| OP AMP Capabilities in Supporting 24 bit bandwidth I don't know anything about this particular OP amp, but..1...Every OP amp circuit I ever saw had about 60 transistors.2... Every OP amp circuit I ever saw had a complementary circuit topography. (That's part of the reason for so many transistors).... | |
| Why "Cryo" anything? Cryo is just a form of heat treatment. Heat treatment has been used for a thousand years to modify the properties of metals, as in swords. Therefore, it is entirely to be expected that Cryo will affect the tonal quality of brass instruments.But, j... | |
| European AMP in US with step up transformer? Check to see if the transformer of the amp is easily rewired for 110 volts. Most are. Sometimes it is as easy as moving a jumper plug. | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? Sean...I think I will skip the biwire thing for this test. Let's minimize the number of variables. I don't think that spades work with Maggies. (I am actually a "bare wire" guy, so I'm not up on all the various terminations). In addition to the Ma... | |
| Newbie question about reversing Phase?? Some speaker manufacturers (JBL is one) use opposite polarity...plus voltage pulls the cone IN.There is little consistency from recording mics, mixing consoles, amplifiers and speakers, so the likelyhood of getting it "right" is small. Fortunately... | |
| Is there a best cartridge track force gauge? Dougdeacon...Perhaps you should say it the other way around.."SOME stainless steels" are magnetic. The commonly used ones are nonmagnetic. I never ran across one that was magnetic, although I can believe that metallurgists could cook up a formula ... | |
| Who needs spellcheck? I have a spelling checker, it came with my PC.It plane lea marks four my revue, miss steaks I ken knot sea.I've run this poem threw it, an Yule bee pleased two no.It's let her perfect inn its weigh, my checker tolled me sew. | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? Sean...They look a little strange, but if they fit in banana sockets they will work.At present I am biwired with 12 AWG for the woofer and 18 AWG for the tweeter. (The lighter tweeter wire started out at 24 AWG so as to serve as a tweeter padding ... | |
| Is there a best cartridge track force gauge? Tbg...Stainless steel is non magnetic. | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? Sean...Thanks. I hope I get to try them.The Maggie MG1.6 crossover is about as simple as it gets. Low pass is 12 dB and high pass is 6 dB. I replaced the inductor with AWG10 air coil, and the capacitors with Hovlands. Three meters is long enough, ... | |
| 15" vs 18" subwoofer - which to buy? Gregm...I'll see your two SW, and raise you one center SW. I also have SW drivers for the rears, but haven't got around to putting them in enclosures.I think that every speaker system should be flat to near 20 Hz, and that usually means you need t... | |
| Do materials alter frequencies and speed? Sean...The reason people, including me, give you a hard time is that the effects you cite are important for RF, but trivial for audio. I think. However, if you want to send those Nordost cables this way I will see if I can agree with you.By the wa... | |
| Behringer - All The Way DK design that is. | |
| Is there a best cartridge track force gauge? Tbg...I did think of the situation where downforce is applied by a spring. My old Empire turntable worked that way, and I believe it is the best approach because the arm can be mass-balanced so that vibration effects are minimized. With a spring t... | |
| Behringer - All The Way One final thought...It will be hard, but let's avoid the DQ Design mistake! |
