| I ordered Focal Aria 936 The A21 will have no problem at all with the Focal. It is a rock-solid amp, and while Focal's are a little harder to drive than needed, that will be a solid combination. :) Best,E | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- Idahifi,no. ESR = equivalent series resistance. It is measured at specific frequencies, and may be different.Again, i don't know why you are going down this route. Experiment first, replace the caps I listed. See if this fixes things. THEN if that... | |
| Parasound vs Primaluna vs Alternatives Um, dude, the Brooklyn's preamp capabilities are superb. Have you tried running it direct to your amps? :) Best,E | |
| Plinius Hiato Um, I think that's a really nice integrated. I'd suggest you look into your room acoustics if you haven't already. Contact GIK for great advice and products. For the price of a new amp you could get some serious improvements. :) Best,E | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- idahifi,Consistent with my posts. Best,E | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Hi @rhale64 and welcome! Funny you mention the Parasound A23’s. I have to say that going to Class D did not improve imaging. I found the A23’s in my set up to be great imaging amps. Maybe because I ran them as dual mono? I used them in a 4.1 chann... | |
| DVR's and Apple TV sound Hi,I imagine things can change, espeically with 4k coming on board. I'm not really sure. :) But not sure what the problem is. If you have a DD capable processor/receiver you are pretty much going to be all set. Best,E | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- Hi Tim,Yes, your analysis is correct. :) Too low impedance in the second poles _may_ lead to lowering of system impedance above the cut off. I know it’s weird, but I’ve seen it and modelled it a few times. It is a real effect. Whether that is what... | |
| DVR's and Apple TV sound Hi,Streaming you'll get either a stereo signal which is matrixed for surround, or Dolby Digital, which uses discrete channels. For the former, Neo is my preference. You should also try it in Music mode for music, as the center channel can be a lot... | |
| New Schiit Freya or used Conrad Johnson PV-10AL/BL, or? I really like the PV-10, as a fun, musical preamp but it is also a little noisy. :) If I had one again I would mod it and reduce the overall gain significantly. Best,E | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- So looking at the schematic, the two caps I would be most suspect of are C3 and C4. Note they have a resistor in series with them, so the overall resistance there must be important. I would suggest you go back to the original caps there, and liste... | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- Idahifi,Bring your problem over to DIYhifi, where you will find tons of speaker design geeks in the Multi-Way forum. :) http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/I can help you there more easily with pics, diagrams etc.Best,E | |
| HELP AFTER MY MODS, My tweeters are subdued and weak- Hi Idahifi,I think I know what happened. You removed electrolytic shunt caps without taking into account the reduced ESR. The easiest way to fix this is to replace the original shunt caps. By shunt, I mean caps that go towards ground, and are not ... | |
| Doh, left system off all night @kennythekey That is funny, good to know. ;) @wolf_garcia Yeah, I worry about having too many devices on, but my 3 HT amps take up like 21 watts while on, so I feel like I"m saving my bill and the environment by sticking with Class D. :) Best,E | |
| Duelund Capacitors?? Just FYI, I've listed my Duelund Silver Wax/Oil 0.047 caps on e-bay. :) Best,E |
