| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live One last thing only buy gold plated connectors or you will develop a hum when the tin connections gets tarnished. @5windowcoupe Tin and gold share a property which is they boh are resistant to corrosion! This is why tin is often used in connect... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? Something to keep in mind is that a $40,000 amp is likely not going to be playing $200 speakers; its likely to be playing on speakers that have a similar price tag. Some speakers with that sort of price really are wider bandwidth and lower distort... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live Your Soundlabs has a sensitivity of 89db SPL at i meter @rauliruegas Being that the Sound Lab is a large curved panel, you have to add 6dB to the rating to find out the effective sensitivity when you are back about 10 feet. The reason is that a... | |
| So I was changing a lightbulb last night… Why is touching the ground (lamp body is normally grounded) with a human body (fairly well insulated from ground, assuming shoes, ladder, carpet) getting a signal to the tone arm. The tonearm is carbon fiber, the clearaudio ‘Satisfy Carbon’. ... | |
| Ground voltage!! @fuzztone Then he'll be waiting for... ? | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live The fun thing here is knowing that microphones, electronics and headphones have been so real sounding they can fool a jaundiced audiophile and have been able to do so for decades. I can recount several experiences where this was underlined in spa... | |
| 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... |
