| Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass? thanks for the input @cal3713 and @auxinputFWIW, I wasn't thinking about these for powering an amp. Actually to power an audio pc or a DAC. I have a lab lps and can use a relatively inexpensive, decent looking lps if it performs well. I also ... | |

| FirstWatt J2 on its way Very glad you are enjoying the new amp.Would you mind sharing what made you decide for the J2 vs other First Watt amps? I have been looking into the J2 and SIT-2 (and also SETs, but that's a whole separate thing) | |
| Question for experienced distributed bass array users Thank you guys.@millercabon: indeed, the more the better as it smooths out frequency response better. I believe Geddes was saying that in the context of minimizing the number of subs, saying optimally placing 3 subs got you almost there (FWIW, lik... | |
| SET amplifier recommendation The B&W speakers are voiced for SS amplification and are never going to sound their best with tube amplification; possibly with the exception of a pair of Atma-Sphere OTL monoblocks.Sorry, but I disagree with this statement. I own 804S and whe... | |
| Sub to complement KEF LS50s: SVS vs. Rythmik I own two 12" sealed Rythmik and super happy with them in an all audio setup. Looking at the frequency response of LS50 it seems these start to drop right after 100Hz. Maybe a better option are Rythmik double 8" (F8??) subs that can play nicely u... | |
| Your favourite music movie? Crossroads, featuring Steve Vai playing both rivaling guitars. The Blues Brothers is a classic at home, even with my teenagers.Haven't seen Rocky Horror. Will check it out. | |
| SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers @guf Let me try and help there.One one hand different people are comfortable with different levels of SPL. My wife likes the music much lower than me in our same room, same system with same distortion.Then there is how each of us reacts to distort... | |
| Hardware/Software To Manage Multi-format, File-Based Audio Playback I used to use JRiver to excellent results. Later moved to Roon because of it integration with Tidal. Both sound excellent, can be used with a phone as remote. Roon has the added advantage of being able to stream to multiple devices on your network... | |
| why do hi-end fuses keep blowing, while std don't? Thanks for the update.So you keep you amp switch in the on position and turn on/off by turning the isolation transformer? Interesting.My balanced power conditioner trips if I do that, but will keep it in mind.Which isolation transformer are you us... | |
| Anyone heard Gobel Divin Noblesse? Thank you. The Epoque is a very different animal, with one driver covering 160Hz and up. Hence the center to center distance between woofers isn't that big of a deal. I don't doubt they are a better speaker than the Divin, though.Great to know the... | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? @audiokinesis Duke, great to see you join!Would like to ask your point of view about time alignment for subs. I run an active system with digital crossovers, time alignment, room correction. I currently have two sealed 12" Rythmiks playing summed ... | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? @rauliruegas You are really mad at Ralph. Oh well...FWIW:and he still posting that he needs only two subs because his speakers goes down 20hz ( solid hz. ): so what?, that confirms that he did not understand yet the overall subject in this thread ... | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? @rauliruegas Not sure why you are attacking atmasphere. He's not selling subs. Over the years Ralph has been as unbiased as I can expect from a manufacturer, even when explaining benefits of a SET, which is a product that competes with his amps. H... | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? @atmasphere Ralph: if I'm taking measurements and measure a deep valley within the subwoofer frequency, would that be pointing to a standing wave?@mitch2 While many records have very similar low bass recording on both channels, to be certain it wo... |
