| cable break in A 'good' answer is in the mind of the beholder.I suspect there's no difference in conductivity after conditioning. What gets conditioned, mostly, is the insulation.. | |
| Should this forum have a warning label? And what would you have the disclaimer contain?. | |
| Best speakers for Classical music under 10k used Quad 989s. Magnificent.. | |
| WBT vs Eichmann Grisslehamn, 'hi-fi+' magazine in issue 37 compared the copper WBT nextgens with the Eichmann Silver Bullets and a Neutrik RCA. They thought the WBT was better overall and not by a small margin. Too bad the WBT nextgen silvers are so expensive.. | |
| C J Premiere 11A versus Music Reference RM200 A wise decision IMO, George. I sure had the hots for a pair of QS V4s while I was waiting for my Eminent Tech. 8s. The 8s are even-less sensitive than my Quad 989s, and I suspected...wanted?...them to require more power than my much-loved ASL Expl... | |
| DVD-A vs. SACD Dnew--first, I must state that I LOVE classical music and especially recorded multichannelly. Played thru a Denon 2900, SACD and DVD-A sound the same to me (but I'm no GEA) but for one difference--many SACDs have a significantly higher noise floor... | |
| A Good Classical SACD / DVD-A Well, Week, I too LOVE multichannel classical recordings. I've loved classical and large-scale film music for about 35 years now. I'm an unabashed Romantic whose favorite composer is indeed Mahler, with guys like Rachmaninoff, Tchaikovsky, and Ric... | |
| What's a Triode configuration? Thx, Doc. Obviously didn't think about THAT one!. | |
| Bi-wire options In #1 and #2, if you attach all cable terminals to the speaker's upper OR lower binding posts, it's not biwiring.#3. Seems to me this reduces the very benefits of biwiring, by recombining a portion of the cable together at the speaker end. #4. Aga... | |
| What's a Triode configuration? "...what makes a Triode configuration different from say a Pentode?"Tiodes and pentodes are different kinds of vacuum tubes. A triode has 3 active parts, a pentode 6. A pentode has more voltage gain than a triode, but, GENERALLY, triodes sound bet... | |
| C J Premiere 11A versus Music Reference RM200 The Eleven-A should do very well at driving your 4-Ohm speaker unless it is short on power in the larger room. The Eleven can be wired for full power into 2, 4, 8, or 16 Ohms and comes from the factory wired for 4. The RM-200 is a fine-sounding am... | |
| What's a Triode configuration? Hmm...in 25 years in this insane obsession...er...crazy hobby, I've seen only one tubed preamp, NOT an ARC, with a pentode in it. Said another way, ALL active tubes in ALL tubed preamps (but this one) were all triodes. I wonder why your suggestist... | |
| Watts vs input sensitivity __2 Different size Amps Jasljis: "...need a little more power without having the attenuator pot all the way turned up."The higher-power amp will NOT help if that's your 'problem', and, frankly, I don't perceive it as a problem, but it's not my system. :-)If you want more... | |
| Watts vs input sensitivity __2 Different size Amps Sogood51: "I'm sure you know that the lesser power amp is the limiting factor.That's true only if one generally drives the 100Watt amp so hard it clips OFTEN. If the 2 amps are driven so that the lower-power amp clips only occassionaly, the lower-... | |
| Watts vs input sensitivity __2 Different size Amps And Jtinn, too, strikes out! :-)The 200Watt amp has 3dB more power than the 100Watt amp. 1.3V. is 2.72dB higher than 0.95V., VERY close to 3dB different. Therefore, the 200Watt amp will produce almost exactly 100 Watts with an input of 0.95V.Of co... |
