| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve This would be nice, if you could up the ante a bit more.https://www.stereophile.com/content/mark-levinson-no534-power-amplifierIf??? if you look at Class-D, something I'm not warmed to yet. I did hear one that made me take notice once, and that wa... | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve I can hear the air movement from the fan. This has pushed me away from the CA-M600 that was suggested. But, the upgrade bug has hit. Seeing you have a thing for Classe, this is what i’d like to see on them, it will control them with an iron fist,... | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve ...such as? With this kind of impedance and phase angle load graph, https://www.stereophile.com/images/616BW802fig1.jpg I would look at good quality amps with big power supplies (that means heavy), that can "almost" double their wattage from... | |
| Aurender N10 ihmeyers Aurender N10I’m considering purchasing a music server. Do you homework.I don’t know if the A10 and N10 are similar circuits in this regard if both do MQA, but it was quite disconcerting that they did this. JA Stereophile "However, the A... | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve This statement ignores the fact that loop feedback compensates for this sort of thing. This statement ignores just how much loop feedback is needed to fully compensate for this sort of thing. We all know what too much feedback has the reputat... | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve johnto For an amp that doesn’t drive the Maggie’s to well because it can’t handle a 3-4ohm load, an Autoformer would work, because it’s one of the only speakers that presents a very benign 3-4 ohm impedance load. That 8ohm peak in the graph is ... | |
| Kenwood KT-990D I've still got what’s supposed to be a mint rare Kenwood KT-3300D PPL FM only, it sounds stunning, got everything but the kitchen sink on it, but I hardly use it.https://www.hifidatabase.com/static/gallery/6/5786-ken_KT-3300D.jpgCheers George | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve My confusion stems from the fact that some posts imply that autoformers help Very simple Max.Yes they do "help" with amps that can't drive those loads. Best is to get the right amp that will drive them. Not to put a band-aid on ones that can't.... | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve 08-17-2018 11:41am@73max Your B&W 802 D3 will be better off driven by a pair of Classe Delta CAM-300 monoblock amps or the CAM-600 monoblock amps. +1 This is what I meant by the right amp 73max OPCheers george | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve 73max OP Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Just don’t get sucked into the McIntosh propaganda, or others hype here.They (autoformers) allow an amp to work with a speaker that it normally wouldn’t be a good match for. Better to rather spend t... | |
| How do autotransformers affect sound? wireless200 How do autotransformers affect sound? This was hammered out over here, have a read and draw your conclusions. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/mac-autoformers My question to you is do they sound better or worse on a good ... | |
| DAC-Preamp having these specifications? I have sent a request to benchmark about this topic. So did I yesterday, nothing back yet.Cheers George | |
| DAC-Preamp having these specifications? So the DAC3 uses method 2 This (linked) is where I believe the volume is controlled in the digital domain before d/a conversion. The other so called "hybrid" part is just an analogue gain adjusting (0db -10db -20db) on the output buffer for the m... | |
| Job amps: Suck? Job amps: Suck? I believe we, many of us tried to say that a long time ago when they first appeared and a certain someone was pushing them so hard he was about to blow his pooffoo valve.Cheers George | |
| DAC-Preamp having these specifications? BTW: Good on Benchmark for recognizing "bit stripping" even in the ESS-ES9028PRO converter and implementing an analog user changeable gain bock setting like Wadia and ML did. Bricasti did too in the M1 but you change theirs differently. https://ib... |
