| Not sure what to think or do... Did you demo the speakers or buy them based on specs or good reviews? I you did and they sounded good on whatever amp you demoed them on, I'd look at the amp. Otherwise if you didn't hear them before purchase, speakers, including good ones, can so... | |
| Pure Class-A Amp under $2000 (USED) If you want pure class A and high power you need a push/pull amp. While very rich class A no push/pull amp stays class A into all impedances at high power. Only a single ended amp(which can only be class A due to circuit topology) is ALWAYS class ... | |
| The revolution has begun! Just to clarify. If by digital amp you mean one with a DAC in it, OK. But if you mean a class D amp, D does not stand for digital and class D amps are not digital but they are analog. There is encoding but the coding is an analog coding. It's unfo... | |
| What's the oddest thing in your music collection? A very early Joan Baez album 'Joab Baez in San Francisco' where she does pop songs and Belafonte folky songs. She even does a version of "young Blood' in a deep, semi-male voice. The Baroque Beatles Book, Beatles tunes made to sound like real bar... | |
| Too much power? 70 dB may be too low for good listening. I'm sure recordings are mastered at significantly higher levels than this. And our hearing response is level related. The lower the level the poorer our hearing at low and high frequencies(I seem to recall ... | |
| When were the best tube amps made? Any amp that can't even reproduce a simple sine wave doesn't count. If the negative half of a sine wave doesn't go down as far as the positive half goes up the amp is non linear and may be musical but it's not fidelity. If it does that to a sine w... | |
| I have an idea for an audio product what should I do? I'm worried you may not know exactly what you are looking at. I assume when you say digital amp you mean a class D amp. But class D is not digital. It is analog. It is a form of encoding music wave forms into square waves but this is an analog enc... | |
| Primaluna. Evo 400 - bass issues If you have used all the speakers in the same positions move the speakers around. Rooms have good and bad bass spots totally due to the room even including spots with literally no bass. | |
| Vintage worth the time to explore? Playing louder has at least 2 affects. For one our hearing response varies in the bass and treble with loudness. Both roll off earlier at low levels. Flat is around 100 dB if I recall correctly and that's too dam loud and can cause ear damage. For... | |
| Has anyone been able to define well or measure differences between vinyl and digital? Teo-Audio. You do know that class D is analog not digital. It is an analog coding and named class D because D comes after C, another type of analog amp not good for audio. Class D does not stand for Digital. | |
| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll Almost all push/pull class A amps are really very rich class A bias AB amps. For example the Pass 30 watt class A amps are 30 watts class A but they are reall75 watt AB amps. Look at the Stereophile tests. And things get worse as load impedance dr... | |
| Amplifier for Wilson Audio Alexia V I'm leery of recommending amp/speaker combos since the results can vary a lot and the final decision must be personal. But i thought I'd comment on tube life. In general you're correct tubes wear out and add the fact the decay is slow so you usua... | |
| Downsizing for Blade 2 and hunting for smaller floor standers Sounds like you have the need a new toy disease. The Blades are great speakers. If you really like them it will be hard and costly to find a superior replacement. Remember since even good speakers vary a lot it matters that you pick one that has t... | |
| LS50 + Sub Or Floorstander? The LS50 is agreat speaker. Getting 2 subs lets you position the subs where they sound best which is often not where the main speakers are. But I advise getting subs with a built in high pass filter(not all do). That takes a huge load off the mai... | |
| Only two tracks to test your system, forever! 1. Kissin - pictures At An Exhibition(piano version) 2. Pentangle - first album called The Pentangle(but only the british version not the awful Warner Brothers American remastering) |
