| Review: COINCIDENT STATEMENT PHONO STAGE Tube preamp Noromance:I don’t know why I am just seeing this more than a year later ???Im describing a sound that has a slight burnishing along with a minutiae of information removal. Now, having stated this I am not saying this applies to ALL step ups. I bet... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong teo:I understand your hypothesis and it is well articulated. The only issue I have is that I do not agree it is tightly intertwined with Class D operation. My AMR Phono stage is the best I’ve heard and it sounds great straight from standby mode bu... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Can SMPS’s work? As a software and electrical engineer, I would like to think yes. I build power supplies for my internal projects. I want them to be as good as a regulated linear PI filtered supplply but as of today HECK NO! They are RF stations ... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Tweak1: You get it. If someone has “huge” current spikes at 120hz in a linear supply then they suck at power supply design, SMPS’s are miniature radio stations inside your amps. It’s called a PI filter.The guy who owned the H2o amp company underst... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong It’s the type of noise that is so damaging with a SMPS. It’s akin to odd order harmonic distortion. Large amounts of even order harmonic distortion can be tolerated and sometimes even enjoyed, but odd order harmonics orders of magnitude lower can ... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong kijanki:Yes I know SMPS’s are inherently regulated and can be very quiet but the crap noise (RF) kicked back is VERY VERY hard to stop and it fouls up (at least for me) everything I’ve ever heard them in when it comes to a high end system. A switc... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong erik_squires:Not sure if you are intimating that it is the ICE tech that is an issue (to you) or if the SMPS is not a problem to you. If the former, I am certainly not stating that all ICE implementations are the same or that they would all be goo... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong It’s not the class D (ICE in this case) that’s the issue. It’s the sucky SMPS’s that are the problem. I have a pair of (when available) $25k Acoustic Reality Thaumaturges, it is one of the finest amps I’ve yet to hear and own and that is a very lo... | |
| Anyone have this turntable issue? If your mute is actually working then it is most likely a high static discharge. | |
| Anyone have this turntable issue? My London Reference is very sensitive to landing and lift-off from the record and it has nothing whatsoever to do with static. I’ve seen this lead in pop noise also with my modified Denon 103.3 and it seems to happen more so with newer albums wher... | |
| Anyone have this turntable issue? Try this, and it may seem simple. Move the stylus to the lead-in groove and before you lower it, move it just enough such that it touches down after the music has been cut into the vinyl. In other words, try lowering the stylus anywhere on the rec... | |
| Best USB port on a late 2012 Mac mini Most likely yes and my best advice to you is to find a track you are really familiar with and play about 20-30 seconds of it across all the ports. Listen for the best presentation. This is what I literally do with everything, ifor me it’s the only... | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 solypsa:You are so very correct. | |
| SME release new Garrard 301 fsonicsmith:Hi, ok based on what you are saying it appears that your brake may just be set a bit high. This should not be an issue. I was under the impression that when you turned it off a 26 lb platter came to an abrupt and immediate halt. If it ... | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Just a quick follow up on this cartridge. I had a chance to listen to the Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 on a replinth’d Technics SP10 R with a Schroeder CB-L arm. I was shocked, Chris of Artisan Fidelity was shocked. I even wrote François to tell him I f... |
