| The peculiarities of a high value, low cost, amp @bigshutterbug Perhaps it's system synergy, but LRS is crazy good on my system. Do you recommend any other recordings of Jazz with that same artful synergy that you find in the Connick album I've described? I've gotten quite a bit out of Patricia ... | |
| Filter Capacitance @erik_squires So, the output voltage is not directly tied to transformer size? And watts are also not directly related to voltage? If the amp is 80wpc, the absolute maximize voltage is about 80volts? The capacitance offsets limits in the ability o... | |
| The peculiarities of a high value, low cost, amp I'm running a Schiit Saga (SS/Tube, model), and the Cambridge CD transport. Modi 3 DAC. These are my examples of inexpensive components that together amount to what is practically a revelation in audio, in my space. I owned Vandersteen 2CI's for o... | |
| The peculiarities of a high value, low cost, amp I've researched crown and my strong intuition is that the top end is not going to meet my standards. The mention of crown "valve" amps was interesting, perhaps a specific model could be indicated. My feeling (and research) is that crown produces a... | |
| amp hiss impact on speakers Oh. M. G.and I don't say that. | |
| amp hiss impact on speakers The amp is solid state. With the pre-amp off, I still hear the light hiss. So, the solution is to NOT run the amp the whole time? I keep hearing of people leaving things on "all the time." Is this a mistake, in this instance? | |
| Do any of you "meditate" on your music? In essence, paying attention is (perhaps) the one and only must of meditation. | |
| Do any of you "meditate" on your music? My question is - how long before I can't rest without searching for another part of my system... this is where meditative force helps a person to consider their actions, as to whether they are limiting habits, practiced escape hatches, or sources ... | |
| Do any of you "meditate" on your music? @arctikdeth Sounds peaceful. | |
| Do any of you "meditate" on your music? Meditation deepens the escape we find in music, ime. | |
| Do any of you "meditate" on your music? I can't tell you how valuable it is for me to hear this diverse response. I'm very appreciative of the example of Bach listening. Bach always has my respect, not to mention his heart. I'm interested in the essence of meditation, which I believe is... | |
| Focal Aria 948, Revel F208, Tekton Double Impact Has anyone found this review, comparing the double impact to the forte iii, on YouTube?@badger_erich where did you see it? I did watch a Zero Fidelity review, wherein a comparison was made between the two speakers, but he did not favor one over th... | |
| Watts and power @atmasphere and others, when I read, for example, the power rating for the parasound A 23+, it states:160 watts x 2 @ 8 Ω RMS, both channels driven240 watts x 2 @ 4 Ω RMS, both channels drivenMy assumption has always been that the top 8ohm figure ... | |
| Watts and power The idea is to replace my existing speakers with two speakers that present 4ohms resistance/each. I understand the speakers are efficient, although the manufacture statistic of 98dB is probably overstated. The hope is that the amp functions well a... | |
| Time to move UP, speaker-wise... I am enjoying the journey, and so here's an update... after more hours than I want to admit, I've made a decision. The Tekton Moabs. Yes, the ring of "please please please" make sure to listen to them before buying was in my ears and yet I don't h... |
