| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? More than a few people over the years on these pages have said only those SS amps which double down in output power as impedance drops are truly special or worthy amps. Eg., 200 @ 8ohms; 400 @ 4 ohms; 800 @ 2 ohms; etc. To put it more simply:No a... | |
| My apologies_Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7's? my only reservation about this amp would be its low input impedance (spec’d at 10K/20K unbalanced/balanced Power: 333.3W @ 8 ohms, 499.4W @ 4 ohms As Al posted, this H30 input impedance will make for a hard impedance match with tube, TVC or pass... | |
| My apologies_Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7's? Tested H30." Not only is 350Wpc a hefty output power, the H30 meets the challenge of driving current-hungry loudspeakers by nearly doubling its 8-ohm-rated output power when driving 4 ohms (675Wpc into 4 ohms)."Good choice, now you will hear the W... | |
| The Levinson Sound? 333jeffery The Levinson Soud? Great sounds, from old and new still, I still respect them. They haven't sold out to Class-D like Rowland Research did, and lost a lot of audiophiles respect because of it.Cheers George | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions Actually George, as you read the thread further you could/should deduce your statement is not true. No, if you read my last post, what I was getting at, is that, no one would start a thread with these posts if they were "shilling for Schiit", as ... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions I’ve come to think you’d simply prefer to talk about Schitt. Bit hard there ptss, if you read his first post, he couldn't get a better sound from it than the Oppo UDP-205 for quite a while.Cheers George | |
| Can't we all just get along? Cheers Eddy, always the straight shooting diplomat, some here don't like it, as it ruffles their feathers.Cheers George | |
| Can't we all just get along? Hi crazyeddy, all you do is hover your mouse at the bottom right corner of your last post, and a report this will pop up, click on it and let them know your the OP (original poster) and you wish to have the whole thread moved to "Misc Audio"Than... | |
| Can't we all just get along? crazyeddy OP Hi, why did you start this in the "Tech Forum" there's not one iota of tech info being talked about, it's over ridding good tech talk, do us a favour and ask the mods to move it to "Misc Audio".Cheers George | |
| My apologies_Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7's? Here is how the Boulder amp behaves into the simulated easy NHT load, note the grey scale is almost the same as the pure resistive ones. This is how an amp should behave into the NHT’s easy simulated load. Yes it will be a little worse into the WP... | |
| Xlr to rca ryedady You need this sort of thinghttps://www.jaycar.com.au/3-pin-xlr-type-to-rca-adaptor/p/PA3800 or https://www.jaycar.com.au/3-pin-xlr-type-to-rca-adaptors/p/PA3802 Cheers George | |
| My apologies_Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7's? Ok here is the (misprint 8) 4ohm tap (gray) into the easy NHT simulated load, the Wilson will be significantly worse, probably double as bad. Especially around 100hz where the 7’s are 2ohm and -40 negative phase angle, which could equate to a EPDR... | |
| My apologies_Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7's? Ken Kantor of NHT designed Stereophile’s "simulated loudspeaker load" network for them to use for their tests, as a copy of what NHT’s speakers load an amp like.This (the grey trace) is the McIntosh 275’s effective frequency response into that "si... | |
| My apologies_Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7's? To All:Audiotroy is a bad apple troll Thought there was something not quite right with the first post. Shilling for something came to mind.Cheers George | |
| NEW!!! Wilson Alexia MkII listening session Edgar Kramer was really raving about the new Bowers and Wilkins 702s2’s in his review compared to his own Wilson Alexia MKII speakers! That review was well before he got the Alexia MkII, it was the MkI (different sound) he compared the B&W to... |
