| Am I really smart or really stupid? Bomarc,Did you forget about enclosures that should preferably be marble or chrome face he..he..? That costs money.How'bout adding some weight so that the consumer will feel its weight and understand that it's truely well-engineered product ...? | |
| Musicality and bass slam in a bi-amped system If amplifiers are close to their gain, sensitivity and output power settings you may use an extra volume controller to tame gain of the higher gain amplifier.If you're using two completely different amps such as 30W tube and kilowatt SS amp than y... | |
| What high-end cdp for low-end quality CD's ? What does it mean "the best darn you can afford"?Does that mean that if the budget is $20k one should go for Burmester??There are lots of tricks with digital audio to make it sound different. Heavy clampings, tank-ish constructions, hi-res pics ta... | |
| Rewire Turntable? Tom,MM input of PP2 is 47k so that shouldn't be low for any MM.35dB even for MM is very low.If we transfer it to "times" it will yield only approx 56.(100 corresponds to 40dB for the voltage)The output voltage yields approximately 360mV to feed th... | |
| Malaysian DIY Tube Preamp? BTW:This Malaysian designer has very lousy soldering skills...:-) | |
| Rewire Turntable? Here's what I figure:1.Goldring 1042 is low output MM <3mV out2.MM section of Nad PP2 has very low gain3.MC section has very low load impedance.Solution:Change Nad PP2 or cartridge.The first thing comes in mind for your setup is Parasound.Check... | |
| What high-end cdp for low-end quality CD's ? Get EQ. | |
| To Hot to Handle? 75Wpc monos will produce the heat of approximately 180W each on the standby and near 450W each during loud play.Multiply it by two and you'll get a pretty efficient heater to heat 150 sqfeet room during the beginning of Feb.Sometimes if I don't ha... | |
| What artist piqued your interest? I was never onto a specific style or music generation such as Classic Rock, Prog, Heavy, Metal etc... always placing on to the main interests of listening non-schematic music based on extra-ordinary improvisations whether it's rock jazz or electro... | |
| Best $500 combo player It may be off your budget, but would worth throwing some extra $100 for Rotel RDV 1080.CD,prog-scan DVD(PAL, NTSC, SECAM systems) and DVD-A. | |
| Impedance and how it effects volume?????? Z=R+jX is measured with OhmsWhereZ is impedance measured with OhmsR is resistance measured with Ohms -- a constant value that does not depend on freequency.X is reactance measured with Ohms -- freequency depended. j is directional vector on the co... | |
| what is DC leakage? Can it rip my Revel M20? ...only internally it will burn the voice coil eventually.not too soon though but depending on the level of DC going form the amp.Check with regular voltmeter at the binding posts of amp possibly hooked up to dummy load resistor (could be 10...20W... |
