| Threshold input impedance ???? Musicman159,Looks like I spoke too soon! Disregard my prev. post. Sorry!Here is a thread that might interest you:-http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1071852000&openfrom&1&4#1 | |
| Threshold input impedance ???? I do not know the exact number however I know that all Threshold series pre & amps were IGFET designs. Given this fact, the input impedance will be very high for both single-ended & XLR.If your pre has a nominal output imp. of 600Ohms or s... | |
| Basic question about impedance and watts Unsound,I *think* that I know where you are coming from: if we have a 100W amp then 100W is the max. output power whereas the user usually never uses 100W. This is your line of thinking. Am I right?ASSUMING I understood your line of reasoning: if ... | |
| Basic question about impedance and watts Ketchup,Dynamic Headroom of an amp is the amp's ability to double it's power output wattage while KEEPING THE SPEAKER IMP. CONSTANT! i.e. 100W into 8 Ohms can become 200W into 8 Ohms momentarily (a few milli seconds).This requires a honking power ... | |
| Basic question about impedance and watts Ketchup,IMHO, Elvick is the only one who seems to have gone thru a bit of number crunching to give you some idea of what kind of power you need for your Thiels. Suffice it to say that you need a *brute* of an amp that "doubles down"! These days th... | |
| Audio Note Japan vs Audio Note UK--Comments? Just another tit-bit as I understand it: Audio Note originally started in Japan by Kondo-san but today, legally, Audio Note is the British company. The original Japanese company is not allowed to use "Audio Note" & has changed names to Kondo. ... | |
| Surprised by quality? Rich,Thanks for the clarification. I indeed have one of the recordings you cited - "Satchmo Plays Fats" on Columbia 6-eyes vinyl. It's a mono recording. I might have another from your list "Ella & Louis" (& not "Ella & Louis Again"). I... | |
| My Comments, Tara Labs Temporal Continuum Cables. Twilo,Hmmmmm....thanks for the info & good to hear that you are enjoying them! So, are these flat ribbon like cables?? Copper or Silver?I'm a TARA Labs user myself as I have the Master Gen II interconnect & speaker cables. I really love th... | |
| EMM Labs DCC 2 - Sneak Preview Tireguy,You'll have to let us know about the sound once you put it thru its paces. I short-listed this one on my DAC list. It has a built-in preamp (much like the dCS gear) but Jonathan Tinn told me that there was a switch or mode where the pre co... | |
| Surprised by quality? Re. quality of recorded music on CD or vinyl: I went to the Underground Atlanta, which is 3-level shopping plaza right in the middle of Atlanta. Was walking around & came upon a 2-man band playing some old Jazz numbers. One fellow was playing ... | |
| What is the theory behind Digital Power cords? Carona, where art thou??!! Your presence for this thread is VITAL! | |
| My Listening Report of 3 Single Driver Speakers TWL,Thanks for your feedback & kind words! | |
| My Listening Report of 3 Single Driver Speakers Smccull,I went thru my notes (both on paper & in my mind) - we played the BENs 1st & then switched mid-stream on one of the tracks to the Abey. Yes, I did hear a bit of harshness & I immediately thought that the Abey were a bit forward... | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Agree with Eldartford - engineers & competent (& even some incompetent) designers fully understand the minute workings of power amps! The electronics, electricity & electro-magnetic concepts that are needed to design an amp are what I ... | |
| Does amp input impedance affect the loudness Mfb33,600 Ohms output impedance is low enough compared to 21KOhms input impedance - it is more than 30 times less. Thus, electrically 600 Ohms will not load down the amp & you will not need to tinker with the volume control vs. a 50KOhms input... |
