| Solid State Amplifier Advancements In A Decade 11-03-15: JafantMitch-I think we all owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Nelson Pass.Historically, he has given us audiophiles some of the greatest SS power amps. 2nd would be Mr. Mark Levinson.11-03-15: JafantSecond note;Honorable mention to Bob Carve... | |
| Bowers and Wilkerson B&W 802 D3: an impolite Brit? 10-22-15: Aintitgr8I had just posted and made the point that the ruthlessly accurate speakers like Wilson Audio are system and wire dependent. If you can't figure out the neutral wire needed you aren't going to like this kind of studio monitor qua... | |
| Does anyone else think this Nothing like the summer I worked just to buy a stereo, it would never happen now.Lloydcyeah! they'd work the summer to buy an iPhone!! LOL!like my son's friend's mom said "youth is wasted on the young!" | |
| Greenville SC / Hendersonville-Asheville NC areas Zephyr24069, got back into town today hence the late post. Like-wise had a wonderful time. Thanks for hosting us. Cymbop it was great to meet you. Let me know if you guys are passing thru my neck of the woods. | |
| Bowers and Wilkerson B&W 802 D3: an impolite Brit? Perhaps my careful consideration of component matching, speaker positioning and mains quality paid dividends!Mark_nz this is precisely the issue - anytime you have to 'carefully' match components so that the system sounds just right, you have a pr... | |
| Power factor correction implementation? Isn't it as simple as using a power factor correction capacitor? power factor correction in DACs? They consume very little current compared to a power amp that the benefit of doing PFC on a DAC by the manuf is probably not very beneficial to the u... | |
| Tube Watts vs. Solid State Watts - Any credence? 10-12-15: BeavisAre you trying to tell tube/solid state amps measure RMS differently?Since Mapman has not answered till now & if I may be permitted to reply in his stead understanding what he is trying to say then.........no, he's not saying t... | |
| Bowers and Wilkerson B&W 802 D3: an impolite Brit? Tompoodie,like many before me have already written B&W sucks bug time. I dont think they know how to design a speaker. Right from my DM604S2 I didnt like them much at all. Personally I had some success with my DM604S2 but after about a yr &... | |
| Tube Watts vs. Solid State Watts - Any credence? 10-12-15: TreljaAnother thank you, Bombaywalla!welcome Trelja. | |
| Tube Watts vs. Solid State Watts - Any credence? 10-12-15: FrogmanI will let the more technically astute than I debate the technical side of this issue, but experiences with both tube and ss amps have shown me that there is much more going on than "a watt is a watt", or wether the amp in questio... | |
| Tube Watts vs. Solid State Watts - Any credence? 10-11-15: BifwynneThanks Bombaywalla. I really enjoyed reading the 1983 Atkinson and Messenger ......welcome Bifwynne. yeah, I figured it might be difficult to understand what was written in that patent application not only because of the material... | |
| Tube Watts vs. Solid State Watts - Any credence? Ralph,thanks for pointing this out - you're right feedback & output power are not related. I should have written that sentence differently pointing out that output power depends on the topology of the tube - triode vs. ultra-linear vs. pentode... | |
| Tube Watts vs. Solid State Watts - Any credence? 10-10-15: BifwynneThanks Bombaywalla ... but what is the purpose of partial cathode coupling. Is it a form of local negative feedback?? Does it ameliorate some of the adverse affects associated with NFB that Ralph has written about, e.g., TIM dist... | |
| How important is the amp? 10-10-15: Nonoise...... Having said that, the biggest distortion generator in the audio chain is the speaker. Hands down. I agree Nonoise. I stated this in another thread not too long ago & was challenged by the fellow who makes the Lightspeed... | |
| Tube Watts vs. Solid State Watts - Any credence? 10-10-15: DjfstTried it again and the 8ohm taps definitely sound better all day long compared to the 4ohm taps. Who knows? there's a good explanation for it as stated in my earlier post. I guess you missed reading it??Bifwynne,yeah LOL! ;-)@Bombay... |
