| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers I do not manufacture amps that may or may not need the Zero in circuit, so there are no ulterior motives for me to hide or protect. I just don't like to see blanket statements like the Zero will improve all amplifiers regardless of topology. They ... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers 03-27-14: Atmasphere: do so despite George's remonstrationsAre you kidding, far from pleading with you Ralph. I agree that an Autoformer is a great (pseudo) bandaid fix for whatever amp that cannot drive a speaker that is not a good match, because... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers 03-26-14: AtmasphereThis can be so significant that the use of an autoformer to raise the load impedance to an otherwise very capable solid state amplifier can result in improved sound. Were this not the case, the insertion of the autoformer would... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers 03-21-14: Atmasphere:George, you are a troll. Your comments are unwarranted, without merit and uncalled for. There is only one reason for you calling me a troll, that is you have to stick up for the Zero Transformers, because they are the only way... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Ralph: why not just put some output transformers on your OTL's so they can drive these types of loads then, instead of this band aid fix of the Zero's Or the owner can do one of two things to fix the problem.1: Is to get the right amp to drive sai... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Atmasphere: George, take a take a look at the links on this page:I have Ralph, and I stand by what I said, I have even put them on my system which definitely doesn't need them, and the sound took a big step backward. They are sometimes a "recommen... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers 03-17-14: Unsound: Once again I disagree with Atmasphere's oft-repeated assertionAgreed, I have yet to listen to a Zero Autoformer that has worked without causing other problems.A simple way to hear what they do wrong, is to put one between an amp... | |
| How do I hook uo headphones to my system? PS: and there are many cheaper version of the Decware on ebay, but Decware are usually very good quality. Cheers George | |
| How do I hook uo headphones to my system? 03-13-14: AlmargGeorge, note that he has three sources, not just a CD player. The model numbers are indicated in his system description.Well if that the case he could use one of these after the CDP and put his sources into it as well and headphone... | |
| How do I hook uo headphones to my system? Zavato hi, you could run you headphones direct of the output rca's of your CD player if the volume is the right level or you may have level control in the player and the cd player has a good output stage. Which cd player do you have and i see for ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Dhcod hi, I had a bit of a search and yes your Purest Audio cables are very good low capacitance ones. They are fine to use with many tube and most passive preamps, and will not cause early (into the audio band) high frequency roll off. I would ke... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers The ML Arias dip to between 3ohm and below 2ohm between 10khz and 20khz with a not so easy phase angle of -35degrees.This says to me you'll need an amp that is happy driving a moderately hard load. If the amp cannot handle that load happily, it ma... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Yes this what good interconnects should be, as little as possible capacitance.Otherwise if over 300pf total for a 1mt length, they will start to create 1st order (gradual) HF (high frequency) roll-off's into the audio band when combined with nearl... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Audiolabyrinth: Thanks for the invite, but cables and how they sound are such a subjective thing, and very system dependant.All I say that for all passives and high output impedance tube preamps, one should make sure that the capacitance of the ca... | |
| Subwoofer connectivity question Hi B Limo, your dac is fine with a low output impedance your Prima Luna is fine with a nice high input impedance.To see if the sub will match ok I need to know what it is and if you have a link to the specs.Cheers George |
