| L-505uXII v. Hegel h190 to pair with Vandy Treo CT? I’m looking into getting a Vandersteen speaker.Personally I would suggest that you would be happier if you got a pair ;) I did that back in ~ ‘84, and still have them.I found that one just didn’t image good on its own ;)I have a PrimaLuna Dialogue... | |
| High end high quality int. amp for low level listening Just to be clear, only in an 8 Ohm load does 2.83 volts = 1 watt. In a 4 Ohm load 2.83 volts = 2 watts. The OPs speakers are 86 dB SPL (2.83 V/1m) @ 4 ohm. Yeah that is correct, but we still get the +3 dB from the other side playing at the same ti... | |
| Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner @tswisla I’ll know soon…Just ordered more of a DIY set up with a multi frequency Ultrasonic tank and the Clenervinyl rotisserie.The Degritter seems more convenient, but with the other one I can do 10 at a time, so I can get through more of them.I’... | |
| Power cord supplied with Luxman L-509X Integrated Amp @thyname Well how am I to learn about them and how they work? | |
| High end high quality int. amp for low level listening Would a Lyngdorf TDAI 1120 work? | |
| Power cord supplied with Luxman L-509X Integrated Amp @cleeds you’re correct sir. | |
| Best phono stage for Lyra Etna SL cartridge? Can you external load it and tryout some various loadings?If that works you be in for ~$15-20. | |
| Power cord supplied with Luxman L-509X Integrated Amp Radio. Every wire is an antenna. Do you understand how radio works? Transformers? Same thing.There are NOT entirely the same thing…The majority of antennas are primarily designed as E-Field devices, (at least if we ignore loop antennas for trackin... | |
| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) OK - I think maybe the best near term plan is to await the AVR arrival and just try Roon on it… Then I’ll see if the 2 channel if good enough with it. | |
| Are all amps being built wrong? Speaker drivers are designed to work best when fed with a voltage source.I am only sure that this is true is the impedance is flat.Since the equation for magnetic flux is based upon current, then one could argue that it is the current that is prod... | |
| Are all amps being built wrong? If one was to use a DSP, then (I think that) all gets normalised to be right whether using a voltage or current source?Room correction in modern systems would be doing the same thing I think. | |
| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) I guess I should have expanded a bit on the baggage.The Yiggy has some historical baggage as one of the worst measuring expensive DACs when it was first introduced. That no longer seems to be the case but since it is R2R that makes it somewhat lik... | |
| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) Pure digital is totally accurate but not everyone's cup of tea. We are influenced by our past.If I can measure the output and compare it to the input and see that it more true than comparing that stream to the Vinyl, then I can convince myself.I m... | |
| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) Thanks @buddyboy1 that sounds similar to the Yggdrasil with the R2R.@jasonbourne52 what is the impedance of coax? I would think if it is 50 or 75 ohms, then the VSWR would be low?If I did the maths right then the speed-o-light/44.1kS/sec is ~6800 ... | |
| How to get into high end digital? (Feeding a DAC) Not really trying to be contentious however a cheap DAC sounds like a cheap DAC, a cheap CD player sounds like a cheap CD player, a cheap turntable sounds like a cheap turntable. Unfortunately some expensive ones do too? But not all. OK then… whic... |
