| ASSEMBLED IN CHINA Tim Cook of Apple stated that we lost our manufacturing ability long time ago:“The U.S., over time, began to stop having as many vocational kind of skills,” Cook explained. “I mean, you can take every tool and die maker in the United States and pr... | |
| Can SMPS based preamps/amps sound organic ? But I can think of a reason a LPS may sound better in your home. One thing is a transformer will filter out or reduce incoming high frequency electrical noise where especially older SMPS will pass it through. Modern SMPS often contain Power Facto... | |
| Relationship of amplifier sound to transformer quality? If the transformer is not wrapped with low frequency high permeability mu metal sound quality will suffer. No two ways about it. The toxic effects of the induced magnetic field extends to everything within what, about a foot of the transformer? ... | |
| Can SMPS based preamps/amps sound organic ? Why to design complicated SMPS when the most of customers believe that it has to be big and heavy to sound good? Small and efficient bring suspicion that something (sound) has to give. In addition word "switching" suggests electrical noise. | |
| Can SMPS based preamps/amps sound organic ? Jeff Rowland uses SMPS for low noise. That’s why he uses them in applications where efficiency is non-issue, like Capri preamp. SMPS got bad rap from crude computer applications but when is done right is extremely quiet. Most of linear power suppl... | |
| Acoustic Zen +1 Sherod, I missed it. Mine is Absolute. | |
| Whats a good all around digital cable for under $250. I only need half a meter. Get >1.5m or <1ft (I can explain why). It applies only to coax. It is a system thing - a cable that sounds great in one system might sound bad in another (characteristic impedance mismatch and/or electrical noise induced jitter). Cable ... | |
| Audio Show - Best Sound comments So, I think, you definitely get what you hear... but the price tag will influence you more... and most think, getting a good price for something will increase its - non-existing - "qualities" When you audition the gear you try to find shortcomi... | |
| End of the line products. Hyperion Sound HPS-938 speakers. There are a lot of better speakers, I'm sure, but Hyperions midrange is to die for. They are also warm sounding with perfectly integrated tweeter. Unfortunately company went out of business for the lack of marke... | |
| Subwoofer Wolf_garcia, I agree, there is not much activity at 30Hz. Another story is frequency response in the room. My room amplifies about 30-35Hz extending response a bit, but extension is less important to me, than quality of the bass. My speakers... | |
| More resistance is less load?? With common 60V transistors (like 2N3055) highest supply would be +/-30V making maximum RMS power with 16ohm speaker only 28W. | |
| More resistance is less load?? A long time ago amplifiers had a great deal of trouble dealing with low impedances and high power. I’m not sure why. Output transformer can be designed for any load. Perhaps higher impedance speakers had less distortion? Perhaps it was difficult ... | |
| More resistance is less load?? AFAIK long time ago all speakers had higher impedance, mostly 16 ohm but some even 32 ohm. Linearity would be much better with underhung motors (coil within a gap) instead of commonly used overhang motor design (gap within a coil). Only few manuf... | |
| Fiio x3ii or Fiio x5ii I use it as stationary asynchronous USB DAC/Headphone amp. | |
| Fiio x3ii or Fiio x5ii Perhaps Oppo HA-2 for about the same money might be to your liking? I have it and the sound is outstanding.https://www.oppodigital.com/headphone-amplifier-ha-2/ |
