |
| Graham Phantom vs Triplaner Sirspeedy, having heard a variety of linear tracking arms including the Air Tangent, and also as a fan of the idea, nevertheless its been my experience that they don't get the bass right- something that both the Graham and the Triplanar have no pr... | |
| Coincident Triumph vs. Zu Druid We've had the ZU Druids for about 3 years. They handle anything we throw at them (and that is quite a wide range of music). With our smallest amplifier we can play the Druid to any level we want.Our amps also work well with the Coincidents, but ou... | |
| Amp for Quad ESL 57 Roberts4152, FWIW most of our customers who run the 57s seem to prefer the M-60s. I think there are a variety of reasons for this, not the least of which the M-60 is a monoblock, allowing for shorter speaker cables. Usually people operate them wit... |
