| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range bstatmeister OP May need to add the Schiit Aegir to the list now that it’s available. It’s $100 more than the Vidar, but supposed to sound better overall as long as you don’t listen at high levels with inefficient speakers. The Vandy 2Cs are 88db... | |
| What’s the Right Power Amp Ratio For Bi-Amping? Bridging seems too extreme by the way, as I’d end up with the capability to produce 400 watts per channel, probably ten times what I’d ever Not only that, but also sound quality is worse. As everything measured parameter that makes an amp a good ... | |
| CEC CD3100 CD player tray belt, puzzled indeed! Pity you cut the belt, I've great success with stretched belts by shrinking them. Boiling hot water for 5mins then quickly throwing them into ice water.Cheers George | |
| What preamp are you using with Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP amp? That link is the 8ohm tap here is the 4ohm, not much better and still behaves like a tone control.https://www.stereophile.com/images/1116PLPPfig02.jpg But its sonic signature will be far from neutral, especially with lower-impedance speakers.—John... | |
| Question About Audio Research Preamp Specs dsper OP Unfortunately, they explained that there is no room under the hood to replace the existing capacitors with larger ones. This Dsper is BS sorry to say, they either don’t want to do it or have other things in mind, go to a tech that will... | |
| CD players sold in Japan can work in US with no problem? Sorry but it is well known over-voltage will damage electronics. Not in a cd player or dac, as every separate power supply block in them is regulated. The only thing is the mains transformer "if" it can't handle the extra heat, if not over spec... | |
| What was your favorite speaker at Axpona 2019 These two guys thought the Quad ESL 57’s were maybe the best they heard at the show."Josh Hill on April 16, 2019 - 4:09pmThose Quads were a wonderful surprise! A friend and I were marveling that a pair of 61-year-old speakers were making the best ... | |
| What preamp are you using with Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP amp? Just to give you an idea, what the Kantor simulated speaker load is and how it measures here it is, notice the impedance dips at 200hz and 4.5khz. And peaks at 65hz 1.5khz and 10khz Then look at the frequency response (black wavy line) of the Prim... | |
| Super tweeters, are they worthwile? plga OP I use a pair of these passively (18db) crossed over from 10khz up on my Martin Logan Monolith III's, even though the ML's have the latest panels and have incredible highs, the Plasma tweeters are so much better, the highs dance in front... | |
| What preamp are you using with Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP amp? arch2 OP The "black wavy" line is how this amp behaves (frequency response) into a not too severe Kantor simulated speaker load. As you can see it’s got plus and minus 7db peaks and dips, you need to "counter" this if you wish to have nice flat fr... | |
| Power Amp advice markainsworth OP Noticed no one yet has put up the impedance V -phase angle graph, on these Maggie’s. It shows that they are a relatively benign 4-6ohm load for any amp from the bass up to around 4khz, then things change for the worse, with the co... | |
| What’s the Right Power Amp Ratio For Bi-Amping? One advantage of a vertical configuration is minimization of sonic effects that may result from inter-channel crosstalk within each amp, since both channels would be processing the same signal. Hi Al, just to add, the biggest advantage of vertica... | |
| The new Schiit Aegir Amplifier now shipping Just realized that link of the Sumo Nine is no good, try this.https://elektrotanya.com/PREVIEWS/63463243/23432455/egyeb/sumo_nine-plus_sch.pdf_1.pngCheers George | |
| The new Schiit Aegir Amplifier now shipping Wasn’t Sumo James Bongiorno??, I loved the sound of the Sumo 9 Class-A, a very innovative circuit multiple rails and floated too, too bad he use an opamp for the input, could have been a cracker amp. file:///C:/Users/georg/Downloads/hfe_sumo_the_n... | |
| The new Schiit Aegir Amplifier now shipping George always supports manufacturers who devote their resources in product development and consumer marketing with the consumer’s pocketbook in mind (as in savings to the consumer). This in no way means I don’t support the other end also, eg: as... |
