| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? mapman Why do you talk about subroutines when all analog? I have been a computer programmer for years and what I have found is that if you see the functionality of a circuit as a task unto itself - I consider it a subroutine that can be accessed... | |
| Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? tbgHas anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? Yes I have.Roger | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? geoffkait,Your right - the odds are against having things work properly.Roger | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? wolfAfter reading these posts again I do recognize something I should not have done. To say that your system lacks focus. I actually prefer tube systems over SS for just that attribute. I was able to put together my Idea as SS only because there a... | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? wolfI apologize if I rub you the wrong way or any other readers for that matter.As time goes on and others are added to the number of people who have had a chance to hear what I have been trying to describe, it will become self evident as to the ... | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? wolf With all due respect, let me clarify a few things. wolf - The "same as live" concept is irrelevant If you are listening to a live band on stage and you turn your head – what happens to the band members? Do they follow your head and stay in... | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? geoffkait,All you need to start with is a new power amp - it has the most difficult job of maintaining constant velocity with linear gain that cannot vary (at all). It has built in Auto-FocusYou will be back for the preamp.(also no distortion w/ A... | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? cleeds,I'm sorry for the confusion. I may not have properly explained this phenomenon. Its all in the viewpoint. I have more experience in the field of distortion than anyone. (Bold statement? Yes) Its because I have studied in great detail what h... | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? r_f,I am also fan of Tom Waits. Do you have a recording of him live?I know the engineer that recorded Bela fleck and the Flecktones and have the live recording of them in Africa that is truly amazing. When you hear music through a distortion-fr... | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? Knowing that something was still in the way led me to use pure theory to suspect what was happening. I put velocity traps in place hoping to catch the tiny errors that again were just theoretical. I was delighted to see (hear) it work and It confi... | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? cleeds,Well I see where you are going but it is not the same thing. For example in order to have speed variations on the turntable the are like those found in amplifier, your TT speed (33 rpm) would have to speed up to 66 rpm in order to produce a... | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? THD analyzers do not detect velocity. It is too far below the ability to display. The circuit can detect velocity and correct faint variations in speed in real time.It is those speed variations the destroy the integrity of the final output sound a... | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? Actually - it cannot be measured by external analyzers but it can be detected within the circuit and removed. As a result the resolution, detail and physical layout of the original venue become blatantly obvious.The amplifier is able to pass the e... | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? There is another thread started by the reviewer... Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp? This would be the one to follow and learn about this process if you are curious.Roger | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? Thank you r_f for your civil response. The only reason I ended up on this thread was the topic "burn-in" which I happen to know about because it was the last obstacle in the way of distortion-free amplification.I know of other manufacturers who I ... |
