| Exactly where is the ''jitterclock '' located ? Both the transport and the DAC have the "clocks". | |
| Free air resonance? Going by Fs alone to predict performance will not do anything for you. Unless you're absolutely sure that the other parameters do not change, a new driver can throw off performance. The biggest change can occur if the impedance curve is different,... | |
| If Thiel, Wilson, Sonus, made active speakers????? If they'll sell, they'll make them. I think these speaker manufacturers did their homework in this regard and determined it's not in THEIR interests to pursue this product line. The last major shift the mainstream and high end audio manufacturers ... | |
| Tube amp help- You may, in all probability, have a shorted rectifier tube. I would test or swap the rectifier before anything else. If it's not the rectifier or the wrong fuse type, then you may have to have it serviced (shorted power supply cap or output transf... | |
| Connect my amp out of phase? Your preamp is of a simple design, although unconventional, not something exotic. Most amplifying devices (tubes, transistors) change the polarity of the input signal. In order to provide the correct polarity at the preamp output, another gain sta... | |
| Looking for dedicated power line advice. If you have a six-breaker panel with six 20-A breakers installed then you have no choice as to the phasing; the panel is full and you cannot - at least never attempt to - reconfigure the panel. Word of caution: overloading one phase of a 120/240 l... | |
| Help My AC line voltage is 128V Power companies deliver voltages from 114 to 126 volts, which is the accepted tolerance. The higher voltages are delivered when transmission line lossed are expected so that the customer furthest away will get 120 volts or so. Also, the utility vo... | |
| Question about Gain, amp power and volume I think you are under the impression that there is an increase in sound quality with a higher volume knob setting. Not true. Keep the playback volume level where you like it. It's determined primarily by your listening room and the distance to you... | |
| What is the difference in CD transports? A transport is no different than amps or preamps with respect to the internal circuit components - the better the quality, the better the sound. This is because preserving an audio signal is is tricky (and expensive). A transport that sounds bette... | |
| Abandonning Powered Speakers - Why? Audio is a business and the sellers know that the sickness of the audiophile is in the equipment and sound variations. An all-in-one doesn't usually fare well; whether it be powered speakers, integrated amps, or CD/Preamps. Why do you think one of... | |
| Impendance - Resistance & the story of "Z" A very simplified definition, though not technically correct, would be:Resistance: opposition to current that is constant no matter what the frequency (60 hz, 2kHz, 1MHz, etc.)Impedance: opposition to current that varies as frequency varies.A resi... | |
| Dedicated Line, Surge and Safety 10 gage is not overkill. You're house will not catch fire either by surges or because #10 wire happens to be capable of carrying extra current - the circuit breakers and the grounding system protects against that.With respect to surges: surges are... | |
| Current Trends in multi thousand dollar speakers One thing that's overlooked when analyzing speaker frequency response graphs is that they don't tell the complete story. It is assumed that a "flat" response oozes performance but that is only true in a laboratory environment. In the listening wor... | |
| Does "Non Compensated" Reviewing Still Exist? Yeah, but it's still ONE person's perception in a system and room that's very different from yours. Even if they could nail down an opinion in no-uncertain straightforward take-no-prisoners honest terms, it still won't help. You have to listen for... | |
| SET amp hum problem Best thing to do is email George Wright. He will get back to you. Before you do, there's a couple of things to try. Replace the 6SN7's with new ones. Bad driver tubes will cause hum. Check the polarity of your outlets with one of those three-light... |
