| Step down transformers detrimental to SQ? +1 atmasphere, I have used a bucking transformer and it's a very clean solution to the problem, but if I recall mine only dropped the voltage around 14V, not 20V. | |
| Where are the Exogal Vortex streamers? For now, though, let me put it this way: would you be more frustrated if we released a buggy product that's vulnerable to evolution, or if it's delayed until it's right and future proofed? I can say from a recent experience with another manufact... | |
| Electrostatic pros and cons. If you get an amp with a 2 ohm rating for power, it will easily drive 'stats. That is a very broad and somewhat incorrect statement - depending on the ESL we are talking about (and I am talking about ESL, not ribbon or planar magnetic which are di... | |
| Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time" Fritz and I have done a number of shows together pairing his speakers (Carbon 7 and Carrera) with a 12 watt 300B SET amp. The whole thing happened by accident as the first show we did together the original amp we were going to use had an issue, so... | |
| Electrostatic pros and cons. Electrostatics are very fast and transparent. Can any woofer match?Yes but my experience is with a bi-amp set up and woofer array. I think the Sander’s Sound speakers are a great example of a hybrid speaker. The Martin Logan speakers I have heard,... | |
| Electrostatic pros and cons. @bdp24: Yes that was him and those were the speakers. IIRC Sean told me he worked on the Beveridge 4.In addition to being on the side walls the speakers were positioned equidistant from the front and back walls. You could sit on either side of the... | |
| Electrostatic pros and cons. You don't want hybrids because you will never achieve the proper integrationI can say that hasn't been my experience. | |
| Electrostatic pros and cons. If tech talk is off the table, that's all I have to offer.@audiokinesis: I think the technical aspect of the ESL is quite important. The Beveridge lens revolutionized how ESL's sound, especially as it applies to sound dispersement and I'm not sure... | |
| 105db/W high efficiency speaker suitable for low power SET Interesting speaker, but more interesting to me is they indicate they are the US distributor for Analysis Audio speakers which are based on Apogee designs. I have always been interested in those speakers so will give them a call just for that but ... | |
| Used Atma-Sphere M60-MK111 Tube Amplifiers Contact Ralph Karsten at Atma-Sphere. He can tell you exactly what you need to know. | |
| good hifi store in Bay Area Tone of Music is my favorite but doesn't carry B&W. However, the Devore's sounded very nice when I was last in the shop dropping off some tubes for Tim. | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. can you find the thread. I had no luck. Here you go:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/st-70-best-sounding-version/post?highlight=dynaco%2Bst70&...Someone asked about the differences between an RM-10 MkI and MkII so perhaps you can educate... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. I can say from Roger's perspective that while he listens to digital sources, I am not sure he would comment on their circuit designs given his lack of interest in manufacturing such a unit. Roger is all about research first and foremost, as a grea... | |
| How to record from lps to tapes Have you tried going from the Allnic output direct to the input of the Otari and then the Otari output to see if the volume level is different? This is how I have done recordings using my digital source to tape, even though my preamps have tape lo... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @ieales - Thanks for digging that up. From what I read in the link if the B4 kits were to be available in March or so, then they are either quite delayed or perhaps they were made available and sold out. I have the SL kit on a fully populated boar... |
