| Mundorf MKP Audiophiler or ClarityCap ESA ? Um, Clarity just released a new version, which replaces ESA, called CSA.If you want dark, but fabulous low level detail, go with Mundorf MKP. If you want a brighter, arier cap, CSA. I can't stress enough though, the MKP has TONS of low level detai... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Al -Yeeeeep. Otherwise I would have said "resistance" and wouldn’t be pointing to frequency dependent graphs to illustrate the magnitude of the effects. Best,Erik | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Done. E | |
| Time for Two Ways ! @schubert Haven't heard Rega in decades. When I last hear them they were Waaaaaay too laid back, the classic British monitor. How are they now? E | |
| Time for Two Ways ! @dweller That sounds like a very very fun project. :) | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Hi @autre I got to hear the NAD Master series DAC two years ago. Cold, it was a painful screech. I never heard it well warmed up, so I would strongly caution you to get a good listen yourself. I also heard Arcam, MUCH MUCH nicer. Like an inexpens... | |
| Time for Two Ways ! @audiokinesis Have to agree. I use 2-way systems which have amazing output in the lowest octave. Not perfect, but wow. In the right room and correctly placed they are nearly perfect. Best,E | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @atmasphere Wrote: As we can see, if one is to point at a tube preamp and blame it for a change in frequency response, I don’t "blame" preamps for changes in frequency response. I say high output impedance causes frequency response changes which v... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Let’s simplify this. I wrote this: The biggest issue with input/output impedance is the change in frequency response....(followed by supporting discussion with links to external sources)You replied: This is mostly misleading or outright false. No... | |
| Vandersteen help needed +1 rotariusAll speakers have this issue due to your head and how it interferes with sound. In all 2 way setups you'll hear instruments and vocals sound more present and brighter at the sides than in the center. If you have a center, and can use N... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Let me go back to what @atmasphere objected to. The biggest issue with input/output impedance is the change in frequency response... I was very specific in what I was talking about. I did not say "the biggest issue with tube preamp sound quality... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! My prior post was a correction and not an attack. I was merely pointing out where the problems were and stated why, basic engineering principles included. More are below. You called my statement: mostly misleading or outright false. That’s not a c... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! @atmasphere Perhaps you feel your preamps are less susceptible than most, which I could believe. I did not make my statements absolute. If you’d like to submit FR charts at different loads like Stereophile has and at different volume settings thi... | |
| How to measure the preamp output? Usually you will hear the amps distort long before you can damage them. :) | |
| How to measure the preamp output? What you really need is a power meter on the amp outputs. I think you can find them on ebay. Best,E |
