| Why no threads on OTL amps? My reading of the schematic on the Berning patent shows no "output transformer." There is a coupling transformer for the RF carrier network that which is what actually performs the impedance matching function. Since this coupling transormer does n... | |
| Okay, the gloves are off. Let the fur fly Okay, guys, I think that you all are presenting some great reasons for your choices. Contrary to what any may think, I don't hate box multi-way speakers. I also agree with those who said things about the tradeoffs being personal choices and even t... | |
| Okay, the gloves are off. Let the fur fly Still trying to stay out of this,Jj,my "point" is the interesting observation that while audiophiles seek true sound reproduction, they sacrifice some of that same truth in reproduction, in the name of wide spectrum and high volume. As you say, tr... | |
| Okay, the gloves are off. Let the fur fly Sean, your drivers are Ohm walsh types. | |
| Okay, the gloves are off. Let the fur fly Ljgj, I had planned to stay out of this discussion so as not to color the responses, but since you ask, I'll be brief. Since I don't design drivers, I have primarily done various designs with stock/modified drivers. I started out with multi-way sy... | |
| "Modify" Stax headphone Transformer SR-7 Pro?? Why don't you just make a pair of quick-connects to allow you to easily hook the Stax box to your amp? The better you put into them, the better you'll get out. Cheap, too. | |
| Swap Arcam CD23 for 9000ES trans and DAC? I have the 9000 and think it has an excellent transport and also excellent DAC section. When going to a 2 box setup jitter is introduced worse than staying with a 1 box unit. Try the sony as a 1 box player and if you like it, great. If you think i... | |
| Why no threads on OTL amps? Mejames, I would think that any good speaker to your liking would work well with the zh270. Bear in mind that it is 70 watts per channel, so the selection should include that criteria. As you may know already, I am quite opinionated in my speaker ... | |
| Does using a powered subwoofer make better sound? Does any of the music you listen to contain bass information below 40Hz? | |
| Did I do the right thing? I hope they weren't Heitz Cellars 1974 Martha's Vineyard! But, if they were Opus One or the like you may be excused. The Rega and LP's will be with you for the long term, and the wine is a one time experience. Although, with the '74 Heitz, the mem... | |
| Receiver +2ch pre on same speakers? Which one? You could just get a speaker switching box. I know it is not a perfect way to go, but it will get the job done. There are some better made ones out there. Just a thought. | |
| Need replacement for garden hose Audio Advisor Hey,Gumbydammit! Watch those cracks about Fostex based single driver home built speakers. FIY, they likely reveal more than anything you've ever set ears on. If you don't like the sound of them, then maybe(probably) it's the gear that was driving ... | |
| Citation 7.1 CUTS out, do I need More Power? Still, don't know for sure, because I haven't had any of the gear you mentioned, but some speakers have a cut out type of protection device in them, too. However, the ones that I've seen need to be manually reset once they've tripped. Check the ow... | |
| Citation 7.1 CUTS out, do I need More Power? I don't know for sure, but it certainly sounds like the protection circuit(if it has one). You must really be lifting the roof! | |
| Splitting a balanced signal ??? Dean, I concur with ljgj. The pro sound guys do it all the time. If you go to a pro musician's shop, they should get you going with the right hardware. |
