| slew rate and rise time Jj2468 & Rleff : In general, the specs for output Z will be listed in the owners manual of the amplifier or on the manufacturerÂ’s web site. One should also note the input Z as this can come into play when interfacing a preamp or source to the ... | |
| McIntosh MC352 or MC402? Mcintosh will sell you the service manuals for their amplifiers and they are inexpensive. The manuals consist of parts lists and schematics, but that is the best way to compare the different models, other than testing them yourself. | |
| slew rate and rise time Dazzdax: For the most part the slew rate of just about any amplifier you are using at home is going to be a non-issue. Any signal, no matter what it looks like, can be broken down into a series of sine waves at different amplitudes and phases (Fou... | |
| slew rate and rise time One more point as far as interrelationships. If it is not already obvious from the previous posts, if you are using an amplifier to process pulses you would first determine the rise time and fall time of the fastest changing pulse and the change i... | |
| slew rate and rise time Rise time is defined as the time it takes a signal to go from 10 percent of it's peak value to 90 percent of its peak value. For example, if you have a 0 to 10 volt pulse, the rise time is the time it takes for the pulse to go from 1 volt to 9 vol... | |
| My record gain knobs make alot of noise need help When you buy an electronic cleaner be certain that it is "zero residue". Some cleaners include a lubricant - this compounds the problem because the lubricant causes more dirt to adhere to the contacts. | |
| Advice on power cables Either (a) accept the statements from persons with scientific and engineering backgrounds who state that different power cords make no difference in audio performance, or (b) buy a lot of different power cords, particularly the most expensive ones... | |
| Effective AC power conditioners for digital?? In general, when trying to solve noise problems with digital equipment of any type you are working in the opposite direction than when trying to solve noise problems with analog equipment. (I am not talking about jitter problems, ) With an analog ... | |
| High End Monitors Take a listen to Genelec active monitors. | |
| Unterminated speaker cabling sources? FWIW, If you ask anyone in professional audio what cables they use you get the same answer - Mogami. It's not unreasonably priced. What the pros use seems like a good option but since it's not expensive it may not be worthy of the more demanding a... | |
| Favorite Telarc releases..... Jarvi and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra put out a couple of CD's a year on Telarc, as did Cobos and as does Kunzel with the Pops - I have nearly all of Jarvi's and a good deal of Cobos's and Kunzel's. They are all superb - particularly look at... | |
| Bi-wire v's single with jumper leads. Kijanki: I had misread your earlier post - you did indeed remark ( and correctly I might add) that the cable - amp Z was less than the HF circuit Z. | |
| Bi-wire v's single with jumper leads. How do you figure the emf of the LF driver (essentially a source at that point) sees a Z of the cable and amp that is less than the Z of the HF circuit? It is not even close. HF circuits typically have a resistor in series with the driver ( 2 or 2... | |
| how much would you say a good set up cost A lot depends on what is meant by "a real good system. not over kill, just good equipment, good sound stage." The word "good" is highly subjective. Any Yamaha, Denon, Sony, Bryston, Mcintosh, B&W, Paradigm, ATC, etc. equipment will be good equ... | |
| Bi-wire v's single with jumper leads. While the back emf from the LF driver does create a signal that beats with the higher frequency components to produce distortion in the range of the HF circuit, I question the extent of that signal. Thevenizing the respective circuits (with a sign... |
