| Phono Preamp w/ Rumble Filter Current TT is a Denon 100th Anniversary with a 110 Anniversary MC cart, but may eventually upgrade them as well. If your phono is set up correctly you should not have problems with rumble. My speakers are flat to 20Hz and my preamp (including ... | |
| Input, please The silver dress panel isn't bolted in place?? | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions One thing I’m still not clear about is why people describe class a and high bias a/b as being warm sounding especially if their overall distortion is on the higher side? The distortion can be quite low! The tricky bit is knowing what is meant b... | |
| Congratulations Atmasphere! Just reading this revived thread. Makes me miss AL.... @atmasphere Ralph, you guys were a good team of sorts. Al always had your back and really had my back too. Miss my friend. Al was both a gentleman and a scholar. Also a good engin... | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions I still am not sure about some basic things. Now i suspect that the "higher order harmonics" are not second and third order harmonics but 4th, 5th etc order harmonics (just to clarify, in my earlier posts i referred to "higher order harmonics" a... | |
| What are we objectivists missing? Well, this did not go in the direction I had intended, but I suppose I should not be surprised. I guess the take away for me is "We don’t know what we don’t know". @jtucker There is a simple way out of this. Usually the problem is sorting out... | |
| Congratulations Atmasphere! Just curious whether you currently offer multi-channel versions of your amp? Or have any plans to do that i the near future? We are considering an integrated amp. Right now our main concern is getting the amps out the door as timely as we can. | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions What can you say, generally speaking about the distortion make up for class A and highly biased Class a/b solid state amplifiers? Are they generally the higher distortion 2nd harmonic type or the lower distortion 3rd harmonic type.. or have I mis... | |
| Grant Fidelity Treasure Globe 6SN7 SE Do you recall any specific differences besides the potential for microphonic issues? Not really. The internals looked quite similar too. | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II +1 Dave. Thanks! Your description also supports my prior assertions- so lookout- Raul will be after you next 😁 | |
| Top 10 vintage cassette decks I like the Nakamichi decks- they are built quite nicely... BUT the three-head models are prone to failure of the 3rd (record) head. The head is very difficult to find and expensive when you do. You may pay as much for that head as you do for the... | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions So the situation is not completely hopeless. Ralph, how these distortion parameters reflect the distortion of the harmonics of each degree? I think that now i know that i am looking for an amp with small first order distortion but large second ... | |
| Grant Fidelity Treasure Globe 6SN7 SE I haven't heard the Linlai Elites, but would love to read a comparison between the two. Anyone?? We did a comparison and IMO they sounded very similar- and both excellent. However, the globe structure has a decided resonance that the Linlai doe... | |
| Competitive class D amp suggestions Electric engineers succeed to develop exceptionally sounding equipment, but the existing parameter for measuring their ``distortion'' seem to me to be useless. Engineers have other measurement tools: distortion vs frequency (rising distortion ... | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II Incidentally, I don't intend to further participate in this exchange. @wynpalmer4 That's unfortunate. I was/am familiar with Lenz's Law. I was simply hoping you could elucidate on how the input of the phono preamp (where the load is) provide... |
