| Moving the Soundstage; Help. I remember this English trick that placed the vocals behind the speakers. Back in the 70's some purposely recessed their mids in speakers a couple of dB to give the illusion of depth over their US competitors, even some Australian manufacturers us... | |
| How could 100 Watt class a has more head room than a 300 Watt amp Class AB Take this into account, at normal moderate listen levels, a pair of Mark Levinson ML2 (BJT) monoblocks are only 25w @ 8ohms, but they will out perform things like a Perreaux 3150 300w @ 8ohm (Mosfet) into hard to drive speakers, because the ML can... | |
| How could 100 Watt class a has more head room than a 300 Watt amp Class AB How could 100 Watt class a has more head room than a 300 Watt amp Class AB If one were a Mosfet output and the other a BJT (bi-polar) and both were well engineered push/pull and driving into a heavy load, such as the Wilson Alexia which has an EP... | |
| Why not batteries instead of power supplies? Wow it’s been a while, since looking at them. And you can get 48v 83 farad for a "cheap" $1,300 each you’ll need two. Great ESR as well,can you imagine the inrush current!!!!!!! No BS boutique ac voodoo fuses here, you'll need massive circuit brea... | |
| Why not batteries instead of power supplies? I'm surprised nobody has brought up or suggested supercaps. I think voltage rating is too small for them to be used as poweramp supply caps. Only 2.7v unless that's changed in the last year or so.Cheers George | |
| What exactly is colored sound? In other words - what the microphones heard is not good enough In other words your saying mega dollar recording microphones are not flat or calibrated flat?I think a lot of recording engineers would have something to say about that.Then if your s... | |
| What exactly is colored sound? tzh21y What exactly is coloured sound? Coloured sound can happen when the sound of preceding equipment is changed by the next piece of equipment, and so on and so on all the way to the speakers. Ivor Tibenbrun inventor of the Linn Sondek turnta... | |
| Why not batteries instead of power supplies? defiantboomerang Why not batteries instead of power supplies? Easy to do for preamps, phono stages, ect using single rail power supplies.But to do for poweramps with positive CT negative rails is harder, back in the 80/90’s (as you can tell by... | |
| No-one talks about Rowlands anymore I looked at the Red Dragon amp mentioned by George... It is based on a Pascal S-Pro2 module. Conversely, the Rowland Continuum S2 is powered by a Pascal M-Pro2... Yielding 400W/8Ohms and 800W/4Ohms per channel. http://discosoundequipment.sell.eve... | |
| No-one talks about Rowlands anymore This is the sort of thing that made me start to turn my nose up at Rowland.With their $10k Continuum S2 Class-D's, the amp module is a cheap Chinese $100 one, sure with a little tweaking, but Red Dragon Audio also use the same module and similar t... | |
| No-one talks about Rowlands anymore That's because to me they sold out and went head first into Class-D and lost their cred, to me anyway.Cheers George | |
| Test Equipment vs The Ear Appeal to Authority Alert! Serious listeners are far better listen to them, than listening to witch doctors, or snake oil peddlers.https://ibb.co/bwyCRG Cheers George | |
| Is it possible to connect analogue radio to oppo dart6 Is it possible to connect analogue radio to oppo Get a cheap A to D converter like the M-Audio Midiman 24bit Flying Cow. If your in Australia I’ve got a 230v one I could sell, as I don’t listen to my tuner anymore.https://www.ebay.com/sch/... | |

| Impedance Question? Why would they not use a higher value capacitor if that improves the sound and provides more pairing options? 1: Cost, the larger uF the more expensive.2: Size, the larger uF the more real-estate it takes up.3: The sound deterioration the large... |
