| Is less than 24 bits worth it? Let's not forget jitter affect on resolution!Both circuit noise and data dependent jitter can easily "disqualify" the significance of additional least-order bits in a 20+ bit system. The intrinsic jitter from the oscillators that control the coax ... | |
| Anyone Bi-amping with tube high & solid state lows Your post above specifies the need to controll gain dynamically. Can you clarify what that means? As I understand it, an amplifier has a fixed nominal gain. It is nominal because there is some reactivity to complex loads. So the gain may at a part... | |
| Bi amping with Tube and Solid State In the context of cross-overs and bi- (or tri-) amplification, the word active simply refers to the fact that no energy from any one amplifier is used on more than one target driver. While this is a good thing (listen to a Meridian active speaker ... | |
| Bi amping with Tube and Solid State First you must know the cross-over frequency of your speaker (low end). On my Martin Logan SL3's, it is 250 Hz. Therefore, I would choose something less than this to make sure I preserve the integrity of the internal x-over circuit inside the spea... | |
| Other Tube Amps that compete with BAT 150SE I can't comment on a straight up competitor to the VK-150SE's. However, I am using BAT's VK-60, bi-amped with a big class-A SS amp on the bottom (Krell KSA-200S), and the results are fantastic w/ my Martin Logans. I believe the BAT tube amps are g... | |
| Bi amping with Tube and Solid State You would like to use tubes on top to enjoy the lush, liquid sound. However, you also want the low end slam of SS. Passive bi-amping (some may call it "Fool's Bi-amping" does not have all the advantages of active bi-amping. However, in your case, ... |
