| Amp preamp impedance matching...can anyone explain? 07-11-12: River251Thanks Almarg. What sort of frequency response irregularities? If I may be allowed to chime in - like Almarg wrote "Many tube preamps use a coupling capacitor at their outputs, which can cause their output impedance to be much hi... | |
| CARY -- WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES? Part of the problem may arise from people buying used and then needing service. I can see how that would be an issue for manufacturers in better audio these days not just Cary.Mechans how exactly is this an issue, Mechans? IMO, it should not be an... | |
| What's with all the Sony 5400ES units for sale? ....Suggest you try a different hobby. One less stressful, like knitting.had a good laugh reading this suggestion! :-D | |
| CARY -- WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES? 07-10-12: PbnaudioBombaywalla I find your comments about Billy from Cary Audio offensive ! You slander folks from the security of hiding behind your screen moniker - totally un-cool.Sorry to offend you Peter as that was not my intention. I was mer... | |
| CARY -- WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES? I used to own Cary/AES Sixpac mono amps & that time Dennis Had was at the helm of the company. Thru my local audio club I/we even visited the Cary factory (little over an hour of driving where I live) & got a good tour, good listening sess... | |
| Diana Krall Survey 07-04-12: Pat70Here's the first song available from her new album:http://smarturl.it/NewDianaKrallI listened to this track - 1 minute out of 4:08. That's all I could stand of this song! :( It was quite horrible honestly.And, I do like DK but I thi... | |
| Transformers .. Is It Just Me? Common wisdom says the transformer has to be balanced for any sonic benefits to accrue.Sabaino, this is NOT a true statement at all. A transformer can be benefitial even if it's single-ended. it just has to be designed correctly for the job that i... | |
| Does Anyone remember the rubberband is periphery weighting the CD thereby reducing the wobble during spinning. If the CD goes upside down in the Pioneer, the clamp cannot be too big in diameter otherwise it'll cover the inside edge which has all the imp info of the CD... | |
| Conversion of mV to dB Almarg, Actusreus, OK, thanx for the clarification.wow, I have not come across a phono stage outputing a 2Vrms signal! But yeah, the link Almarg sent surely says that...Looks like this RCM Sensor Prelude phono preamp should be set to the 1.4mV set... | |
| Transformers .. Is It Just Me? it's not surprising that you reaped this much benefit from an isolation xformer. Like you said it's results are often YMMV. If you have a lot of grunge on your AC line & you do not have sufficient common-mode rejection then installing an isola... | |
| Big changes ... down the road My current CD player will be my last. When it fails, I'll move to streaming (plus a cheap transport) and an external DAC. when my CDP/transport fails I'll be buying another CDP/transport from the same manuf. No streaming for me. I've heard many sy... | |
| Conversion of mV to dB 06-30-12: ActusreusThank you both. I agree the KAB calculator needs to be used with caution as it does not take into consideration all of the parameters that might come into play when trying to convert different values. It appears that an accurate... | |
| bass traps . Which kind well, when you treat a room you treat it for acoustical pressure (bass) &/or for acoustical waves (mid/highs). When you are treating the acoustical waves you'll find that the treatment is rarely slammed against the wall - there's almost always... | |
| What is a "Current Dumping amp??".. and Pros/Cons Sunnyjim,here is a very good article (technical tho' I MUST warn you!!) on "current dumping":http://www.richardbrice.net/curdump.htmplease read - it should educate you sufficiently.....Thanks. | |
| What makes music so congested? I did a bit of research on the dynamic range of this Yes Fragile album. there was some info on a Head-fi.org forum by a person skilled in the art of mastering & there was some data on avaxhome.ws. In both locations the dynamic range of the var... |
