| Low level res more inherent in tubes? I think it has alot to do with the speaker system that is matched with the amp. | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. To me, the key here is not whether there may be some slight affects to the amplifer based on speaker reactances, but whether these small effects could even be actually audible, given wider range tolerances in many other parts of the sytem context.... | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. Here's a link to the entire article.http://www.audioholics.com/techtips/audioprinciples/amplifiers/dampingfactor.phpI copied the entire 2nd page in my previous post, which related to the issue we were discussing.However, on the first page there is... | |
| Pink Triangle calibrating the speed I'm not sure if there are any speed trim pots available on the Hornet motor controller. If there are not, then you may be faced with trying to get into it and installing them yourself.You could then use a printed 60hz strobe pattern on a piece of ... | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. Gregadd, those frqequency extreme and transient softness issues are also output transformer related. Not necessarily related to tube response. Tubes can provide very wide frequency extremes, and fast speed, when done properly. | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. Suttlaw, that Rottweiler "tweak" can go anywhere he wants to! :^)Typically, he goes right next to the listening chair, since he likes to be close to his "Dad". | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. And my last post was premised on the damping data alone, and did not even take into account the other important factors that may play into this matter. | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. Here is a very recent article "cut and pasted" from the Audioholics website regarding this very matter.Damping Factor: Effects On System ResponseMonday, August 30 2004Damping Factor: Effects On System ResponseAnalysisSeveral things are apparent fr... | |
| Tecnodec w/HR PSU - Speed Problems - Help? Dr. Balance, you have got me stumped on this one. | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. Raul, anyone who thinks that the location and order of harmonic distortion is "not matters", has no clue of what harmonic distortion is, nor how it affects a musical presentation. Please bone up on it, and try again.Regarding the 1.8 ohm output im... | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. Raul, I do agree that there are some favorable characteristics to both SS and tube designs.However, it appears that you are attempting to engage in some kind of "specs race" between SS and tube amps. Distortion Specs are only useful in some regard... | |
| Tonearms Good answers in both posts above.I agree that it is a good idea to determine where the "weakest link" in your analog chain is, and then take a step in that direction.If, in fact, your phono stage is limiting your sound quality to less than the PT/... | |
| A Call To Reason . . . . . Different people have different listening priorities. Some people may truly prefer one over the other, even after careful A/B testing, and living with them for awhile. It may also have something to do with how it all comes together in their indivi... | |
| Tecnodec w/HR PSU - Speed Problems - Help? Speed change from stylus drag is cumulative over the course of the entire LP side. Also, any bearing drag or any other things could enter into this equation. Basically, after you set the speed at the beginning of play, anything that drags it or ho... | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. Well, how about that? |
