| Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker ramtubes The RM-10 is perfect for the Quads. The damping is good What is the output impedance Roger? Have you ever toyed with the idea of a variable feedback dial, as I found it very good for dialing in the tightness for different speakers with ... | |
| Tube Line Stage Preamp to Drive Class D Amp Thank you!!George that’s a great idea! Glad to be of help, they are excellent value for money, as the chassis don't cost the earth, it's what's inside that counts. And it has the goods, if it were in a "glitzy" chassis people would buy it at $... | |
| Tube Line Stage Preamp to Drive Class D Amp jbhiller Tube Line Stage Preamp to Drive Class D Amp The Nad M22 input impedance is a feeble 17kohms as are most Class-D's, be careful with tube preamps as most like much higher than that, tube preamps that have paralleled cathode follower out... | |
| Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker clio09 The main upgrade is the elimination of the solid state input (opamp) I can’t remember as I never fiddled with mine as I soon upgraded to the two+two's, but knowing the vintage, it was probably tlo72/74 about the only thing around at the t... | |
| Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker Guess who getting off on music, to his Acoustat 3’s?http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NVQujPOPx2c/TSUhBAtkNeI/AAAAAAAATmg/RIIOAT-VuFc/s1600/steve-jobs-stereo.jp...I went through nearly all the Acoustat’s, the best for me were the 2+2’s with Kef B1814 (fs1... | |
| Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker But automatic transmissions still have gears. Yes but at least with an automatic you’ll won't get: " When going up a steep hill (difficult load) the car sometimes shutters, engine knocks."Cheers George | |

| Looking for a new Dac? I’ve been reading some great reviews lately of R2R Dacs and wondering if these Dacs are more analog sounding Yes with pcm 16/44 24/96 and DXD as your source, also in punch, dynamics and boggie factor. Some can even do native DSD if your into i... | |
| Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker Roger Modjeski is offering his own ESL speaker with a dedicated, direct drive tube power amp. No ESL transformer, no power amp transformer! And no speaker cables!! One of the nicest sounding speakers I owned, absolutely hated humid days.http://... | |
| Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker An analogy might be the transmission in a car. When going up a steep hill (difficult load) we downshift to take the load off the engine but cannot go as fast. As to stability we note if we don't downshift the car sometimes shutters, engine knock... | |
| Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker I inserted the DEQX between my linestage and amp. While the tonality seemed better, my system lost a unit or two of blood (metaphorically speaking), … something went missing. The DEQX twisted the signal to be phase coherent but took something a... | |
| Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker georgehifi I totally agree with Roger’s summation for autoformers, they are an "answer looking for a problem." atmasphere I’ve examined these two statements for a while and they seem to be at odds. George, I think you missed Roger’s point. Y... | |
| MAC Autoformers? ramtubes An Autoformer or any transformer cannot fix a difficult load and only affects stability in a poorly designed, on the edge amplifier. What I’ve been saying all along, they are a band-aid fix for amplifiers that are "not capable" of doing... | |
| MAC Autoformers? I can't be certain but I have owned my Lightspeed for around 9 or 10 years.Wow I think your right, the MkII, was released around 2006 when all MkI's were recalled and converted. I think it's time for a MkIII, what do you think Anthony? Upset the... | |
| Looking for ideas - new mono blocks for stereo music The primary focus is detail and resolution as I really love hearing new aspects of CDs that previous equipment couldn’t reveal.Soundstage and instrument placement are also high on the list. Bass slam / impact is not really a priority since I am s... |
