| Amplifier current draw/wattage Hello AL, Thanks for your response. Al I already knew the calculation and realized that at my listening distance= 9feet and usual sound levels=70-85db(depends on recording) I`m only using small fractions of a watt! I was just curious to know if th... | |
| Amplifier current draw/wattage Hi Magfan,I don`t want to measure speakers, but want to know the power output of the amplifier at different volumes. IOW how much power is used at say SPL of 70db vs 85db(how hard is the amp working) measured in watts.Regards, | |
| Amplifier current draw/wattage Hello,Does the "Kill-A-Watt device allow measurement of power amp wattage used to drive a speaker load or just current draw fom AC outlet? | |
| Impedance or sensitivity? I agree with Clio09 as a moderate to high impedance level 'with' a smmoth/relatively flat curve is very favorable to low power tubes.Sensitivity determines ultimate sound pressure levels but in terms of ease of driving a speaker its impedance.My s... | |
| TRL Dude or Joule 150 MKII for Major Pre Upgrade The Dude I borrowed for a few days last month had dual volume controls and is a recent model. | |
| Seeking floorstander for low watt SET Devilboy is right,we all have different ears and preferences, thus recommendations can be tricky. The Coincident (Total Eclipse in my case )speaker is just plain wonderful in my system. Very easy load, utterly natural and emotionally engaging yet ... | |
| Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95 Hi,Daveb, is it your point that the Denon DCD A100 is equal to or in fact better than the modded Modwright players? | |
| TRL Dude or Joule 150 MKII for Major Pre Upgrade Pubul57,You make some very good points,and yes nothing beats a personal audition. I`m familiar with the CAT linestage but I`d take the TRL Dude if given a choice. I find the Dude more'natural' the Cat in my experience is more 'hifi' in presentatio... | |
| Where stands the music of Chet Baker with you? Unsound,Yes I`m referring to Chet when he`s at his best and his chops were in good form.Slothman,I have more Miles Davis recordings than Chet Baker but still enjoy both of them very much. | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Hi Doron,You can just click system below my post to see pictures and description. I have no bass issues at all with my Frankenstein driving the Coincident speakers. My sense regarding the EML 300b is similar to yours(based on some reviews). The Ps... | |
| TRL Dude or Joule 150 MKII for Major Pre Upgrade The move to the TRL Dude from the Rotel will be profound IMO. | |
| Where stands the music of Chet Baker with you? This has been an interesting thread, opinions vary significantly(as it does with components).Unsound, I same as you don`t care for his vocals, but flat trumpet tone? Chet IMO had a beautiful and rich tone.Other examples of good trumpet tone were A... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Doron,Thanks very much for your impressions. I use the Shuguang Black Treasure(BT) and love them in my Coicident amplifier. If the Psvane is a step above the BT then I`m interested. Israel Bloom(Coincident) said the BT and Psvane were very close w... | |
| Where stands the music of Chet Baker with you? I like Chet Baker`s trumpet sound and style a lot. Very expressive approach with beautiful tone,He was best with ballads. "These Foolish Things","Autunm in New York" and "If You Could See Me Now" are a few examples of effective emotional playing I... | |
| pass labs xa30 to valve amplifier. Pubul57,I agree with you,simpler design(fewer parts and minimalist approach) + quaility execution/built = better sound. I once believed the more power the better(can`t have too much power school of thought). I was wrong. |
