| pros and cons: beryllium vs ribbon tweeters in sound and emotions terms Actually, I think the earliest Infinitys - such as the QRS - did use the Strathearn ribbon. Later Infinitys, such as the IRS, RS1, Betas, etc. used EMITS and EMIM planar drivers, but they weren't ribbons. | |
| pros and cons: beryllium vs ribbon tweeters in sound and emotions terms jafant2,146 posts"I can remember hearing very sweet music from older Infinity and Apogee Slant 8, models- both featured ribbon tweeters!"Although they used planar drivers, the Infinitys didn't use ribbbons. | |
| Xor or single ended? pbnaudio "Its generally not recommendable to hook up a fully balanced phono system with RCA connectors because the negative node is thereby fully exposed on the barrel of the RCA connector i.e. not shielded ..."If the phono preamp and line st... | |

| Xor or single ended? azjake OP243 posts" My preamp is fully balanced but the tone arms were mistakenly made with s. E. Terminations!"Does the pickup arm have a separate ground wire, as is common? If so, you can use a multimeter to check if there is continuity between... | |
| Xor or single ended? lewm4,763 posts02-02-2016 3:08pm"cleeds is basically correct but not entirely correct. The coil in the cartridge has two free ends; I think we can easily agree on that. When you use the cartridge in single-ended mode, one end is connected to... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... geoffkait may be one of those people who believe math and science are intuitive. Perhaps - for real math wizards - it is intuitive. But for most of us, it isn't. Even Einstein said he struggled with math.It's probably futile to try and explain thi... | |
| Xor or single ended? A phono cartridge is actually an inherently balanced design - it has a separate hot for left and right, separate grounds for each, and a shield. That makes phono connections ideal for balanced phono preamps, because a truly balanced (differential... | |
| Audio Research discontinuing lower lines components? taters"First off, I don't dislike ARC. I actually own it myself. I grew up with ARC when a man with a decent job could afford to buy it.

| Audio Research discontinuing lower lines components? taters"Jhconner, That's a 40 percent price raise in 8 years."Taters, we get that you really don't like ARC - but that doesn't excuse your fuzzy math. The Ref 3 was introduced in 2004 at $10K. A Ref 6 in 2016 is 14K. Calculating simple interest, t... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... Balanced connections can reduce interference - including RFI & EMI - because the signal comprises two hot legs - one out of phase with the other - and a separate ground. Interference is typically induced equally into the two hot legs. The bala... | |
| Banana plugs into Pass x.5 amps don_c55"Spades have a much larger contact area, with lower contact resistance, and can handle higher current easier.A superior connection!"Not necessarily - it would depend on the spade and the post to which it is affixed. | |
