| Low gain amp system matching M3 gain is 15dB @ 1kHz. | |
| Low gain amp system matching Maybe an email to Audio Note UK is required...they do reply to queries.The output voltage of AN DACs is 2.5V (unbalanced). All AN preamps are built to handle this amount of gain. The volume control on my M2 Special sits at 12:00 while using an AN ... | |
| Ethernet and USB cables With CAT8 each conductor is individually shielded. Lower noise, protection from RFI/EMI. | |
| Best Way To Maximize Preamp Tube Life? Turning a tube system on 2 or 3 times a day doesn't hurt it all.@donsachs That sounds about right. Thanks for joining the conversation, Don. | |
| Member Almarg passed away last night I still think fondly of Al whenever I'm on this forum. Often, when there's a subject that I can contribute to or have some expertise in, I think "what would Al say in this situation." I try to follow his example of how to treat others, it's helped... | |
| Unplug or ride out the storm? @audioguy, are you sure? Won't all that voltage from lightning jump the breakers and travel through all wiring? | |
| Unplug or ride out the storm? @oldhvymec, correct about the use of lighting rods. But a direct hit to your home electrical will still take out the surge protectors. | |
| The Importance of the Digital Cable +1 @kijanki for mentioning timing, the influence of reflections in the cable andhow distortion affects the shape of the square wave. It's rarely mentioned how important it is to retain the integrity of the square wave from source to destination (... | |
| Canare 4S11 I don't think Home Depot sells cable designs like Canare. Did you look at the wrap of the conductors or only the outer jacket?Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can radiate from these speaker lines directly into adjacent low voltage cables (i.e. m... | |
| Thinking Out Loud JJ may be of good quality for stock tubes, but there are many 6SN7s with better sonics.This dealer has good info on different manufacturers and the sonic signature of tubes.http://www.audiotubes.com/6sn7.htmThese are NOS tubes ( New Old Stock), kn... | |
| Thinking Out Loud Bob, after the break-in period you should explore using different tubes if the sound is not to your liking. Tubes have different sonic characteristics based on manufacturer and tube type.Do you know what brand your stock tubes are? | |
| Thinking Out Loud @hshifi, OK, an A/B setup. Thanks. | |
| Why not copy the greats- vinyl LP question @bdp24 Thanks for that in-depth answer. And for including the info about "Kind of Blue"...fascinating.Used AP releases on Ebay can fetch high prices. And a modern reissue from a major label costs the same as your $35 gem.I've collected early and 1... | |
| Why not copy the greats- vinyl LP question @bdp24 Do you know how many LPs of an artist Analogue Productions typically issues? How many units, as they say in the biz. | |
| older CD transport vs newer ones. +1 @facten .Transports are better designed to output a low-jitter stream than a CDP. It may be all 0s and 1s, but it’s also the timing and purity of the signal; no distortion to affect the rise time and shape of the square wave. This tech is built... |
