| Amp Designs That Are Able To Drive 4/2 Ohms Load Ryder, take a look athttp://www.atma-sphere.com/papers/paradigm_paper2.htmlIn a nutshell, 'Doubling power' as the impedance is cut in half says nothing about how the amp sounds, in fact there is nothing in the rules of human hearing to suggest tha... | |
| Guitar Hero or Rock Band: Admit You Play? Shadorne, the other guys in the band have played on a lot of LPs and done lots of tours- enough where they won't be tempted out unless they get some good paying gigs. So no- not yet, but it could happen. Touring with a Mellotron... I could be aski... | |
| The Anatomy of the Acapella Violon - shocking find Rlawry, The speaker you have has only a single woofer and is an 8 ohm load. The way an amplifier handles that is quite different from how it reacts when the woofer load is 4 and the rest of the speaker is 8, especially if the amp is question is a ... | |
| Strain Gauge Preamp/ Phono. A new standard? Hi Peter, the RIAA curve is flat from 318 uS to 3180uS. So there are about 4 octaves that will be spectrally incorrect. That is a lot bigger error than any room I've tested. BTW I've run plenty of room curves over the years- especially at shows. I... | |
| Amp Designs That Are Able To Drive 4/2 Ohms Load One thing that came out at the recent CES is that there really is no longer any argument for low impedance speakers anyway. It turns out that transistor amplifiers, while easily able to *drive* a low impedance speaker like 4 or 2 ohms, actually so... | |
| 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... | |

| 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... |
