| Cool-running tube or SS amp for small room ICE amps run cool - check out Bel Canto. Any conventional SS or tube will run hot if it has high power output. | |
| Shout out for DMB's Big Whiskey /GrooGrux I found this Shake me like a Monkey. Carter has a great snare sound. Anyone know what he is using? | |
| Shout out for DMB's Big Whiskey /GrooGrux Excellent. I just ordered it. Crash is also my favorite of DMB but heavy handed Steve Lillywhite did spoil it a tad with a little over compression. I have also been disappointed by the quality of DMB's live stuff. My only worry is compression - Gr... | |
| Interconnect Inductance vs. Capacitance Shadorne's example of dynamic and lively sound is a good one. I am not sure what electric characteristics can be used to describe it. I am not sure either but I suspect it has to do with the current drive capabilities of the output stage of the l... | |
| In the Air tonight DRUMS - phil collins on LP I am not sure if anyone is aware but Phil Collins has been involved in trials testing a new drug that fights baldness - you can see him in this recent performance of In the Air Tonight. Obviously the new product seems to work but they have not rel... | |
| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps fairly flat frequency response Sorry my bad - I meant fairly flat impedance response. | |
| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps In the example above we are talking like a maximum of 4 db difference this is not dissimilar from what some people might do with a tone control to adjust for room acoustics and preferences.I found a good explanation herePlease note that if you hav... | |
| Is too much power in an amp really a problem? Guido is our resident shill for Rowland.See the posting history for verification. My apology to Guido.He is the resident co-shill.Dcstep must be considered an equal if not bigger shill. Perhaps it is time we cleaned up this website and eliminate... | |
| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps To be more exact, the result was a tonal imbalance with the highs louder than the bass and midbass, resulting in a tipped up or bright sound. The tube amps used were VAC MusicBloc 160 push pull and Atma-Sphere M-60 OTL. Physically that might be e... | |
| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps Silverline Sonata III. 93dB, 8 ohm nominal. Silverline speakers are voiced with Pass Labs amplification Wow. Those are nice. Very nice. What a great combination and the Silverline's look great in maple too. You really should put up a virtual syst... | |
| Interconnect Inductance vs. Capacitance No, as far as I am aware no one sells interconnects with capacitance high enough to "grossly" affect high end frequency response. But under extreme circumstances (high component output impedance, long cable length, high cable capacitance per unit... | |
| Is too much power in an amp really a problem? "Kijanki is right - an underpowered amp can clip when played loud, and clipping of an amplifier causes high-frequency harmonics that are routed to the tweeter by the crossover, possibly overloading it."This is often what makes a system sound "perc... | |
| Suggest speaker cable for long run...? I second Al's advice and would add that you should avoid 4 ohm speakers if you desire good quality sound and furthermore (if you are serious) simply use a pro type balanced XLR preamp and run your 50 feet with XLR to your power amp close to the sp... | |
| What music do you want to play really loud? R U Gonna Go My Way Live - check out Cindy. She's an even better jazz drummer but can rock out with the best of them! I was lucky enough to see this tour. | |
| Is too much power in an amp really a problem? I don't think you need a lot more power than you have. Are you hearing any distortion at typical high SPL levels and do you like to crank it often or do you play bass heavy stuff a lot?Those are all nice high quality drivers in your speakers (the ... |
