| How it's Made - Cool manufacturing Videos Here is the MBL, with extra attention to the tweeter section! Thanks to another Agoner who brought this to my attention in the Tweeters thread.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrNOq41LGjs | |
| Does anyone notice a reduction in sound quality when a tuner is part of ther audio chain? Not an expert, but I think that the IF amplifiers in tuners can be pretty noisy and emit a lot of noise. If you leave them on all the time then this would explain it. This is kind of how radar detectors detectors work, they pick up on the IF ampli... | |
| Class D = Trash? Ahhh, makes sense, and yes indeed it does. :) Thanks for the clarification. | |
| Class D = Trash? Hi @georgehifi I'm not sure that feedback in a digital amp works the same way, or has the same consequences as it does in a linear amplifier. Do you have any data that indicates feedback is anything but a positive in a digital amplifier? Best,E | |
| What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers?? Did a single blind experiment with jazz loving neighbors. Mogami Sound Runner vs. Wireworld Eclipse.Monoblock amps, Focal Profile speakers. Theta Casanova as the source. I asked them to listen for imaging, midrange and treble. They could not see w... | |
| Sonus Faber vs Focal and maybe even Dynaudio or PSB I’m not very sure about the Ariel. The way you can tell is when Crutchfield or Music Direct start carrying them at 45% off. Focal starts out selling at full price to retailers, and as the marketing novelty wears off and they need to close out thei... | |
| Sonus Faber vs Focal and maybe even Dynaudio or PSB I appreciate the need to support your local dealer, but they are totally overcharging you on the Focal for the age of the speaker. Usually in the Focal life cycle, you should be expecting significant amount off retail for a speaker that old.Dynaud... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Todd,If you like tubes, stay with tubes. :) No matter how good the Mytek is, it won’t be a tube pre. :) Best,E | |
| Class D is just Dandy! I like it, a line of electronics named after great cheeses of the world. | |
| Tandberg 1020 Light Bulb I strongly encourage you to replace those lights with low current LED's if possible. Huge drain on the power supply, and heats up insides of the receiver.A technician should be able to whip something up for you. Best,E | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Great info @noble100 I don't usually agree with the theme that "Class D is about to get as good as Class A" as I think it has been there for a while. Linear amplifier distortion can be reduced by feedback, something digital amps may use in buckets... | |
| Class D = Trash? Modern Op amps are very good implemented correctly. Most music is produced with tens of them in the signal chain at least. There's no way to avoid them entirely. Almost all DAC's rely on them, if not external, then implemented in the filter chips ... | |
| Class D = Trash? Was compared against Emotiva and it did not come close to the power and sound.Emotiva is a brand I had really high hopes for. Best,E | |
| Class D = Trash? I guess what I'm saying is:When I worked in circuit design we just threw a bunch of bypass caps of different types into the power supply without ever measuring their effectiveness or cost/benefits.If I did this again, I'd take a more rigorous appr... |
