| Green, Eco Friendly Class A Monoblocks Peter_s,Apologies to CW in advance on going slightly OT... do the heatpumps generate electricity or only generate air/water-heating capacity? I have yet to find a heatpump which can generate electricity well without having the input significantly ... | |
| Green, Eco Friendly Class A Monoblocks Carl,I was going to suggest both the battery and the ralphmasphere route. However, almost by definition, there is nothing which is going to make Class A amps efficient enough to be eco-friendly. Running Class A monoblocks to drive Magneplanars is ... | |
| Direct Drive turntables Phil, I agree that the inflation calculator does not answer the question. The channel inefficiency part is key. Another point was that in 1978, the USD/JPY rate was much higher than it was today (the dollar was at twice as strong vs the yen, and f... | |
| Older Altec horn speakers Thank you Duke, for an insightful/informative post regarding 19s. All I know is I like'em. I got mine for about $1200 about 15mos ago and I consider that the best bargain in speakers I am ever likely to get. | |
| Manual for Denon DP-37F Any specific questions you need answered? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, You could either make a new "system" on Audiogon and post the pictures there, and make links to them that way, or you could get a photobucket account and post them there. I cannot remember if there is a way to post pictures into the thread i... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? WRT the AKG cart link in my previous post, keep in mind that there is 5% sales tax which needs to be added onto that dealer's prices. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Siniy123,I think the Yahoo Auction in question is here. By going through that dealer's online storefront, they have a 10% off sale for the next couple of weeks but I do not know if it applies to items on consignment like this one. | |
| Is this Possible???? As long as the 2-channel chain is Metis to Rotel to Revels, that should work fine... :^) | |
| Direct Drive turntables Mike, Raul,Actually, the 0.001% Raul quoted is equal to 10 parts per million (it already has the percent sign there). Lots of Japanese DD tables had a 10-20 parts per million speed accuracy spec (at least using the most advantageous measuring meth... | |
| Direct Drive turntables Raul,Absolutes are difficult to support in any case. As you realize, doing a controlled-environment test where everything else (platter and materials, bearing, isolation/suspension, plinth, arm, cart) are the same is quite difficult. I can imagine... | |
| Why do preamps improve sound of CDP? In 10 words or less... better loading of amp by preamp than by CD player.You can find a lot of commentary on this if you search through the archives for threads on running CDPs with volume direct to amp, or on threads about passive attenuators. | |
| Direct Drive turntables What Lew said. | |
| Direct Drive turntables I think many DDs, even in the early 1980s when TTs were at their volume peak and technology development costs could be spread over a large number of units, were hampered by less-than-ideal implementation of plinth/isolation features. Because BDs u... | |
| Speakers and TT for NAD 3020 Micro-Budget System? For the TT, I would suggest doing a bit of research on what might be good on a used basis, then buying a TT at Goodwill, or off ebay. I would recommend asking on the Vinyl board at AudioAsylum.com for a list of good models which can be found at ga... |
