| Who will survive? One last table til I die. Raul, I would refer you to the David Berning website, in the White Papers section, where amplifier transfer characteristics are discussed.You may know that the "load line" of a given amplification device in an amplifier defines how it responds to ... | |
| Push pull 300B amplifiers I'm sticking with the SET mode. | |
| I'm Very SCARED - Please advise, Cartridge Drop A minor incident.Many of us have actually ripped the stylus or the cantilever right off the cartridge, by mistake, and sometimes with cartridges that cost a couple thousand bucks.That gives you a really sick feeling when it happens. Everyone is hu... | |
| High output cartridges with high output phono pre The main problem might be a possible overload of the phono section or the preamp input section. You would hear the distortion if overload was taking place. Especially on high peak passages.If you are hearing no audible distortion on peaks, then th... | |
| Ultimate challenge biggest bang speaker David, in my many attempts at designing and building audiophile speakers, I have achieved modest results, but always at least listenable.After attempts at 2-way, 3-way, 4-way, 5-way, horn loaded multi-driver, and now single-driver, my feeling is t... | |
| Review: H2o Audio Signature Monoblocks I've read that the ICE module is a very good package, and some other designers are also using it. Your review is further assurance that the ICE module is all it's "cracked up" to be.The designers(B&O) have always been basically a "mid-fi" comp... | |
| Ultimate challenge biggest bang speaker I think that DIY can yield excellent results, if you know what you are doing. I DIY'd my speakers(Lowther drivers, modded Voigt Pipes), and I am very pleased with the results. They have proven to sound like much more expensive speakers.DIY can be ... | |
| How low can one hear Huh?? Say again Regardless of whether any individual hears them or not, the equipment that produces these sounds is typically at its extreme edge of its performance capability to respond as low as it does. If it responds lower than we need it to, then theory woul... | |
| how good is the sun audio sv2a3 Excellent amplifiers. Harvey Rosenberg(aka Dr. Gizmo) had been saying great things about Sun Audio SET amps for years, before he died. | |
| Component that stopped the upgrade cycle cold? My custom-built David Berning 45 SET-ZOTL amp, 12v battery powered, choke loaded, Sylvania 6SN7's, and Emission Labs Mesh-Plate 45's. It's the only one of its kind, ever made.Totally un-be-lieve-able!I've A/B'd some very highly regarded $10k-$20k ... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Yes, sad news indeed. I hadn't heard about it until I just read your thread, Artar1.He was a true innovator, and will be missed. | |
| Best equip stands Tireguy, you are correct about the "coupling", or what we call "resonance energy transfer", not being "isolation" as most would use the word. However, many people use that term descriptively to try to describe the effects that they are hearing, re... | |
| Please help with phono hum I can assure you that something is wrong with the grounding in the phono wiring or elswhere. You just need to find it.There is no hum problem in normal analog systems.I would also check your "new dedicated lines" for phase polarity and proper grou... | |
| Low level res more inherent in tubes? Cool, Newbee! | |
| Low level res more inherent in tubes? Rwbadly, since you are using the same speakers with a different amp, you may have noticed considerable changes in various things.The thing I mentioned about speakers related to using a more efficient speaker, so that the system can dig more out of... |
