| 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 ... | |
| Made in Canada conundrum Here is a recent video of Albert, Benie and the Dallas Audiophile Club visiting a Hi-Fi store in foreign land. Despite their finery they were unable to enter the store but they did take delivery of one Vache Monster Monoblock with four udderly fan... | |
| Made in Canada conundrum UPS brokerage fees are a crime at times. That is my experience. Definitely avoid UPS if you ant to avoid the risk of paying usury brokerage fees up to TEN TIMES the actual duties you are charged by the Government (for Canadians who import this is... | |
| SF Guarneri with ARC Reference 110-CD7-3 ? Any company that offers a transferable warranty requires proof of original purchasePerhaps Raquel refers to "out of warrenty" service - it is a fair point if you buy used then it is better to go with a manufacturer that supports their products ir... | |
| Underestimating the influence of studio monitors? If you want to hear what the master heard, or wants you to hear, ask him what setup he used, and enjoy. Good point. Since much of what you can find has been done on ATC then that would be an option I'd recommend investigating (if you go that way a... | |
| Subwoofers for Magnepan 20.1s? Yes, I agree go sealed with low group delay and large woofer. It will be expensive as a good tight sub means less SPL output - so you need really big rather than a high output resonant sub |
