| Major Questions Concerning Tube Amps..?? DMH,The wattage is the product of the voltage and the current - so if the amp, for a given voltage is delivering less wattage,it is delivering less current - not more.The above posters are correct that although the tube amp putsout more distortion... | |
| Coolest looking speaker ever ? Apogees and Martin Logans.I don't know how many times people have lookedat either the Apogees or the Logans and askedquizically, "What are those?"I tell them they are for "beaming-up"!Dr. Gregory Greenman | |
| Parasound - Pass Labs - VTL - Krell Amp Selection Rooze,Be sure to check out the latest incarnations of the Krells -the "cx" series - i.e. the models ending in "cx - like theKrell monoblocks you cite above - FPB-350Mcx.They are a departure from the traditional Krell sound - theyare "sweeter" with... | |
| what is the best way to add remote control Rmihai,If he had an amp with an on/off switch that "latched" - i.e.stayed on - then a remote control could be used to turn on thepower.Since the remote control just switches on the power - it's notin the signal path - and would not degrade sound q... | |
| what is the best way to add remote control Myoussif,Since your amp has an electronic power switch that doesn't"latch" - i.e. stay on without power - and you don't have a 12V trigger - then manual operation is the only way.Gregory Greenman | |
| comparison between Theta, Bryston, Krell, Parasound Worldcat,No - the folks in the AVS forum know boomy bass from tight bass.It's not that the Theta is a poor amp - it does have goodbass performance.It's just that, modulo the speakers used - the other ampsmentioned will perform better than the Thet... | |
| KAV-2250 Thoughts? I second Linn1p12's recommendation - go listen for yourself.However, here's a review by John Kotches of Widescreen Reviewof the KAV-2250, as well as the TAS:http://www.everestaudio.com/reviews/krell_2250_review.pdfor as HTML:http://66.102.7.104/se... | |
| 4 ohm tap vs 8 ohm tap Alraul,I do end my post with my qualifications - and I get a lotof flak for doing so.The qualifications work as a double-edged sword.The fact that I put "Physicist" after my name says that Ido have a special expertise in Physics. It also says that... | |
| Power Cord Burn-In Flex,The quoted portion of my previous post is an ANALOGY.It's not meant as any type of proof - it's just an analogy.You're pushing an analogy to an absurd degree. Of courseit is well recognized that humans are much better at "pattern recognition"... | |
| 4 ohm tap vs 8 ohm tap Aroc,Alraul is correct - the full primary winding is always seenby the output tubes.The different taps are on the secondary side of the thetransformer with higher tap impedance having more windings.Hence the 4 ohm tap will have the fewest windings... | |
| Power Cord Burn-In Gmorris,EVERY model is an approximation at some level.The question is to what degree does the approximation hold.The approximations made in modern calculations of electrontransport are orders of magnitude better than the approximationof your EARS ... | |
| Are There Any Inherent Advantages to Class A amps? As others have stated - the Krell FPB "Class A" series areClasse A up to their rated output.A Class A amp can't switch to Class A/B - it doesn't havethe second "mirror-image" amplifier chain to handle the opposite polarity. An amp that is Class A ... | |
| Power Cord Burn-In Gmorris,I've signed my name that way for years - since the early advent of Usenet. As other posters have stated - the "inexact science" of"human emotion" and the "musical experience" is not germaneto this topic.It is purely about how electrons tra... | |
| Magnepan 3.6r or Apogee Divas? Campbelr,I would also go with the Apogees over the Maggies.The Apogees have so much potential - but you do have to set them up properly since they are more setup sensitivethan the Maggies.If you don't optimally setup the Apogees - they could easil... | |
| Class A Amplifiers and impedance dips Mitch4t,As Gs5556 and Marakanetz have pointed out; the amplifierclass has nothing to do with whether the amp doubles itspower as the impedance is halved.The doubling is a function of what the power supply andoutput stage are capable of. You can ha... |
