| current versus watts Dangelod:with the best amps doubling output as impedance is is halved.you're talking audio, man! what's 'best' for you could be 'trash' for another listener! There's no objective definition of 'best amp' in this hobby - it's all VERY subjective.So... | |
| What is meant by a "fast" pre amp Agreed, Al's post was lucid & well-written for most people to understand this technical subject.Just a small addendum - as far as specs are concerned, the higher the slew rate the better. Slew rate can also be thought of as the rate at which t... | |
| Slate under speakers? 02-05-10: DonjrZargon. I'm just theorizing. It seems to me that slate or granite would resonate, where as MDF or plywood would not. If I were using slate or granite, I would put it on high density foam and not a lot of it, to cut down on how much ... | |
| Okay I Bought the Magnepan 3.6's Mcreyn, what's your basis for writing that the X150.5 will not be sufficient power for the Maggie 3.6/Rs??I took a look at the 3.6/R impedance curve in the S'phile review. Here is the link:http://www.integracoustics.com/MUG/MUG/reviews/stereophile... | |
| Zu Essence vs B&W 11-05-09: Macallan7Understood, but Zu does not sell to any local stores, I have heard the 802d but not the 803d. I have listened to Martin Logan, Klipsch, B&W and Von Schweikert.that's quite good! what are your impressions of the 802D sonics? ... | |
| Zu Essence vs B&W 11-05-09: Macallan7i guess I want to know which one would be better suited for my taste in music, I don't care about the technology involved. The problem with your line of reasoning is that the technology used to make a speaker has a distinct effe... | |
| The Hub: Refrigerators that can really sing I, too, have to admit that I am enjoying the historic audio tid-bits.I did not know the personal history of Peter Snell & the sad truth about his untimely passing away.Maybe it's true - the good always die young? | |
| Zu Essence vs B&W I am looking to upgrade from Klipsch RF-7s to Zu Essence but would also like to consider B&W. Any thoughts on how the Essence compare to 803s or even 803d? I listen to mainly rock and singer song writer (Avett Brothers, Bealtes, David Gray, Fl... | |
| Which matters more, DAC or transport? The idea of splurging on a DA then buying a cheap transport, is foolish. well said/written! Indeed the Transport is more important than the DAC. The DAC is "nothing" without a good signal feed into it AND the axiom garbage in, garbage out holds in... | |
| Wadia 170i transport experience? My review doesn't sound like most of the 170i user's opinion but it is my opinion.Not a problem here, Hei83. Your opinion is your opinion & it is a valid opinion. I am not trying to change it!BTW, I do not own a Wadia i170 so it does not matte... | |
| SS Amps that are NOT warm and euphonic ? Thank you Sogood51 for that info. I read this entire thread & did not find his speaker info. I didn't troll the other threads in this sub-forum (too much wasted time!). | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? 09-18-09: SpacerAh! The famous WAF (wife acceptance factor). Simple: you lie. They don't give a dam and they don't know anything about it. Looks like you have been spending a lot of time with stupid women!! You really think that women are that st... | |
| Wadia 170i transport experience? may be the 170i just can't fit into my system. I did think about playing the reclock trick ($250-$1800)but i would rather keep my system simple as getting an audio grade power strip will be another grand and i don't think the 170i is worth that mu... | |
| SS Amps that are NOT warm and euphonic ? MUST be high current solid state with tight controlled bass this is an assinine statement!what do you mean "tight controlled bass"??? Unless you hook the amp to the speaker how do any of these members (who have recommended s.s. amps) know that you... | |
| MOSFET Another device, not yet mentioned is the IGBT, Isolated Gate Bipolar Transistor. I have NO idea if there are audio applications here.Just FYI, the older Thresholds (T200, T100, T400, etc from that era) & several of the down-market Forte amps a... |
