| Shakti Stones Do they actuall work guys. "Otherwise, Google "Shakti Stone patent" for the details"I did. Look what I found:Some users report receiving threatening transmissions from the star system Alpha Proxima when Shakti's "The Stone" is used in conjunction with the Shakti "On-lines".... | |
| Bob Olhsson....now THAT'S an interesting website It sounds very interesting - thank you Soniqmike for the link. | |
| 2k$ speakers that meet my criteria? "I REALLY REALLY want to try some Hyperion speakers"Hyperionsound.com lists one dealer in Florida:Undergorund Audio3072 Carysfort LaneMargate, FL 33063Tel: (954) 917-3110 | |
| What is wrong with negative feedback? Unsound - I remember Ar_t posting on the subject of switching amps. I don't know about TacT now. At the time I bough my Icepower based amp I read opinions on Icepower and Hypex. Both configurations (Full Bridge vs Half Bridge) have good implementa... | |
| What is wrong with negative feedback? Unsound - Feedback in Icepower amps is called Multivariable because it consists of two feedbacks controling voltage and time.I suspect that feedback in class D is less evil for few reasons: Amp cannot become unstable (oscillate) since it is alread... | |
| What is wrong with negative feedback? "These amps are high damping factor which matches well to the OHMs, so I suspect there is NF applied, but not sure"Mapman - Not only NFB is applied but it is mulitiple (two) called Mulivariable Enhanced Cascade Control. It is in the Karsten Nielse... | |
| Cartridge Output Perceived loudness can be calculated ask^(1/3.5) where k is a ratio of power (or squares of voltage)in your case (0.5^2/0.3^2)^(1/3.5) =1.340.5mV will be 34% louder than 0.3mVAnother typical example 200W amp will be louder than 100W amp by (200W/1... | |
| What is wrong with negative feedback? I'm not sure if DF>100 makes much sense since inductor in series with the woofer has resistance in order of 0.08ohm.8/0.08=100 | |
| USB Cards to Replace Compact Discs? Blinjim - Exactly, we're minority here. The only reason, in my opinion they even went to SACD, HDCD and DVD-A was to introduce strong copy protection (SACD cannot be copied at all). This is understandable since making CD with royalties costs about... | |
| bananas vs spades as terminals for speaker cables Rrog - speaker wire I'm using is a little too complex to use bare. It has whole bunch of strands in individual insulations and one that has again bunch of very thin strands. I decided to uses spades. Many purists believe that adding solder introdu... | |
| What is wrong with negative feedback? Atmasphere - concept is beautiful. Tube class A balanced operation without output transformer. The only problem I can see is that this design requires a lot of tubes and each one has about 2.5A heater current - a lot of wasted power. On the other ... | |
| 'Best' CDP for under $1000 ? Upgrade to GCD-575 Mikey44 I use DVD's digital output connected to DAC. Dac can be connected do preamp (or integrated amp) or be preamp ff it has volume control (Benchmark DAC1 does). Basically it is high quality CDP in two packages. | |
| 'Best' CDP for under $1000 ? Upgrade to GCD-575 What about cheap DVD player (I use $69 Sony) and Benchmark DAC1. It makes you independent from the transport (easy to change) and allows to connect computer. Benchmark DAC1 is very hard to beat in this price range. DVD players have great tracking. | |
| What is wrong with negative feedback? Mapman - Moderation is the word. Instead of feedback or no feedback we can settle for moderate feedback. Sound coloration comes from dynamic nonlinearity of the system with the feedback. Amplifier itself is far from being first order low-pass filt... | |
| bananas vs spades as terminals for speaker cables Ryriken - Many amps don't support bananas. My old Cambridge A3i supported only spades. My current Rowland 102 (and perhaps all current Rowland amps) have Cardas style clamp - for spades only. As for the sound, if there is any difference then accor... |
