| Which is better for sound quality? TPA6120A2 Do you know what package this comes in, how will you use/install that?Cheers George | |
| Which is better for sound quality? joser9616 If you can afford it go 2 x OPA627’s on these adaptors, but make sure you get the OPA627’s from authorized Texas dealers, or 100% you will get fakes, and they are expensive.https://www.cimarrontechnology.com/browndog-020302-single-to-dua... | |
| Tortuga Preamps Are these still being made and what is the link to purchase? Are these offered with real balanced connections.? Yes send a PM or there are many other ways just Google, or if you have the diy skills build one for yourself, as I've given all the ... | |
| Pure Class A amps above 100 Watts? larrykell Do you have any pictures of that water cooled amp? Nothing succeeds like excess. I owned a Mac computer that was water/liquid cooled. It weighed a ton. How much did your amp weigh? OK you asked for it, believe it or not time. Sorry no... | |
| Pure Class A amps above 100 Watts? My Gryphon Colosseum draws 500w while idling My water cooled one I built, drew over 2500w at idle, with 230v mains, and had a special h/d power point, as the normal 10amp ones use to get hot and give connection problems over time. When this beast... | |
| Tortuga Preamps scm Love my Tortuga ! That’s good stay with it, they are still way better than any other form of passive or active volume control. Dartzeel use them the same way I do as their "Pleasure Control" in their $18k preamphttps://www.stereophile.com/sol... | |
| Tortuga Preamps It’s an active circuit attached to the output, which is the audio signal, and not being match need calibrating at every increment of volume adjusted to stay calibrated. If you have "say" 3 led/ldr’s (could be two or one, as they are not matched) o... | |
| Tortuga Preamps If only the Lightspeed had 3 inputs......I would sacrifice a " little " in sq for the convenience. George feels it sacrifices a lot in sq Like I say to all that ask for a multiple input Lightspeed, you can always get one of these to put in front ... | |
| Are Martin Logan’s what they used to be? I have the ESL11A’s and love them for me the staging is awesome Yeah!! pvmike, brace the top of the esl panel to the back of the bass box so it becomes rigid and doesn’t move back and forward, then come back and tell me just how much better the s... | |
| Are Martin Logan’s what they used to be? I have the older Monoliths with the "newer vapour deposited clear coating" esl panel which is what the Neolith use. And nothing ML makes save for the Neolith comes close. The linear power supplies and xovers are far superior quality to the newer s... | |
| Tortuga Preamps The data seems to indicate significant distortion Been there and done that with "active forced matching".I use "quad matched" sets of the far more expensive NSL32RS2S "sorted" LED/LDR’s which also go lower in impedance than the non "S" version, t... | |
| It is balanced or not? Too many sources and amps are really SE main circuitry with opamps on the input or output to make them pseudo balanced (xlr) just to suck in the xlr freaks. In these cases stick with SE, and you bypass these opamps (best opamp is no opamp). You on... | |
| Bridging an amplifier It's all out there to search, Al has also given some good info on it as well, above. If all you need is watt's then bridging is the way to go. Cheers George | |
| Bridging an amplifier audiobrian Flemming was expressing his disdain for Monoblocks that are actually 2 internally bridged amplifiers Flemming is right, and these are these are the reasons for not bridging amps. I’ve said it before in other threads here it is ag... | |
| Aurender MQA update worth it? MQA update worth it One word, from everything legit and not affiliated I’ve listened to/heard of/read/and tests of MQA ????????? And that’s it, it’s not even worth one word.And if you remember Aurender 1st dac with MQA was tested by Stereophile t... |
