| Is my amp "High Current"? Nsgarch, this discussion is getting nowhere precisely for the reason that you think that my understanding of power etc. is faulty, when in fact I can say the same for your understanding.I guess my fault is in trying to explain in layman's terms wh... | |
| Is my amp "High Current"? Nsgarch, if a speaker needs big voltage (say 40 v) to drive it to a certain level then that is what it needs, and the subsequent power that it needs will follow if the amp can supply the current. The tube amp will give it that voltage (40V) and wh... | |
| Is my amp "High Current"? Nsgarch, itm is the speaker that 'decides' what it needs to produce sound, not the amplifier.The electroststic speaker's membrane moves in concert with the alternating Voltage with which it is charged, just as you said. And, as you said, not much ... | |
| Is my amp "High Current"? Nsgarch, I am aware that the impedence goes down with rising frequency, but that does not necessarily mean that the power requirement and hence the current demand goes up. usually, the amount of high frequencies is very low and therefore the volta... | |
| Is my amp "High Current"? Here is what is wrong, Nsgarch. Electrostatics do not demand high current, but are voltage driven. In fact, all speakers respond to the voltage applied at the terminals, depending on their sensitivities. that is why sensitivity is stated as sound ... | |
| Is my amp "High Current"? Mechans, confusing volts with amps and also throwing lbs for good measure renders your answer less than helpful.Respectfully, Bob p. | |
| Reference level playback Acoustat6, of course my idea has merit, otherwise I wouldn't do it! All said with 'tongue firmly planted in cheek', of course.Salut, Bob P. | |
| Reference level playback Acoustat6, I never thought that you were obsessive compulsive. It is not as difficult as you think to mark every LP on first listening. I simply put the record on and look for the loud passages (you can see them on the record) play them to show ab... | |
| Reference level playback For the last 40 yrs I have marked my LPs with the optimum listening indications for my pre-amp to give 90db peaks (almost exclusively classical music) at my listening position. The settings on the pre-amp vary greatly in about a 10db range from di... | |
| Wherefore Belt Drive? Johnnyb53, good point, except that you mean 'the source of noise or distortion (speed variation being distortion producing)'. BTW, I agree with your contention that the isolating suspension probably had more to do with the improve sound than the b... | |
| Wherefore Belt Drive? He was also into the source being the most important. But if he really felt that way, why didn't he build phono cartridges? | |
| MultiChannel too complicated for most... In fact, well done pseudo MC (derived rear channels, ala Hafler) with good amplification and speakers, is very convincing for classical music and especially 'real' sounding on organ music.My venerable Lafayette 4-ch decoder (SQ and derived) is the... |
