| Class A Solid State Sound Sorry, wrong!If you really wanted to be a peacemaker, you should have just posted your first sentence and left it at that.Cheers George | |
| Low Sensitivity Speakers Compression Issue. I haven’t heard many high-sensitivity dynamic (cone) speakers, so I’m very interested in any of them that are free of the colorations of horns. Or in any modern horns that are free of the classic horn colorations. Any loudspeaker that changes the... | |
| Low Sensitivity Speakers Compression Issue. If you are playing at a low volume then that will define the maximum loudness which will limit the dynamic range In a good system the "ratio" of the quietest musical passage to the loudest one should be the same at low level listening or at high ... | |
| Quad 2912 vs Martin Logan ESL 11a jtucker One of my concerns is the maintenance of the Mylar panels. This goes for any ESL'sNo problems, depends how you treat them, by doing below you'll get an easy 10+ years out of the panels. Don't smoke any kind of stuff in the same room... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound same same, the bi-polar will do more current than mosfet, end of story.My ME amp, 24 bi-polars (bjt's) per channel, (Nelson Parallel 24 bjt's per channel with one of the Thresholds.) Lets see a Mosfet do 100amps continuous with 12 (six pairs) per ... | |
| If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money Yes the very good Cambridge Audio CXC CD Transport, at $500aud. https://www.tnt-audio.com/sorgenti/cambridge_cxc_e.html Cheers George | |
| Low Sensitivity Speakers Compression Issue. You cannot have enough real dynamic range, as it’s the real thing. Different story if you’ve added and DR Expander circuit, then it’s false.All noises we hear out in the world have "real" dynamic range, whether it’s a A380 flying over head, or a f... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound In term of drive, everything else being equal, BJT usually has more output current output so it should be able to drive better vs. FET. Therefore BJT sound tends to have more dynamic compared to FET. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/06/dc/05/0... | |
| ML classics 9 and what amp ? As these don't have active bass they need some grunt, you need an amp that's got some current and one that's stable down into 0.8ohms. and won't wimp out into this impedance. For an integrated I would think a Gryphon Diablo-120 or 300 if you can ... | |
| Bi amp pros out there I could use some help! First time Bi Amping... The thing is, to bi-amp using the internal speaker-level x/o is to not reap some of the major benefits of bi-amping: I totally understand where your going, but it’s obvious or not in tune with what the OP is capable or wanting to do. It’s his thr... | |
| Bi amp pros out there I could use some help! First time Bi Amping... o do it correctly is much more involved than merely putting an external x/o and a second amp onto a pair of loudspeakers. The internal speaker-level x/o must be discarded, the outboard line-level x/o doing all the filtering. The whole idea was si... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? ahofer I've tried a variety of preamps and the only real difference I noticed was an increased noise floor (that was with a Spectral preamp, not a tube unit, interestingly enough) and some tube bloat. So true ahofer, that's all they can do... | |
| Bi amp pros out there I could use some help! First time Bi Amping... Saw it Al, but it's more war and peace than mine, think it could loose him.And he should just use these for the Bat to give single ended https://au.rs-online.com/web/p/products/0448351/?grossPrice=Y&cm_mmc=AU-PLA-DS3A-_-google-_-PLA_AU_EN_Con... | |
| Bi amp pros out there I could use some help! First time Bi Amping... haywood310 Just picked up a BAT vk 200 for the bass and using my Pass Aleph 5 for the mids and tweets. This should sound very good.Because you have amps that are not identical, vertical bi-amping is out.You’ll have to do horizontal bi-amping. ht... | |
| How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? How far have ss amps really come in the last twenty years? Quite a bit, just to pick one area, global feedback was used too much to get distortion down 20 or more years ago, these days the good ones do it without too much feedback, and with th... |
