| Preamp Caps?Auricap,Mundorf, Hovland, jensen,solen Under, YW. What cap value is there now? Is there a grounding resistor following the cap? What value? What's the input impedance of the poweramp you're driving?I love your "...there is always more right." You are SO correct! This is definitely NOT ... | |
| Preamp Caps?Auricap,Mundorf, Hovland, jensen,solen I've used Mundorf Supreme S/Os as couplers in a couple pieces of equipment. Altho I'm no GEA who can hear all kinds of subtle differences, I found the MSS/Os to be rather clean and detailed (but never edgy) yet a tad warm sounding. You may well lo... | |
| sivler interconnect I and lots of others disagree heartily with Mrtennis's characterisation of silver-conductor cable (SCC). While the sound of SCC is as variable as many cables made of copper conductors, in fact, other factors being equal, silver is a slightly super... | |
| Future of DSD in Blu Ray era I believe that Sony's DSD will continue to be used for audio-only recordings, especially multichannel ones, and that SACDs will become a niche (hi-rez-digital) product, just as LPs are a hi-res-analogue source but still somewhat of a niche product.. | |
| A CD that is Multichannel El, are you using some sort of signal processing? CDs really have just TWO channels. Maybe your processor is making more than what's there?. | |
| A CD that is Multichannel Dolby Surround is 2-channel, with some rear-hall ambient information mixed in the 2 front channels, reverse-phased. The DS decoder senses the out-of-phase info and sends it to the mono surround channel usually played by 2 channels of amps and spea... | |
| Phoenix, AZ A SATURDAY meeting!!! This Saturday the 22nd, join us to listen to preamps, from 2 - 5pm. We'll be comparing an Audio Research Reference 3, an H-CAT P-12B, a BAT VK50SE, and a conrad-johnson MET1, their new 6-channel model. We'll have a great-soun... | |
| Best Five Demo Pieces for your System Hi Doug. Remember this used-to-be-fellow-ET8 owner from the Planar Speaker Asylum? I still have and love mine; see my system.I have one track that I always use to evaluate audio systems. It's Classical, but it's short so you can probably stand it.... | |
| Amps, Cables and Current: A Question 1. The powersupply capacitors discharge. It's called 'peak' because that high current draw can occur for only fractions of a second before the caps are 'empty'.2. Current delivery is related directly to Voltage and inversely to impedance driven. 1... | |
| Tube Home Theater PreAmp? Flrnlamb: "My experience with the likes of the Fosgate, is compromised overall extremes. Also, no DD/DTS processing. This is a dynamic compromise to say the least, as you must process DD/DTS from your dvd player! This is not ideal, at all!!!"Not i... | |
| ASL MG OTL 32 DT Build quality and reliability of ASL products are both up over the last few years. I have 4 ASL amps, all purchased new and DT versions, that have been 100% reliable. Others have noted the same here. Don't be afraid to buy new, DT-imported ASL pro... | |
| HT, WHAT'S BETTER 2 CHANNEL + 3 OR ONE 5 CH I've built my multichannel-audio/video system around a 2-channel system. I use tubed monoamps (ASL Hurricanes in triode) for the L- and R-front speakers and a 7-channel Outlaw 770 for everything else. That 'everything' includes 2 channels for the ... | |
| Silver vs Copper cables I use solid-silver-conductor cables for both IC and speaker. I compared the silver IC with 2 hi-end copper-conductor cables and the silver won*. I use HomeGrown Audio's IC-4 with either WBT nextgen silver or HG's silver-plated RCAs. At $11 - $12/f... | |
| Cary SLP-98 -- Do Oil Caps make a Difference? I recommend the SoniCap Platinum, a teflon-alloy tin-foil-and-film cap. It's very detailed, clean, smooth, and tonally neutral, perhaps as good as money can buy, and they're less expensive than the V-Cap TFTFs. Another cap VERY close to the SCP is... | |
| 1st order crossover? Hi-pass and lo-pass filter points of 1000 and 2000Hz, respectively, make NO sense for a midrange dome. Maybe they're 100 and 2000?. |
