| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions Guess what? BNC did not top the list. For 75ohm SPIDF connection BNC is the best.Cheers George | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions gdhal Baring false advertisement, why would RCA not be 75 ohm You have to do your homework gdhal, bnc is true 75ohm, rca is too variable and is not. That's why on highend like Wadia and ML dac/cdp's they gave you bnc but even these can be 75... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Just found a new cheap well made linear 12vdc power supply for you guys to power your Lightspeed Attenuators with. just make sure you tell him the mains voltage in your country.It’s $58aud, this equates to around $45usd. It has the right voltage 1... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions Sorry I find the opposite. That dacs make a bigger difference than what transports do, when reading CD's and using spdif proper 75ohm BNC connected coax, as RCA are not 75ohm. But using AT&T GLASS optical link (especially with indexing fluid) ... | |
| Hypex N core module I would consider almost any Pass class A/B amp to be beyond 'good' and suggest you were comparing a possibly good class D amp or amps to 'one of the best' class A/B amps available. I think a more worthwhile comparison for you would be betw... | |
| DACs and bass response? Take a deep breath Stuart away from this, and smell the roses. and come back in a few days.Cheers George | |
| DACs and bass response? stuartk DACs and bass response? Aqua La Voce The Aqua La Voce uses the R2R Multibit PCM1704, a killer D/A converter especially in the bass. Used by Naim555, LinnCD12, ML39 ect all which have killer bass. The La Voce I/V stage after the 1704 sho... | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 including the ability to keep up with the advances as quickly as they come on the market. This holds true for solid state, but for tubes especially push/pull triode, pentode, tetrodoe, and ultra linear. These are and still are based on the Will... | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 Have recently tried a Nord class D amp and did not find it in the same league as class A amplifiers. +1 on that, listened to many "good" ones now that owners say are good, but they still don't cut the mustard.Cheers George | |
| 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 imgoodwithtools 20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017 The now "40 YEARS OLD" John Curl designed Mark Levinson ML-2 Monoblocks in good condition, will blow away most of today's Tube,Class-D and even most Solid State amps. At only!!! 25w Pur... | |
| DACs and bass response? stuartk OP158 postsgeorgehifi: forgive my ignorance, but would installing such a cap likely void warrantee? Also, is this something I could purchase from say, parts conneXion? Briefly, what is involved in installation? Thanks. Hi Stuart, if you n... | |
| DACs and bass response? If its 1uFd or more, this should be sufficient for most preamp and amp loads to deliver bass. No bass roll-off will occur. Your assuming it's 1uf if it is (and it's plastic looking at the net pics) and it's look at maybe a class-D which many ... | |
| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? If so, is there anything that can/should be done from a practical perspective to prolong the longevity of a class A amp?Thanks. Keep them biased right, Pass recommends palm hand test on the hottest part of the heatsinks being able to keep them pr... | |
| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? I’m also not convinced that the drawbacks of feedback are so bad it should be completely avoided. A little story about feedback.An output transformer "GOD" wound up some very nice massive cores for a friend of mine who was his buddy cost no objec... | |
| DACs and bass response? stuartk Darko described the Aqua La Voce as "cool" but it sounded terrific in my system, except that I found its bass response severely lacking. As I mentioned in my first post, it has output coupling caps, that's why many owners on the ne... |
