| Power supply caps nice to note that you are a fellow Apogee user! :-) | |
| Speaker wire construction and sound quality Broadstone,(boy, your username sounds like a CIA operation!!) it might be good for you to read this particular thread on what the essential parameters are for good cable design:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?fcabl&1363313104&&... | |
| Speaker wire construction and sound quality Hey Broadstone,leveraging on Almarg's post:As with most electrostatics, the impedance of your speakers descends as frequency increases, being spec'd at 4 ohms nominally but only 1 ohm at 20 kHz.The reason for this is that electrostatic speakers ar... | |
| EL 34 question Dan,IMHO the issue you are facing is fundamental one in that you are hearing the difference in amplifier topology - the EL34 amp is a push-pull probably configured as a pentode amp while the 300B is a single-ended (as you wrote) amp. The EL34 is a... | |
| Does this speaker exist? I will give more thought to what i mean by "refinement." It's not detail, or it's not only detail. I owned GMA Europas for a while and felt, ultimately, that they did not have enough refinement.thanks for your kind words, Drubin.I did hear the des... | |
| Does this speaker exist? Looking for ideas. Here's the wishlist:- Small footprint, either standmount or small floorstander (<40”)- For listening at normal distances (not nearfield, or not only nearfield)- Comes alive at low volume (let's say that at least it doesn’t ne... | |
| How Good Is A Marble Slab at Deadening Vibration 06-28-13: SunnyjimTO BW: The cork mat sounds simple enough to make..... Unfortunately, I decided to go ahead and try the marble slab before I read any of the posts, so therefore my concern about lifting it again. Surely, a two man job. I will let ... | |
| Oh, the frustrations of the speaker search LOL! whoever said that purchasing a loudspeaker was going to be an easy task?? No, it simply isn't for all the reasons you mentioned. The lower your budget, the more compromises in the design which will impact the sonics. Thus, your budget is mean... | |
| How Good Is A Marble Slab at Deadening Vibration BW, where did you purchase the cork platter matt. I made it myself. Bought the cork roll from Staples, put the MMF5 felt mat on it & traced out a circle, cut it out with an Xacto knife, made a spindle hole also with the Xacto knife & I had... | |
| How Good Is A Marble Slab at Deadening Vibration To Bombaywalla, Interesting suggestion about the cork, though 3mm does not seem very thick, still sounds like a good idea. I've used the 3mm cork mat for damping vibrations on top of a CD player. Also several TTs use this same thickness mat on the... | |
| How Good Is A Marble Slab at Deadening Vibration Sunnyjim,from my experience with marble I am with Geoffkait on this one - a thick slab of marble (which is 2" thick in your case) should be a good material to damp the vibrations. On its own marble (& granite) ring like crazy when struck (as G... | |
| What is your preference, Records or CDs? 06-19-13: MarakanetzCD is obsolete and records are collectible. I've replaced all of my CDs by storage medias.I'm sorry to read this Marakanetz. | |
| Spectral DMA 400 initial impressions Alfredbac, you listed you electronics but you didn't tell us which loudspeaker your 360s2 amps are driving? Thanks. | |
| Reading Spec Sheets Kijanki, thanks for the correction. | |
| Class A Watts So tube amps generally have high impedance output because of the transformers.Tonywinsc, this is not a correct statement. Tube amps have a high output impedance due to the high output impedance of the tube itself. You need many tubes in parallel t... |
