| New preamp, loss of low freq.? Hi George, I have a EE design question.When no output coupling cap is used, can't DC be outputted into the SS amp? In tube to tube, this isn't a problem, but what about DC transients from a tube pre entering a SS amp when the design of the amp's i... | |
| New preamp, loss of low freq.? I have a thought, the Groneberg Quattro ref ICs may have more low-end extension than your current cables. But let them burn-in before making judgement. IME, installing Cardas Clear Light from my pre to amp added deeper bass and more weight to the ... | |
| New preamp, loss of low freq.? George, of course you're right, it's not an impedance mismatch...I'm terrible at math. The only way to know if there's an output coupling cap is to call the company since this preamp was designed to mate with the Sanders amp. | |
| What would be a good turntable/tonearm/cartridge open question....What's the relationship between Music Hall and Pro-Ject TTs? Are the companies related or is MH only using their carbon fiber tonearm? | |
| Warm sounding power cord for for CD player to suppress digital glare on vocals. I have found PCs such as Audience and Cardas provide a warm sonic signature, but I don't think changing a PC to prevent glare is the way to proceed. I don't know if a PC will even remove glare from a digital device. Digital "glare" or harshness (i... | |
| New preamp, loss of low freq.? Tube amps and preamps typically have higher impedances than SS. | |
| New preamp, loss of low freq.? George,From a design perspective, why does the McCormack have such a low input impedance? | |
| New preamp, loss of low freq.? George, Yes, the amp's input impedance is extremely low at 10kohm, and is not a good match for this preamp. But the preamp's output impedance is very low, so an amp with an input impedance lower than 47kohm can be used for testing, correct?If he c... | |
| New preamp, loss of low freq.? If the preamp is brand new I would give it some time to break in, about 150 hours, before you make any determination.Of course, listen to atmasphere and give it some time. But, what amp are you using and are you going balanced or single-ended? | |
| how can I make the back wall transparent? williewonka, that's the idea I had for an acoustic Crown Moulding. I was thinking of mounting a 2x4" length of wood as the foundation, and that's about as far as I got. I read that 1/8" MLV weighs 1 pound per sq. foot, then I googled "vinyl uphol... | |
| Bass driven floorstanders? PSB has deep bass extension. Synchrony or Imagine models $1500 to 2000 used.Similar in size to to Totem. | |
| Warm sounding power cord for for CD player to suppress digital glare on vocals. Need more info about your setup. Is it a dedicated CDP or a CD transport to a DAC? Preamp/amp, tubes or solid state, any digital cables? | |
| how can I make the back wall transparent? Nicely done, williewonka. Sounds like it matches the decor of the room as well.When I referred to a "type of crown moulding, " I was wondering if there was a way to use a strip of thick vinyl near the ceiling where typical crown moulding is always... | |
| New format, dislike..... Thanks, Al. I can now find it in Discussion Forum/"View My Activity," or "My Threads"/"7" or "14" or "30" days. That displays up to date threads that I have participated in.I have also just found that by hitting my ICON (in my case "L"), it displa... | |
| New format, dislike..... Under MY DISCUSSIONS, only MY last answer is diplayed in a thread. Why isn't that thread showing that others have added comments after mine?Has anyone else noticed this? |
