| Power matching while bi-amping What you need to be able do to is to decrease the level of the amp with the higher gain so that the level of the 'bottom' matches the level of the 'top'. You mentioned nothing about active filtering, so you'll be using the speaker's crossover whic... | |
| Bi Amp SEARCH, Coco, Search. You'll learn a lot. This gets asked about weekly.. | |
| How to bias output tubes on Golden Tube SE 40 Contact Jeff Glowacki of Sonic Craft; he rebuilds them. 940/689-9800.. | |
| preamp vs pre/processor Think about buying a 6-channel preamp rather than a preamp/processor. Do you have DVD and CD players now? Do the D-to-A conversions (and in the case of DVD, the distance and level adjustments) in the players (or outboard DACs) and just plug 'em in... | |
| Biamping Triode Tubes No Feedback With Solid State I agree with Matrix's point that biamping with passive crossovers and 2 different kinds of amps is difficult.I disgree that one needs--or even that it's a good idea--to strip all passive 'crossover' components when actively biamping. Doing so with... | |
| Major help needed in Input and output impeadance.. Matrix, the 1:20 ratio is just a rule of thumb, and I suppose there are almost as many systems with ratios under that number that operate and sound great as there are as systems with ratios over that number that don't operate perfectly and don't s... | |
| Major help needed in Input and output impeadance.. Voltage-gain/sensitivity issues are different than impedance 'matching'. The rule of thumb on output/input impedances, the original issue, is 1:20. The 'rule' indicates that if the 2 impedances are at a ratio of at least 1:20, the preamp will be a... | |
| Biamping Triode Tubes No Feedback With Solid State I wouldn't even THINK about it until I found a speaker I absolutely loved AND an intergrated amp I absolutely loved, both of which I wanted to make a little better. IMO, the only situation in which biamping is easy is when you're using 2 identical... | |
| Biamping Triode Tubes No Feedback With Solid State Using the integrated amp (IA) for 2 channels of power and a SS poweramp for the other 2 channels sounds plenty OK. But depending on how the speakers are crossed and how much tubed power you buy, you might not have enough tubed power.Two-way speake... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Pat, but obviously he was a VERY special person. My thoughts and prayers now go to Barb and the rest of his family.He will rest in peace.. | |
| Anybody own Audio Experience Symphonies? M, the sound of your Symphonies preamp can be improved substantially with the replacement of 3 pairs of coupling caps and 3 PS 'lytics with Solen/SoniCap 'propylenes. I've done this to 2 and a fellow 'goNist did his. The other fellow said it impro... | |
| Question about sound below an amps frequency specs I believe that few amplifiers intentionally limit frequency response anywhere near the audible range. A rule of thumb I heard years ago was that any high-pass filter had to be at least 2 octaves below the lowest point one wants to be audible. If o... | |
| My oh my....guys check this out Insane? I think not! How many of you have spent $5 to $10K for anything in your audio system? LOTS of us, I'd guess. I heard this thing in Denver, and FINALLY I'm justified in using the superlatives others toss about to describe, say, differences ... | |
| Best sounding SACD disc? 'The Film Misic of Jerry Goldsmith', Telarc SACD-60433. Goldsmith conducts the LSO in lots of his film GREAT music. This a spectacularly NATURAL-sounding recording, done in EMI's large Abbey Rd. studio. BIG bassdrums, GLORIOUS horns, big orchestra... | |
