| Who will survive? One last table til I die. I think I'm going to hit myself in the head with a hammer..."OTLLets look at the Transcendent T8 as an example. It uses 8, EL509 tubes in push-pull. Each 509 has a plate impedance of about 150 ohms. 150 ÷8 = 18.75 ohms. This is unacceptable. Nega... | |
| How Good Can Digital Get? Lazurus,"...the surface noise of vinyl obscures the details of a recording..."I looked at your system post. Do you use a record cleaning machine like vpi? While it will not remove scratches, it virtually elimnates surface noise. | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. I hope this puts an end to this discussion. "...Gregadd,this is not how it measure it is that any one can hear that big mistakes. The output impedance in the tubes amplifiers, usually, goes from 0.5 to 3 OHms ( high one ) and the output impedance ... | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. If you want to know what kind of frequency reponse your system is getting into your room you will need a spectrum analyzer. If you are getting on in years, you should also have you ears tested(you could be surprised just by taking the sterophile t... | |
| How Good Can Digital Get? Harry Pearson, former publisher of the absolute sound claims we lost a whole generation of music to digital. Digital suffers from a problem vinyl never did. You can make the best record you like and it will still be compatible. A small company lik... | |
| Tube magic in solid state? NO. IF YOU THINK YOU ARE ADDICTED NOW. WAIT TO YOU HEAR AN OTL LIKE ATMA SPHERE. IT'S LIKE MOVING FROM POWDER COCAINE TO "CRACK."ADD TO THAT A MOVING COIL CARTRIDGE LIKE KOETSU AND YOU'LL TURN IN YOUR 401K. WELCOME TO OUR WORLD. | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. Perhaps we can talk some time about the real weakness of tubes. Diminshed performance at the frquency extremes. Less than optimum perfomance when it comes to transient attack. See, the absolute sound issue 147 "tubes vs transistors" Can you get tr... | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. "The ideal amplifier's mission is to work as a perfect voltage source, regardless of the load impedance presented at its output terminals"..."Tubes are voltage devices, whereas transistors are current devices." Is this an inadvertent mistake or a ... | |
| what is star grounding? Okay I found it. I'll give it one more try. Aiken amps appears to be a DIY site that gives out all kinds of lay explanations for amplifiers.See,http://aikenamps.com/StarGround.htmlI just logged on to the site. If that is still wrong I saved the ar... | |
| Speakers for vocalists For the ultimate in vocals-electrostatics and tubes.Add a subwoofer to get all the fundamentals. | |
| what is star grounding? Sorry. I don't know aht happened. I can't access it either. I checked it just before posting it. I typed in star ground in my browser and it came up. | |
| what is star grounding? See, http:/www.aikensamps.StarGround.html. Usually means all grouds to a central point. | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. Raul, I wasn't going to say this, but I do have to respond to your statemnt "I have a lot to learn." Truth is I tracked the rise of the high end over the last thiry years. All these arguments have been made already. While it makes for fun discussi... | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. Raul, If I could listen to 20-30 hours of live music per month I'd sell my stereo and move on.I enjoy the music and my sytem.your freind gregadd. | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. Suttlaw: you might want to consider the Aerial SW-12. |
