| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? You're forgetting the other side of the 'fun' camp. The V curve. Not about warmth and relaxing but energy and dynamics. For us guys who like the separation and shimmer of analytical systems but our music isn't up to the microscope treatment | |
| Seeking Advice on NOS DAC The Comet being discussed is quite far from the NOS sound. The two overarching characters of NOS are timing precision(could be called ease) and treble roll-off, the later being addressed by forward correction in many new production units.The Comet... | |

| Triode or Ultra-linear? Why? The only tube amps I've gotten along with have been pentode/UL. SE, yet to hear a PP. As you likely can guess I mostly listen to metal, classical, and electronic music. Frequency extremes are important.I agree on dedicated amps without switches, I... | |
| Your advice to speakers designers There's a lack of choice in the omni and coaxial schools of speaker design right now. You know the types of speakers which can address a large sweet spot. We don't all want to sit still listening and if we do time is precious.Plenty of room out th... | |
| Burson Audio low level noise It was an issue with the 160DS units. I bought one new when they released and within a year it had developed this noise. Hash is the right word for it, wasn't a ground hum. Bothered me enough to sell it onward. With any luck its been addressed in ... | |
| impact of op amps on preamp design Dunno about generalities but I've had poor experiences with companies on the discrete only crusade (reliability & sound) and I opened up an old CD player from the 80s which had impressed me with it's headphone out to find a single JRC opamp cl... | |
| Who makes coax speakers? I left out the fact my room is 10x15' and the speakers can at most be moved 1' from the wall. Budget tops out around 2.5K assuming passives. I'll look into the brands mentioned & stereophile measurements listed. I think my close to wall placem... | |
| Who makes coax speakers? Line array? I was of the belief those tightly focused the vertical dispersion. I want a speaker that sounds mostly the same whether I'm standing or on the floor, I'll be using my listening room for exercise. | |
| Heat/Efficency of Speakers I wish more manufacturers listed power draw, last night I found a few SET amp makers who listed this and I've been severely undervaluing it. 100W seems the minimum for any SE tube amp. Ok, I was assuming 10% efficency at worst hence my thought som... | |
| Heat/Efficency of Speakers Ok, assuming I only require 2W of power at the speaker:Class A will dissipate heat equal to its power consumptionClass AB/D will consume a tad over their idle power consumption with D being closer yo idle than AB.Correct?Maximizing my speaker effi... | |
| Heat/Efficency of Speakers Can you explain how that's the case? As I understand it now amplifier efficency only covers wall -> speaker terminal efficency. The wattage output to the speaker will mostly all be turned to heat. Where I stand Class A appears the answer only b... | |
| Heat/Efficency of Speakers So I should assume all power(90+%) drawn from the wall will end up as heat. I should be looking to minimize the wattage at the speaker terminals. I should clarify that I’m looking at room temperature exclusively. An amplifier’s ability to cool its... | |
| Exogal DAC I have mine on the marketplace right now, because I have the same preference in sound as you do.The Comet doesn't have the treble energy I'd like and falls to the warmer more saturated side of the spectrum without sacrifcing micro-detail by going ... | |
| Has anyone NOT listened to their system for a long time? I'm young and have no externalities which influence my listening habits, I take breaks too. Not from music but from listening to it on the main system. I have it in mind that I have to actively take interest in listening to an album for it to be w... |
