| SET vs OTL As long as we are talking about bandwidth, power, detail, THD, we are not going to meet anywhere. If there is an instrument which can measure this effect (apart from our ears), I don't know it. But I am surprised it is not measured. | |
| SET vs OTL @atmasphere, your knowledge on design is at expert level so I wont talk about that.Whether we call it crossover distortion or "push-pull special" distortion. I have heard the exact same distortion attribute when I compared:1. Audionote SET to Lebe... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Thank you @Ibelchev , I get your point.The sonic difference between the Philips and Maxon was not much but I wanted a more powerful motor since I intended to try the flywheel experiment. | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine No, it is a low inertia Philips motor. The maxon is about 3 times more powerful | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux1238, I get your sentiments. Since you are happy to explore and experiment, here are some more things I tried with the Verdier:1. Changed the motor from the low torque philips to a high torque Maxon motor. Currently these are used in top TT... | |
| SET vs OTL The one thing that clearly differentiates an SET from any Push-Pull (OTL or not) is the crossover distortion which occurs due to splitting the wave and joining it back. Once I heard and lived with an SET, that distortion was so clearly audible in ... | |
| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt @calvinandhobbes, I belong to a similar school of sound, i.e tonal accuracy and timing being the fundamental goal.Check out Croft amplifiers from UK.http://www.croftacoustics.co.uk/ | |
| Phono preamp for new Klimax LP12 Very good choice with LP12.I would also see a fully restored EMT930 for that price. It comes with inbuilt tube phono stage too.Vs the Luxman EQ500, also check out Avid Pulsare II. A more straightforward design which compliments the Linn sound. Lux... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine I admire your enthusiasm for this classic turntable. I was using the Nouvelle Platine upgraded by Keith Aschenbrenner of Auditorium 23 for about 5 years. I have also heard the Platine multiple times. You are absolutely correct on few things:1. The... | |
| Jelco TK-850L Installation and Initial Impressions @bpoletti, unlike other Lyras I have heard, the Skala is NOT a very dynamic cartridge. It is warmer than typical Lyras though. I had the skala too but yea it does not have that hair raising macro dynamics nor are the micro-details that special. It... | |
| New Audio Technica ART9XA Up and Running..... Very good news! We now have a better ART9. I may go for the XA too :-) | |
| Best tube preamplifier for under $15k @keithr, Since you are coming from a Music First Audio TVC preamp, you will value a preamp that's not colored or voiced I guess. Shindo, Audio Note, CJ and the likes are all very voiced products. They have a strong house sound. At least I have use... | |
| Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy? @mglik, I know what you are searching for. I too am a long time 300b SET user. And now looking for a more powerful amp for my Tannoys. The reality seems to be, there is no exact match without a compromise. Solid states that sound good to my ears a... | |
| Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B Or may be A-E considering how many hours sleep I had on the days of comparison | |
| thinking to buy Luxman M900u mono , what other similar amps should i look? Parasound JC1 monoblocks or Symphonic Line Kraft. Either of them are proven to deliver both quality and quantity without sacrificing naturalness. Imo, a lot of todays amps which uses esoteric parts and circuitry ultimately sound just that. Esoteri... |
