| Ground voltage!! @bushikai Current is in Amps, Voltage is in Volts. So what are you trying to say? | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live @lewm It takes a whole lot bigger can to get them all back inside! | |
| Small Footprint SS Power Amps reality is, with class d tech of various types, small footprint amps with substantial capability are plentiful these days Yes- ours is only 11" wide. We thought of making a version that hung off of the speaker terminals to create a 'powered' sp... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? Mijo, as I think you know, my amplifiers are essentially older MA2s with huge EI type power transformers that make them very heavy. I think you’ll be getting toroidal power transformers on your new MA2s. Much lighter. @lewm To be clear this is ... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? If you have a genius idea how the input stage CCS could affect bias on only one of 4 output tubes (7241s), I am all ears. @lewm It can't but I imagine you knew that. | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live When you say “improve on live sound”, what does that mean? I can't speak for anyone else, but IME if the stars align with the right recording and system setup, you're not dealing with a noisy audience! Plus the mics are placed optimally whereas... | |
| Large Advents (1974) woofer pops with deep bass. @vcheney The suspension of the woofer is probably done in. You can get it rebuilt at a speaker reconing service. I would google it to see if one is in your area. We have one here in Roseville Minnesota that is quite good and been around for over 6... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live Since I play the guitar, no nothing can capture the live perfromance3 of my Les Paul into Marshall amplifiers. @bigkidz The guitar player in my band plays a Les Paul hollow body into a Marshall Major(!) on a single Marshall stack (he used to us... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live Have you ever listened to a stereo system that produced a sound that would make you believe it was a real live music or live band performance at front of you? No. But I have experienced sounds coming from the stereo that had me thinking someone... | |
| What is the “World’s Best Cartridge”? @lewm I have to say I'm amazed that you have had the continuing patience to deal with the 7241 power tubes! We don't modify any of our amplifiers to use that tube since most people don't have the patience to deal with them. | |
| Sansui AU-717 @chocaholic Any technician competent enough to service a Japanese receiver can do the work just fine. Just have him put in Nichicon or similar quality capacitors and you'll be fine. Bonus tip: ask him to use SN63 solder if he does not already. SN... | |
| Sansui AU-717 I generally live by the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” philosophy but suspect that may not apply here. @perkri It may seem to work but I guarantee its suffering and not performing to spec. When the filter capacitors in the power supply fail... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? Yeah that probably relates to higher cost class D amps. But mostly d amps are bargain basement variety and sound pretty bad. @jumia That is true of some but not all. I have two customers that were quite surprised by the Nobsound class D amps w... | |
| What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers? We are all basing our opinions and experiences using " reproduced / recorded " music. As I have said many times, this alone, creates many challenges for us as listeners. It boils down to the specifics of what YOU want your favorite performers to ... | |
| At this level of high(er) end audio why not offer balanced connections? Because your assumption that balanced is better is not correct. If you’re saying, they should offer both, that is not without compromise. Simpler signal path is superior. If the balanced connection adheres to AES48 then it is better in every ... |
