| Amplifier Output Relays Also, my tech found two bad solder joints and a loose wire and fixed those many months ago when I initially started having problems. When he found the relay was reacting to his tapping on it, he checked those solder joints and they were good. When... | |
| Amplifier Output Relays Yeah, according to the manufacturer, the headphones use a separate relay. His instructions are the same; tap the relay to see if the tone changes, try the headphones and try different inputs. | |
| Amplifier Output Relays I've been In contact with the manufacturer who's been nothing short of amazing since the issue started with the right channel. His comment is that the right channel issue was with the output relay. The issue with the left channel started shortly a... | |
| Amplifier Output Relays I'm assuming that once the relays are exchanged that operations will go back to normal. | |
| Amplifier Output Relays imhififan, thank you for sharing your knowledgeable insight tower I'm not sure a different relay would be applicable. AS I said, I will make mention of it but ultimately I need to follow the advise of the manufacturer. I also com to realize that ... | |
| Amplifier Output Relays As far as the Amplimo, I know this isn’t the relay that needs replacing. I can make mention of it to the manufacturer. Maybe someone could explain the Amplino loudspeaker relays? The parts are ALE2X302 output relays. | |
| Amplifier Output Relays Erik, these aren’t that old, there still being used today. Anyway, no kidding but I’ve got to convince my tech to do this at my home. The task should take ten minutes to get to but he’s saying the PCB needs to removed (it doesn’t) and this behemot... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? I used to listen to UFO with an old friend of mine but not lately. Today I listened to the David Crosby, 50th Anniversary Rhino reissue ‘If I Could Only Remember My Name’ | |
| Should We Prioritize Detail In Our Assessment Of Audio Quality? musichead, a CD is stagnant just as a photo itself is stagnant. The object a photo portrays is not stagnant. The physics of light and the spectrum of color are reproduced to realistic perception. Form and space are arranged to depict a living brea... | |
| Should We Prioritize Detail In Our Assessment Of Audio Quality? Admittedly, the above post isn’t spot on but I wanted to point out that a recording, like a photo, is merely a representation. I come back to the John Cage quote, “a recording of Beethoven’s fifth ain’t Beethoven’s fifth.” | |
| Should We Prioritize Detail In Our Assessment Of Audio Quality? An analogy to perceiving detail in a recording while being played by a stereo system; Looking at two nearly identical photos of a 1927 Bulova watch. The only difference between the two photos is that one image is sharper and clearer but the other... | |
| Should We Prioritize Detail In Our Assessment Of Audio Quality? millercarbon, I agree with your assessment that imaging is a prioritizing factor. I disagree however with the your comment stating that digital sources don't in general have more detail. Personally, I have heard digitally remastered recordings whe... | |
| Should We Prioritize Detail In Our Assessment Of Audio Quality? This topic first crossed my mind many years ago when I heard a quote from the violinist Julia Fischer stating that; digital recordings over emphasis detail while compromising musicality. I’m paraphrasing but she did have an objection. | |
| Is Pretty Good Good Enough? Listening Habits In The World Of Streaming Services. I have two DSD downloads from Native DSD and they sound amazing. II'd say, these DSD files sound better than any other source in my stereo. | |
| Is Pretty Good Good Enough? Listening Habits In The World Of Streaming Services. As far as vinyl is concerned, it’s strictly mono for me because I collect vinyl from that era. It sounds very good and I am not bothered by the limitations. Where digital is concerned, I very much prefer my local music collection to Qobuz or Tidal... |
