| Are MOSFET's voltage, not current, devices? Well, that should be enough information, mis-information, and half truths to thoroughly confuse you.What GS5556 said is right. The job of the output device is to control the amount of current through the speaker just like a water valve controls th... | |
| How to select cartridge output to match phono amp I looked their website and it says that it has both MM and MC inputs. The Sumiko Blackbird would be too much for the MC input but a good match for the MM.The circuitry in the X-LPSV3 is similar to that used in expensive electronics. The RIAA is ve... | |
| uneven depth of soundstage Nsgarch is on the right track but adding that much absorption will tend to make your room sound dead. If you treat the corners of the room with Eighth Nerve products you will hear a major change. They make the corners disappear sonically, in effe... | |
| dumb question re: headphone amps I'm afraid I would have to disagree with Audiobugged. I taught for 10 years and I heard some really stupid questions. | |
| dumb question re: headphone amps yes you do | |
| Vinyl Organization Do a search on "collection" and you will find some discussion. | |
| Gain, volume and output power It boils down to some simple math.An amplifier takes an input voltage and multiplies it. The amount the amp multiplies by is the gain. If your amp outputs 50 volts with an input of 1 volt and then the gain is 50.Vout/Vin = gain 50V/1V = 50or this ... | |
| Slew rate and rise time The term acceleration is not used correctly in Sean's analogy. The correct term would be velocity, but the analogy is still wrong. Velocity is how fast something is moving, how much distance you can travel in a given period of time. Acceleration i... | |
| Slew rate and rise time Sean, your analogies are very colorful, one might say even fiery, but I am afraid they are not exactly right. Given the fact that part of what you say is correct and some of it isn't makes it hard to follow. "Think of how fast the signal can make ... | |
| Multi-Outlet with NO Conditioning Naim makes a very nice power strip. | |
| Slew rate and rise time They are two different ways of looking at the same thing.Slew rate is a measure of how fast a signal is changing. How many volts it changes in a given period of time. Usually stated in volts per microsecond.Rise time tells you how long it takes to... | |
| New Keith Jarrett Does he moan like a wounded cow on this one? | |
| Your choice for SET amp? Yes Art, as Boa says setup is critical. They can sound really bad; bloated, harsh, disjointed, and/or bright if mated with poor equipment or improperly set up. Set them up properly in a properly treated room and mate them with good gear/cables and... | |
| Your choice for SET amp? Jeffrey, I believe if you read the post he states twice that he has Lamm ML2 power amps, about 20 watts.I've heard both (own duos) and I don't think there is any contest. Although not needed to drive them to full volume, the extra power will reall... | |
| Avantgarde Duo - position in listening room Congratulations on your new speakers, once you get them dialed in you will be very happy.These questions are easy.-do you prefer to connect speakers cables on tweeter or on sub: I am using Stereovox HDLS cables, a 3 meter run to the mid horn, then... |
