| Ortofon mono cartridges It certainly won't track properly, and I would expect damage. | |
| Ortofon mono cartridges Stylus diameter for 78 rpm was larger. I think that all 33 rpm, mono and stereo, call for the smaller diameter. | |
| does more power=better quality ? Uru975...Eliminate the transformer, and what do you get? About a dozen output tubes! | |
| ICEpower Digital Switching Amps? Muralman1...Capacitors (or inductors) are ideal for filtering high frequency noise, and relatively small values do the job. All power supplies have some capacitance for this purpose. Lower frequency ripple, like 120 and 60 hz are easily tracked an... | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. Jax2...No I haven't heard that one, but I guess noone else has either. And, believe it or not I do know who Philip Glass is, and his tonal wanderings are quite nice. Now, if he could just think of a melody, and get some rhythm we might have someth... | |
| Learning about my room and my sound.. Rives is very generous with free advice for the DIY guy, and I would take this attitude into account when hiring professional help. And furthermore, what they say seems to make good technical sense to me. | |
| does more power=better quality ? People who have Magneplanar speakers, and people who have Lowther speakers know the answer to this question. YES, and NO, and both are correct. | |
| ICEpower Digital Switching Amps? Ar_t...You said "The guys who are listening to 8 W SETs probably aren't going to be happy with them". Well, I read that many of those guys are all enthused about a little battery-powered TriPath-based digital amp that pumps out five mighty watts. ... | |
| Whither the Great Designers? Probably in China. | |
| Multi-channel vs 2 channel SACD; difference? Matchstikman...I have a Denon 2900 with Underwood 3-channel mod and clock, and a stock Pioneer DV45. The Pioneer is in the HT rig.Chadnliz...And sometimes it all goes to hell in stereo. It all depends on the disc, but a good multi beats a good ste... | |
| ICEpower Digital Switching Amps? Ar_t...You said "An amp is really nothing more than a modulated power supply". Very true. In fact, long before digital audio amps were invented the manufacturer of an IEEE controlled bench DC power supply demonstrated the slew rate of his product ... | |
| Multi-channel vs 2 channel SACD; difference? I don't know what "most" people do, but if they only use 2 channels it is my opinion that they have wasted money on SACD. It can be better stereo, but not a dramatic improvement for the typical disc.To answer your specific question in a word...yes. | |
| Impotence Question There will be only slight reduction of volume when the second speakers are connected. The amp will put out a certain voltage (corresponding to volume level) but with two speakers being driven the amp will have to pump out twice as much current to ... | |
| Multi-channel vs 2 channel SACD; difference? Matchstikman...I am the wrong guy to ask as I rarely listen to SACD in stereo. However, I think that most would agree that either format can be good or bad depending on how the mix and mastering was done. SACD obviously has potential to be better. | |
| Learning about my room and my sound.. Peter_s...The Behringer mic is the one I use with my Behringer DEQ2496, and it is a good item..BUT...it requires a "phantom" power supply from the unit it is plugged in to. I don't think your computer does this. |
