| Singer sounds lower than ear level, help raise it Onhwy61, Pickiy, Picky, Picky! :-)But what the hell, that's why we are here. The voice is, frequency wise, mid-range centered. So mostly it comes from the center of the speaker, i.e. the driver covering the mid range. If the recording has high fre... | |
| Three recent, key learnings While a little off topic, I think it is interesting to note that what often makes a recording outstanding or poor is nothing more, or less, than the source component. For example with my system I find both Telarc and Reference lables generally sou... | |
| Three recent, key learnings Something to consider when making statements such as 'a great system will never make a good recording, or a poor one, sound great'. This may be true, BUT consider that a lot of audiophiles like to tune their systems to get revealatory or detailed ... | |
| Headphone Amps The pre-amps output to the headphone amp will (I assume) come from the pre-amps tape out. If so the signal will bypass the tube amp stage in the pre-amp so there will be no tube redundancy. If you are taking the signal from one of the pre-amps mai... | |
| SS amp as opposed to tube amp Schubert, Funny thing, I've been into tube power amps for 25 years. Had my fair share of tube fireworks - took out bias resisters and fuses, but never speakers. FWIW as I understand it DC can't pass the amps transformers. I've had two SS amps. Bot... | |
| Headphone Amps With my Senn 650's I use a Woo WA3 tubed amp w/upgraded power tube and some JJ6922's. Clear and warm tone. W/these tubes it is dead quiet as well. Excellent match with the Senn 650's I think. They also sounded quite nice with the much cheaper Four... | |
| Repair of Cayin HA-2 tube headphone amp Rrog, And you know this how?Hayw, I agree with Buconero. Contact the USA distributor. | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? When this thread comes up now all it does is remind me of Brer Rabbit and the Tar Baby. Forgive me for LMAO, I know some don't think this is funny. Dull day I guess. :-) | |
| Primaluna Dialog Two Integrated Amp vs Cayin A-88T If you are asking about Cayin I have had several contacts with the distributor and found him to be very responsive, i.e. return calls same day, and he provided usful information. He services the product and I have no reason to suspect he is less e... | |
| Primaluna Dialog Two Integrated Amp vs Cayin A-88T I used re-issue Tung-Sol 6550s for power tubes, EI 6CG7's, EH12AX7, and JJ/Tesla 12AU7's. The Tung-Sols have solid bass with a bit of warmth in the upper bass. They are not additive in the higher frequencies as are many of the KT88's, just right I... | |
| Primaluna Dialog Two Integrated Amp vs Cayin A-88T Ericsh, this is not exactly on point, but I do have a Primaluna Prologue One and a Cayin T100, close to your request but no cigar.So FWIW, I use the One with EL34's (in preference to a Prologue Three & Five combo, which I also own, with KT88's... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? Mapman, I agree that either dynamic speakers or omni's can meet someone's expectations of holography. But to get there one needs to thoroughly understand how the speaker propogates its sound and how the room will react to the sound. IMHO this is t... | |
| What Does Holographic Sound Like? I'm somewhat at a loss to understand what exactly the OP means when he refers to 'sonic holography' and wonder if perhaps he is confusing that term with 'stereo image'. IMHO the later refers to a sense of height, width and depth, all of which are ... | |
| Another cheater plug thread Atmosphere, don't the rca's connecting the CDP to the pre-amp effectively ground the CDP chassis? | |
| Taming edge from remastered CDs? You might consider getting a 2d CDP, one with tubes, to use with the brighter (remasters?) CD's. Then put some soft toned tubes in it. Works for me. :-) |
