| Schiit CD Transport on the way soon. Any of you Yanks got any more info on the Schiit Urd progress, or anything else about it??Cheers George | |
| Holo Audio May DAC May absolutely trounced the Direct Stream in almost every way. Frankly I was shocked at the magnitude of the change. I initially purchased the May just to check it out knowing the demand was high I could easily sell after re-affirming the Direct ... | |
| Bi amp and bias issue Here is why, for the 1ohm resistor to create even the slightest HF filter in the highs on these Maggies. The Maggie’s panel themselves would have to have a parallel capacitance from pos to ground as seen by the 1ohm resistor of 10uF or higher whic... | |
| Bi amp and bias issue Add a resistor if needed, but adding resistance will be detrimental to the high frequency response. I like accuracy Sorry, no it won't.Cheers George | |
| Bi amp and bias issue I don’t agree George, keep all resistances to a minimum. That’s your prerogative,Yes (min resistance) that is normally the way for full range, and when the bass is involved, for better damping factor. But because it’s just the mids and treble, it ... | |
| Bi amp and bias issue For bass ok use active xovers, but mids and highs to me are always more natural sounding using good quality passive xovers no matter what active xover were used. So as I said in my last post just use the 20w 1ohm resistor and your triode mode tube... | |
| Bi amp and bias issue I tried using stock crossover using krell for bass and rogue for mid and tweeter and it works but only when i use triode mode on rogue if i switch to ultra linear when I try to bias the meter on rogue oscillates. If this diagram is correct, there ... | |
| Looking for preamp which is good at BOTH single-ended AND balanced output ccheung Looking for preamp which is good at BOTH single-ended AND balanced output No voodoo here it all comes down to the design.First one must ask the manufacturer, is their preamp circuit a "single ended design" with single ended rca output, bu... | |
| CD v Streamed Suum cuique. No not really, it’s a measured fact.Cheers George | |
| Class D amps that are superior to all or most? I don't like leaving my amps on 24/7, does anyone do that when you're out of town? Don't listen to them if they do🤦♂️.Just turn on your amps a 1/2hr before listening. It's also good for the capacitators conditioning, to turn the amps off as th... | |
| CD v Streamed If ones wants to almost mimic vinyl using cd, just put a 1kohm resistor across left and right channels of the cd/dac output. This ruins the channel separation from 120db, down to about 30db right across the board (should be worse in the highs and ... | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? Sorry but you two have much to learn.You can’t fathom it for yourselves, you just mimic what your been told by who’s selling them to you.That’s enough . | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? Do you think that’s all it is, driving a dummy load resistor? you have a lot to learn. And a non bridged amp will drive a 2-4ohm load better than the same amp bridged if you’d like to know.Don’t you guys think a designer like Nelson Pass would hav... | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? You need to educate more, https://ibb.co/x5CGWHQBetter still find "just one amp designer" that doesn't bridge amplifiers to sell. To back bridging to have the same quality measured specs as the same amp non-bridged, into todays high end quite hard... | |
| Pass X150.5 or Odyssey Stratos monos? Can't take the truth?, then don't try to justify falsehoods. |
