| Captive turntable interconnects; should I modify?? Gbart,Yr pic of the mod does not load. | |
| First Test for tube bias on ARC Ref 110? Cmalak,Why do you thing that it's done by "added microprocessors and digital circuitry"?1. Autobiasing is done in DC domain and does not affect the signal no matter what kind of components are being used vacuum, solid-state or ICs.2. Autobiasing c... | |
| Good ADC and PC Sound Card Research new Mytek 192 products for ADC. You may also go with their DAC and use it as sound card depending on your budget. I mainly oriented budget towards your integrated so both components stay around $2500 with latest digital technologies. You ... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not Balanced isn't only 3-pin. It could also be 5-pin stereo-balanced. If the phonostage is fully balanced(recall Violectrik), you can rewire tonearm for 5-pin stereo-balanced transmission. So aside from marketing, our cartridges/arms are balanced by ... | |
| Captive turntable interconnects; should I modify?? The rewireing services might worth the same funds as turntable.DIY rewire will save half.There are many options:Stay as-is (probably highest ROI)Incognito wire set (Best value)Transparent wire set (Best performance, but high price)Cardas wire set ... | |
| How Do You Pronounce Thiel? Duckling becomes duck. | |
| Stax headphone amp with non-Stax headphones. WOW,Thanks all,The Stax connector is the same as 5-pin stereo-balanced connector with "slight" difference:-)I've seen some balanced headphone amps with the same 5-pin connector | |
| Stax headphone amp with non-Stax headphones. It's 5-pin balanced connector with shared ground that is used in Stax amps. Every amp is designed for a specific load(impedance). I would doubt that impedance of electrostatic headphones is in the single digits(aka ideal for iPod) | |
| First Test for tube bias on ARC Ref 110? inclusion of self-biasing circuit only improves sound. | |
| First Test for tube bias on ARC Ref 110? Convenience vs. sound quality I guess is at the core of their thinking. That is my best guess at their thinking.It's the best phrase to cut corners, but reality is different. | |
| First Test for tube bias on ARC Ref 110? It's surprising that Reference models of ARC do not have an auto-bias. Even if the most primitive autobias circuit is implemented, you don't have to worry about biasing for at least half of tube life. I don't clearly understand ARC philosophy beyo... | |
| How do I get the most out of the Squeezebox Touch Step 1: DACStep 2 and others are optional. | |
| About to buy Aerial 9s, BUT want to ask first... Aerial 9 isn't for tube amps in any room.Aerial 9 isn't for small rooms either. I have Aerial 10t(not tube friendly either) that are in 15'x20' with listening distance 6' and 6' appart. They're driven by 500Wpc of class D amps and I listen to them... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not Hmmm... Nandric,Perhaps I should do some R&D to find out if there are audio components made in (Wherever) first or what components they're using and if they're being somehow blessed by Central Commitee. I've also ommited some other means of bl... | |
| Tom Waits Bad? To see him live is almost impossible for few reasons: Rarely tours and once on tour the tickets are more-likely sold shortly after announcement if announced. Street ticket scalpers would sell tickets to you for near 10x the actual price. He's a na... |
