| Janszen Speakers - help I owned a pair of these back in the early 80's. They were nice speakers, though it was easy to bottom out the woofer on loud bass material.Kr4 is correct. The control adjusts the balance between the electrostat tops and the cone bottoms. As I reca... | |
| Thought on OTL tube amps Most SS amps are OTL. Transistors are intrinsically low impedance devices and most circuit topologies don't need an output transformer. Tubes are high impedance devices and most circuit topologies do require a transformer to drive low impedance sp... | |
| RE: Better...Classe CA-2200 or Levinson 333-5-6? Don't write off your Duetta Sigs so quickly. They are not nearly as tough a load as the original Apogee Full Range and Scintila, which went down to 1 ohm. The Duetta Sigs are a 3-4 ohm mostly resistive load. Lots of amps including tubes can drive ... | |
| Toasted Pre Jea48, Magfan - I concur.I like the lightning theory..... | |
| Pass Labs A/B amps vs Class A amp and Actual Power There are not "different kinds of watts" - power, measured in watts, is the product of voltage and current, period. Amps differ in their ability to deliver power across the audio frequency spectrum into loads with complex impedance.I can see Teaja... | |

| Toasted Pre I'm not sure I understand. Was the line voltage 110v or 220v? Were you using the correct step up/down transformer on the power line to which ever component didn't match the line voltage?As long as both the pre and power amp each saw their specifie... | |
| Mesa Boogie Stereo Simul-Class 295 tube amp Remember, the goal of a guitar amp is to color the sound, not to provide flat amplification. Your 295 is designed to begin clipping when driven hard. This is great for guitar, but not so good for hifi. In fact, one of the goals of the Class A sett... | |
| DVR - Is there a stand alone unit? Panasonic., Sony and Toshiba all made them a few years ago. You may be able to find one on eBay or Videogon. Of course, they will only have analog tuners. This will be OK for most cable use but will be a problem if you want to record over-the-air. | |
| Why aren't all CD players also DAC's? I can think of two reasons. First is cost for extra jacks and associated real estate on the chassis. There is also a downside in that the cable used to connect the transport section to the DAC section becomes a huge issue (check out threads here o... | |
| Cloning Class A Classics Continued.. I believe Nakamichi licensed Stasis technology from Pass. | |
| Laser Disc movies played on Sony XBR Flat sreen?? Unfortunately, most of the machines that have noise reduction (CLD-99 included) first do Y/C separation, apply noise reduction, then generate a new composite signal by recombining the Y and C signals. You might as well use the S-Video out and save... | |
| Laser Disc movies played on Sony XBR Flat sreen?? As long as you have a composite video input on the XBR you're in business. An S-Video input will also work if your LD player has an S-video out.I have a CLD-99 hooked up to a Pioneer 6010 via an S-video connection and it works just fine. The TV wi... | |
| Speed Stability Nakamichi built a couple of very complex turntables (TX-1000 and Dragon} back in the early 80's that centered the record to correct for off-center spindle holes. |
