| Battery Power for Audio System Greg, I'm not familiar with that type of battery that you mentioned, but I'd like to know about it. I am using a bank of 6 volt Trojan T-105 golf cart batteries in a series/parallel circuit that gives a 12 volt output. These are excellent batterie... | |
| Best new 5 ch.SACD/ DVD-A/ DVD/ CD player? Thanks, Flex. I guess I heard it about the earlier ones, and didn't hear the update about the change in the newer models. Disregard my above statements about the newer players. | |
| Best new 5 ch.SACD/ DVD-A/ DVD/ CD player? I have heard that all the Pioneer combo players convert the SACD to PCM before outputting to the DAC stage. This eliminates any sonic advantages that the SACD may have over the DVD-A. I think they did this on purpose to convince people that SACD i... | |
| new arm cable jam my Linn arm, need advice. thanks You have made a large mistake. The 90 degree cable end is important to the Linn's setup. If the arm cable is not properly positioned with just the right amount of play and orientation of the cable in a VERY tight plastic "P" clip, that is screwed ... | |
| Difference between 24/96 and 24/192 I believe that the higher sampling rates on the DVD players are for the soundtracks on DVD only, not CD. Even with the 24/96 or 24/192, you will only get that on the DVDs that were recorded in those formats. | |
| Headphones, or Speakers??? I tried it for awhile. I used Stax Lambda with the Class A headphone amp/preamp unit. Sounded great. The thing that made me get out of the headphone listening was the lack of "body vibrations" that normally accompany the sounds in the ear. I am no... | |
| Best Receiver Ever Made short of the MD-208 The Armstrong receiver made in England in the 80's was the best I ever heard. Rated at 30 watts. Had tremendous dynamic headroom and beautiful sound. Very close to the Naim 42/110 separates. The analog tuner was superb. Great phono section too. It... | |
| How good are the Sony 9000es mods.? I am thinking of getting my 9000 modded too. What level of mod gives the most bang for the buck? Are the Audiocom super regulators worth it? Anybody with a Modwright level 2 or 3 out there? Did you get the Bybee's? Are they any good? Does the 9000... | |
| Would you like to know about Dunlavy mods? I agree wholeheartedly with Ehider. | |
| Bi wiring my Sara's Luckily for you, you don't have to do anything at all. The Sara's are difficult to take apart and I wouldn't do it. Secondly, there is a version of the Sara called the Sara DMS that was made especially for bi-amping. They had no internal crossover... | |
| what is diff: Class "A", "A/B", and "B" Amplifier Design Principles This section will detail design philosophies of amplifiers and the various classes of amplifiers applied in audio. For example: Class A - transistor amp conducts for the entire cycle of input signal, conduction angle 36... | |
| what is diff: Class "A", "A/B", and "B" Sorry you guys didn't like my "power envelope" description. | |
| what is diff: Class "A", "A/B", and "B" Class A is non-switching. It produces a full power envelope whether you are using it or not,that's why they get so hot.Class A/B runs in Class A during low power operation and then switches to Class B for more demanding power needs. Class B amps a... | |
| Getting mold or mildew off old record jackets Wipe off as much as possible with a clean dry cloth and spray a FINE mist of Lysol on to the jacket from a distance, so as not to soak the jacket. Then let it air dry. The problem with mold and mildew is it keeps growing back if you don't kill it.... | |
| TO DAC OR NOT TO DAC? According to Ed Meitner, using an outboard DAC increases jitter dramatically. He stated in an article online that the output interface circuit/cable/input interface circuit cause more jitter than any other cause, even the transport.In his opinion,... |
