| Any comments on AES/EBU XLR digital cable VS. BNC Cable This may interest you(just a little fyi): http://www.audiopolitan.com/blog/spdif-does-coaxial-digital-cable-length-matter/ My own experience involved connecting my CAL Alpha and Sigma DACs, to a CAL Delta(some two decades back). The AES/EBUs ... | |
| Tube Rolling for Pre-amps? Tubes don’t get old/weak, from age(only use), unless they have a vacuum leak. If you’re really concerned about the remaining life of your 6922s(assuming yours isn’t the MkII), you might send them to theses guys, for testing: http://tctubes.com/tub... | |
| Amplifier design parameters required for a good match for high (16+) ohm speakers? Your welcome and I hope some of it’s useful(I try). btw: I found this power cable will fit the ST-70, with a rubber grommet and no need to further open the chassis’ original hole(after removing the strain relief, of course). I crossed and closed(w... | |
| Amplifier design parameters required for a good match for high (16+) ohm speakers? If you can solder and read simple schematics, improving the ST-70 is cake. There’s a wealth of info available. Just restrict yourself to those best reviewed, far as advice(ie: Ralph). Joe Curcio gave me some valuable tips, on how to increase my Jo... | |
| Looking for speakers with soundstage depth Still, lots of good information, in most of the thread. It was presumptuous, to have spoken for the OP. My apologies(if you’re still out there), Tim! | |
| Looking for speakers with soundstage depth dave_b: +1, but- I’ll bet Tim has resolved the issue, after 11 years. | |
| Amplifier design parameters required for a good match for high (16+) ohm speakers? If I still owned an ST-70, I’d be forced to purchase four of these(Did I mention, "salty"?): https://www.tubedepot.com/products/el34-mullard-double-o-getter-welded-plates I might be disposed to try the NOS, 1970s, Siemens version, toward the end o... | |
| Amplifier design parameters required for a good match for high (16+) ohm speakers? Does your ST-70 still incorporate the 7199? If so- not much available, as far as tube rolling, now days. The EL34/6CA7 has never been known for a lot of dynamics, regarding bottom end. Sylvanias or Mullards, are what I had always kept in mine. The... | |
| Amplifier design parameters required for a good match for high (16+) ohm speakers? Your Dynaco ST-70 is a tube amp. While SS amps reduce output, as speaker system impedance rises, the typical tubed amp does not(given a correct impedance match/output connection). You might find this article enlightening. Especially, the comments ... | |
| Is there any equipment that can do this? The XLO CD’s still out there: http://www.elusivedisc.com/XLO-Reference-Recordings-Test-Burn-In-HDCD/productinfo/RR1000CD/ One caveat: I’ve heard two pressings of the Columbia, Roger Waters, Amused To Death CD(exact same label, issue number, etc). ... | |
| Is there any equipment that can do this? It’s possible for a 2 channel system to reproduce the effect and/or ambiance recovery you’re describing. First the has to be present in the recorded media, either as a result of mic placement, or being processed/manipulated. Yeah: much easier, giv... | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? So many clear cases of people who thought they understood what someone else said, when what they heard wasn’t what the other meant. | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? Does that, "12 click program" require one to believe in a Cleaner Power? | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? @blindjim - +1, notwithstanding spelling ;^) | |
| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? I took millercarbon's response for a joke and others got upset(triggered by it, apparently). HILARIOUS(this is a fun thread)! |
