| Ported speakers and class D amps When notes drops below the tuning frequency the port can't control the woofer. Does the class D, super high damping factor, mean this isn't as big a problem? I'm hearing bass extension and control that I'd never though possible. If there is any... | |
| POP sound when turning off TT are you insinuating that something internally has failed, or that the failure is inherent to the design and I will need to solve for it with other methods (aftermarket addon, like conditioner, shut down sequence, etc). Just want to be sure I don... | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience In any case what's false is what you posted because I gave several evidences/facts/measures and in the 99% of those threads you was there and you never never proved with measurements that I was wrong, never ever. bla bla bla... I see now that ... | |
| POP sound when turning off TT Sound like the snubber capacitor across the table’s motor power switch has either failed or is undersized. @bound4h, @testpilot called it on this one. There is supposed to be a bypass capacitor across the power switch contacts. It is there to p... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Is this what you are talking about? An 16 bit word length doesn't work as well as 24 bits, 32 or 64. | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience @rauliruegas I attacked your post and not you. There is a difference. Your post contains false information. For example you claim to have presented ’proof’ on multiple occasions. At best you presented ’evidence’ which can be used to point at a pr... | |
| Do Amps matter.. in an Amp? sure, as you said, it's a weird measurement since it doesn't reflect any real useful scenario of use. @dain Exactly. Class D amps most definitely have power supplies!! It can have an enormous effect on how they perform. I'm not saying this '... | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience It’s not that " do not align with your measurements " because the issue is not about just measurements. All tube phono stages needs/necessary a SUT for LOMC cartridges and the ones active high gain tube ones are around mediocrity even the effort... | |
| Hum on Tube Amp - Can't find source being a guy in the land of 10k lakes, motor boating should be natural. 😎 (but it’s probably ice fishing season now,) @holmz My understanding is the two happiest days in the life of a boat owner is the day he buys it and the day he actually is... | |
| Do Amps matter.. in an Amp? Or to say in another way, this measurement was into a shorted load @dain I think you misunderstand- that current is not when the amp is driving a short, its when a short is placed across the power supply of the amp. The output section of a 1000... | |
| Do Amps matter.. in an Amp? I’m stuck on amperage. Most product tout wattage, which I find misleading since the highest wattage amp I own has the least satisfying sound. My favorite amplifier claims >60 amps of current, and a few manufacturers state this measurement. But... | |
| Hum on Tube Amp - Can't find source With the motorboating clue, it would not be unthinkable that those small tubes are involved. @holmz The 12AX7 has more gain than a 12AT7. This can affect the amount of feedback that exists in the amplifier and can also affect something called '... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta So Ralph, are you saying that the data output (to be sent the the input of the Gan 1) sampled at 96kHz would not necessarily be a restrictive limiting factor to the ultimate performance of the Gan -1? I am. The limitation is in the word length,... | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll If they are so worried about climate change why were we forced to use old technology like the combustion engine for over a 100 years. @phd For the answer to that, read Internal Combustion, by Edwin Black. Its fascinating reading! | |
| DC entering my amp? @itball Pay attention to what @gs5556 says- he is giving you really good advice for getting to the bottom of this. I would add that if the preamp isn't connected and the DC Offset at the speaker terminals goes up, then the amp is at fault. |
