| Hum on Tube Amp - Can't find source If nothing is plugged in (ICs) then it would be difficult to get a loop, so difficult to get a ground loop. A DC bias on the AC line, usually comes across as transformer hum. I ‘m not sure how it would come out of the speakers though. | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience Dear @holmz : What Dover posted. You can read the link rigth from the Ortofon cartridge/SUT specs and then the measured square wave. R. it would have been handy to have a physical triangular wave - cut into the track… and then everyone w... | |
| Anyone prefer horizontal bi-amping their monos? @re-lar-kvothe thanks for sharing the diagram. Clears up any confusion. "A picture is worth a thousand words" No so fast… that is two stereo amps. The OP has 4 mono amps, so some mention needs to take place that the amps are split down the m... | |
| Vandersteen VLR (non CT), my opinion @tomic601 the they I was refering to where the Thompson subs. “They” as in a corporation. Nice humour JT… that was very well done. ~Holmz Pronouns: Was/Were (Corporations are afforded legal protection like people, but I refuse to call a corpor... | |
| Vandersteen Forum gdnrbob +1 FWIW I didn't notice that the forum was for Vandersteen owners only! Helping with personal invite from Bob, was sort of gentlemanly. And Bob’s reaching out was in an honest spirit. There is a bit of bias against Class-D (if you se... | |
| Anyone prefer horizontal bi-amping their monos? If they are stereo amps, I would vertically bi amp them personally. | |
| Vandersteen VLR (non CT), my opinion Yeah Bob, but they were like $20k … 😶 | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience I am trying to figure out: whether they generated a square wave with the same output impedance as the cart and fed the SUT with that. Or if they had a test LP with a square wave and then if it is a test LP is that square wave a triangular sha... | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience …I don’t get too bogged down in such a presentation… I like to get bogged down. What does an electrical square wave look like on an LP in the groove? I am assuming it looks like a triangular wave track that they stylus is following? | |
| Anyone prefer horizontal bi-amping their monos? You sure got me a scratchin’ my head with your question. The question is also stretching my imagination yoga style. Do you mean running both woofers off of one mono amp and the higher bi wire terminals off the other amp? You are going to need... | |
| Integrated amp temperature 1000w like 1-1/3 horse power. Are you sure it is that high? Most are class-AB, or tubes. Do you leave you car idling in the driveway? People talk about the sound being better, but just turn it on and putz around for a few minutes. If it is 1000W... | |
| Anyone prefer horizontal bi-amping their monos? I think many people run a mono for each speaker. If nothing else you end up getting a short speaker cable. And I suppose save some rack space if one can hid them behind the speaker. And also those cable lifters go out the door when the speaker ca... | |
| Vandersteen VLR (non CT), my opinion Thanks @gdnrbob. The ASR review also noted that they we better on-axis. And the low bass that they noted is also likely helped with them in the corners. Fortunately Amis showed a step function response there, which was as expected from a good des... | |
| Anyone prefer horizontal bi-amping their monos? What do you mean? Two monos per side into biwired speakers? or is a mono a speaker? | |
| SUT - electrical theory and practical experience phoenixengr Flattest frequency response or best square wave ? Are these codependent ? With Jensen SUT's that are designed to be used with a zobel network they suggest adjusting the network to the source load by scoping a square wave @dov... |
