| aragon 8008bb vs. bryston 4bst I have tweeaked an 8008BB with great sucess. I highly reccomend it after a couple simple changes. Details provided if you all desire. Chris | |
| Best Unknown Jazz Album Sugarbrie, the title is "Discovered Again" and yes it is wonderful. This album is one of Sheffield's finest. It is very dynamic and I have used it for years to do stress testing of systems. It can easily find the flaws in a system. Thank you for t... | |
| Preamp for Pass X350. I heard an X350 driven by a Pass pre and was VERY impressed. It now as me thinking about an upgrade. (please wife don't hit me ... I won't say THAT 'U' word again) | |
| Monoblocks did not work Paul, you are correct about the load the amp sees. A strapped or monoed amp can produce a lot of distortion. Each channel of the stereo amp now just amplifies one half of the waveform. Lets say there was a channel imbalance between the channels an... | |
| I am Not hurting anything right ?? Paulwp as others have said, the voltage is the same on both pairs of wires but the currents are not. To get a grasp of this think of a tiny electric motor and a really big motor hooked to a battery. Because of the impedance difference in the motor... | |
| I am Not hurting anything right ?? I used to teach basic electronics at a Vo-tech. I feel a need to clarify the bi-wire issue because I believe that some do not understand the electrical circuit. As Sean describes above a true bi-wireable speaker has a electrically separate crossov... | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" Gregm, I could not agree more. As my system evolved into the current collage of stuff, I tried different cables to achieve the sound that I desired. I have a mixture of silver plated and plain copper. What I use is not important to this discussion... | |
| Reviewing the Reviewers Thanks Kubla for introducing me to this thread. I believe that most audiophiles are very passionate. It is this passion that drives use to spend dollars and hours in pursuit of the magical illusion of a live concert. It is easy for me to see Trelj... | |
| Advice- wiring for dedicated sound room Abstract7, Could I assume that the secondary winding on the toroid is center tapped and you grounded the center? That would give you the out of phase balanced =&= 55 volts. Some isolation transformers may have a center tap but I am not sure th... | |
| Dielectric? Jadem6, It is doubtful that the dielectric could make much of a difference in the power delivery of a cable. A farad can deliver one ampere for one second. If a cable is highly capacitive it might muster up 1 uF of capacitance. This is not much cu... | |
| Dielectric? To clarify my above post ... An IC could be made with bare wire and spacers. Air is a better dielectric than any other insulator. | |
| Dielectric? I believe that the dielectric strength is related to the amount of voltage that it takes to force a charge thru the thickness. If air is 20 V/mil that is 20 volts per millimeter. (I don't think the value is right because it takes a few thousand vo... | |
| gear 3 CDP - 3 pres - 6 amps - 2 integrated - 2 recievers - 3 headphones - 10 speakers - 5 subs. WAAAAYYYY too much | |
| Pre-Pre-Amp Building Leach design or Op- I had a Leach many years ago. I used it on a Dennon 103 I believe. I felt that it was superior to the step-up transformer that I had at the time. (probably a dennon) I know that it is a good design and with it being battery powered does not hum. O... | |
| Trelja in New York Trelja, I must commend you on your systematic approach towards reporting on the show. You must have taken notes, and even with them I do not believe I could have been so thorough. Thank you for your report, your opinions, and your defense of the m... |
