| active crossover recommendation I love active crossovers. All things being equal an active crossover beats a passive one every day. But, except possibly for sub woofers, generic crossovers have a significant weakness. Drivers, even good ones, are not flat. Much of this is handle... | |
| NEW MASTERSOUND 845 COMPACT TUBE INTEGRATED AMP : REVIEW.. PERFECTION There is no such thing as a perfect amp and the review even explains the SET compromises. I've been told the most important characteristic of an audio system is linearity and SETs are inherently non linear due to the topology of SET circuitry. SE... | |
| I want more bass… What kind of music are U listening to? does it have really deep bass? Most people think mid bass is deep bass. Woofer position, as mentioned , is critical for deep bass. Rooms actually have null spots where there is no bass if your woofers are the... | |
| Is there a 300B type amp out there with some WATTS behind it? I've seen push/pull 300B amps with as much as 28 watts. But push/pull can never sound the same a SET due to the topology difference which results in different wave forms from the two different formats. Single ended amps are asymmetrical amplifiers... | |
| This Sounds Like A Pretty Good Deal -- Opinions? Just curious. If you buy both pieces, are you going to use a low output pickup? If not try the phono stage in the C11 first. | |
| World's Best Stereo System ?... Until there's a 'perfect' system(which may be never) there will be arguements about which is the best system and the arguments are valid. | |
| Warm and accurate bookshelves that can handle volume I go along with henry53. If a system is always warm it's colored . Input varies and the system should mirror that unless you really want it to be warm all the time. It's a valid choice but it's not accurate. You can't have both. You can't even alw... | |
| Speakers with deep/powerful bass I was with my friend George Bischoff who was the main designer of Scaena speakers at Harry Pearson's years ago. The Scaena were line sources with planar tweeters and dynamic mids. The woofers were powered modular 18" woofers with equalization(actu... | |
| Hey, I'm looking for the highest quality recordings from the following Artists: Eva Cassidy is easy, the 2 CD Nightbird(or the 1 CD version) recorded live at Blues Alley. Easily the most natural(live recording) and dynamic(lack of compression) of all her recordings. And because of that it captures her unique, exciting approac... | |
| Interesting "Self" review...Schiit Measurements do matter. But they aren't only the standard ones. SET amps ahve very high 2nd harmonic distortion but that's very musical. And it can't be fixed because it's due to inherent non-linearity in the single ended topology which shows up a... | |
| Subwoofer boom is too much for me... Stuffing the port of a sub will make it less of a sub. The lowest notes of a ported box come from the port, not the driver. And if the box was not designed to be used stuffed as well as a higher bass cut off you could get boomy bass even from a 's... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations Tube amps always have a high output impedance(low damping factor). This interacts with the varying impedance with frequency of all loudspeakers to produce frequency response variations which would not be there with high damping factors of most sol... | |
| When were the best tube amps made? Since I've gotten mentioned in these discussions I'll cite a few good tube examples. CAT has a superb reputation and I've heard this from other tube designers I know and respect. David Berning is a genius. His ZTOL circuit is one of the few real... | |
| New to vinyl question VTA matters. And changing VTF changes VTA. So when playing with VTF you must follow with VTA adjustment every time. | |
| Rounded back enclosure gives clearer sound - B&W 805 Does the rounded back help? Yes. Is it definitive and/or is it necessary? no. |
