| Compare Bob Carver Black Magic 25 and Rogue Stereo 100? Easy @invalid - the OP said they did not have the opportunity to listen to either one, and to be fair I closed with… But a gun to the head would result in Rogue… or a used PrimaLuna or ARC. The main point is buying a relatively expensive amp w... | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience Am I the only one shaking my head? No @antigrunge you are not. Holmz, Make no mistake, Dave (Intact Audio) knows more about this subject by far than I ever will. So if my advice to check out the Jensen website seems counter to or only part... | |
| Compare Bob Carver Black Magic 25 and Rogue Stereo 100? Both are online so no way to audition. ^That^ says enough to know that neither will likely be a keeper. hence; I would proceed slowly. I sort of hate to mention it, but i also hate to half-a$$ a system… The earlier model AIYAMA A-07, f... | |
| Four Hour Tube Amp Warm-Up Which Prima Luna? The dialogue HP premium sitting in the rack sounds pretty good by the time the preamp is warmed up… (90 seconds.) It could also be that the dross and flotsam of/from the stress of the day take 4 hours to be washed away…? ... | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience n your most recent post, the last paragraph, is the area where this thread has caused a concern for myself, and the one that is the encouragement that has prompted me to avoid the evolving discussion. This attitude to avoid, is due to the fac... | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience I’ll “step up” 😀 and wish you “happy holidays” as well. | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience … Somewhere behind all the above that coming together in one permutation or another is Math. It is quite difficult to see where the individual place much care on the Math that is not the commonly used criteria for matching a Device to another ... | |
| Power cable dilemma How can I put this delicately (and I mean no offense)? Are you new to the audio scene? There's an immense amount of information out there on this particular subject. All you have to do is search for it. A lot of that information is largely mark... | |
| Not sure what to think or do... Did you demo the speakers or buy them based on specs or good reviews? I you did and they sounded good on whatever amp you demoed them on, I’d look at the amp. Otherwise if you didn’t hear them before purchase, speakers, including good ones, ca... | |
| Not sure what to think or do... What an asinine statement. @ozzy62 - I have not heard those speakers, but assuming that if the amp is working correctly, then maybe there is some credence to Larry’s comment ? If the OP had, or had not, heard the speakers before buying them… t... | |
| Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing My tube-pre mutes for ~90 seconds on power up and mutes, with a few seconds of delay, before powering off. The whole “leave it on” stuff is something I hear about all the time, but have never experienced as a sonic bloom of rainbows and unicorns.... | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience holmz : No problem, my mistake. R @rauliruegas When I left the TT a few weeks back, it was looking like this: So it is on the table of the operating theatre and a new bearing is en route. I was not able to find an ano... | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience Anyway, thank's for the links, very informative. We are waiting for the Holmz measures about @rauliruegas Things are moving slowly, and i am not providing evidence. I am just trying to get the loading right by using a graph, | |
| What is the most important cable in your system The cable from the Turntable to the phono preamp. @sandthemall I agree. | |
| Power cable dilemma I would try powering down and switching cables again. If there is a problem, the results should repeat. If the problem repeats, try the cable on other equipment. Then check the cable for resistance. At that point I would pull the ends and check f... |
