| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD A Denon cartridge? Why would you do that to your vinyl? You’re kidding me, right?In legal circles, this is called a results based outcome. Sounds to me like you wanted the digital to win, and you put a piece $300 cartridge in there to make sure of... | |
| My first Tube Amplifier bep24:yes, they are. | |
| $10k Speaker Cables?????????????? Wesheadley:”3,000 billionaires -- no, these products are made for high net-worth professionals and of course, the venerable trust-fund-babies...”Like, whatever, dude. That doesn’t change the point that I’m making, which is that economic inequity h... | |
| My first Tube Amplifier Bdp34,Thank you for that. So, ESLS like Futtermans. And the Futtermans like the Altecs because? | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Atmaspheres:I have 6,000 LPs. A lot of them have a good bottom, some have an excellent bottom. I love the Theodorakis performance, but alas it’s like listening through cotton. Let’s see what it sounds like in my new room. I’ll let you know. M | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Ramtubes: “SPL”you just went technical on me. I’m gonna take a wild guess: sound pressure level?I think the debate between cone and electrostatic is reminding me of the great cable interconnect debate. Could it be that this is just personal prefe... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Ramtubes,My bad. I rarely go to shows. I meant showrooms. Audio store showrooms I presume are set up to show the gear at some approximation of optimability. By “more power” I’m just going by where I set the volume control before and after. It was ... | |
| My first Tube Amplifier Shkong78,I believe that the OTLs are very fussy about their load. They are most famous for being matched with electrostatic speakers. I however, have been driving Altec 604Cs at 16 ohm with them. The Altecs are 101 dB efficiency. | |
| Drink of choice for serious listening? My favorite drink isn’t a drink. John Hartford said in his song “Granny Won't You Smoke Some Marijuana”: “I used to get high and listen to the Beatles. It ain’t much fun now that it’s legal.”It’s still illegal in my part of this fine land. But whe... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. analogluvr,I’ve been curious about the Atmospheres. I have a 3 disc LP set of Theodorakis’s “Canto General” that Atmosphere produced, and I found the engineering to be disappointing. It has been muddy, and there has been no bass to speak of. I hav... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. PS:the speakers could have have been changed to 8 ohms at re-coning. I kept them at 16. They are rated 101 dB efficiency. The Futtermans are now about 45 Watts each. . | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Hi Ramtubes,”Are we talking about NYAL Futterman? Perhaps I have missed something in this thread? Do you mean Jon Snyder?”You will be sorry you asked!Let me fill you in on my setup. When I was 14 years old (that’s many many years ago. It was the S... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Hi ramtubes,thank you for that and here’s a followup. If triodes are low impedance and OTLs like high impedance, what was Jon doing then when he switched the OTLs to triode?i can tell you that the amps sound better after the conversion, and they a... | |
| The Cartridge and Stylus makes a big difference. I think that you just don’t like the Benz. You should simply say so and let it go at that. No need to jump from there to saying that Benz must be doing something wrong. My Benz out of the box tracked fine, no technical issues. That said, I don’t u... | |
| Your Forever Pieces? What and Why? This is pretty easy for me as I’ve had most of my gear forever already. My keepers, with the number of years I’ve had them, are:IN USE40 years - Altec Lansing 604C - 16 ohm, 101 dB. The serial number dated them at 1954, so they are as old as I am.... |
