| Pro vs. Consumer Equipment Abex: The Dio that i listened to was modified by Wayne and made use of an outboard power supply of measurably higher current than the stock offering ( 3 amps continuous ). This power supply should have allowed the Dio to produce a lower noise floo... | |
| Amp heat sinks are ringing Pm: It's not a matter of whether the change is good or bad, but that it DOES change. As such, the sound that you are used to and may have worked hard to achieve can be altered for better or worse.Gs: Thanks for the link to Goldman's solution for t... | |
| Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet? It is only entertaining if you don't loose money getting suckered. Sean> | |
| Amp heat sinks are ringing All SS amps do this to varying extent. While you can cure / reduce the ringing, doing so will also change the sound of the amp. If you doubt that this could affect the sound, take some vibration readings at the output device using an accelerometer... | |
| Review: PS Audio HCA-2 Amplifier I guess we have different ideas as to what a "glowing review" is. When a reviewer goes out of their way, albeit a couple of times, to make sure that one fully understands that a product has a distinctly coloured presentation compared to several ot... | |
| Review: PS Audio HCA-2 Amplifier I meant that it is "like any other unit" in the fact that it will either mesh with a system or it won't. I wasn't implying that it had "no special traits" as the amp has several measurable traits that might / might not benefit a specific system. S... | |
| Power cord? Why? I'm thinking that Corona was commenting more on wire geometry than the way that wire is drawn, but only Corona can answer that question : ) Sean> | |
| optical or coaxial audio cable? I would only like to point out that when doing such tests, one is actually testing the "compatability" or "system synergy" of the components / cabling under test. Due to the variances in optical / coaxial and analogue output stages and those same ... | |
| Review: KAB SL-1200 Fluid Damper Tweak "Z": Take a look at the ART thread as to my "more recent thoughts" about Agon and "taking a vacation".Other than that, i too find Donovan's comments VERY interesting and a very worthwhile contribution to this thread and Agon in general. Obviously,... | |
| Power cord? Why? I don't know what Corona is specifically speaking of, but i'd love to have this subject expounded upon in a more specific manner. Along with Kool39's question, consider me the second party that would like Corona to further discuss the thoughts exp... | |
| Outlaw 950 Pre-Pro The Adcom is only a two channel active / passive preamp with an HT processor loop built into it. As such, you can use the Adcom for listening in two channel and then switch in the Pre-Pro for use as needed for HT use. As to this approach offering ... | |
| Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet? Psychicanimal was kind enough to forward me a link to a similar discussion regarding D911 / ART SLA-1's on another forum. The moderators over at Audiocircle came to the same conclusion that Audiogon did. The fact that Audiogon was the first to cat... | |
| Review: PS Audio HCA-2 Amplifier If you re-read Kal's "rave", it's not really a rave. Kal also publicly stated that he had nothing to do with this amp being placed into Stereophile's "Class A" category as this was already decided prior to him receiving the amp for review. The "Cl... | |
| Have you tried the ART SLA-1 amp yet? I feel the need to make a public apology to Audiogon and explain my actions. This also goes to those people that may have seen another thread that i posted to and was pretty much "instantly deleted" or those that i contacted via email. As many of ... | |
| Weird ring/thump noise when I hit my speaker cable I agree with Marakanetz. Any tube that is microphonic should be pitched or at the very least, not used in an audio system. Sean> |
