| New Zu Mission cable Thanks Jedinite. I am thinking to get a 3M pair of ICs between my Dude preamp and Counterpoint NP100 amp. The Dude preamp has high output impedance and so cable capacitance is important.I'll give it a try since they have a 60 day trial period. | |
| New Zu Mission cable What gauge of wire is used in the Mission cable? What is its capacitance level in pF/ft?Thanks in advance. | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Bill,Did you switch to TRL's IC's? How do you like it? I am thinking to upgrade the IC's between Dude and the amp. It needs to be 3M long. Other Dude owners, please chime in too. Thanks.I sent my Dude back to TRL for power supply upgrade. It is ex... | |
| Can I use EL34 tubes on KT88 amps? I sent email to Melody last week but have not received any response so far. The owner's manual does not mention anything about alternative tube choices either. | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Did you use any power line conditioner? | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp I use the LessLoss power cord for European Union. | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp Long time no chat, Bill. Do your Marconi tubes have smoke glass or clear glass? Mine have smoke glass. They sound a bit too sweet and thick to my ears. I still prefer RCA clear glass variants. | |
| Interconnect Inductance vs. Capacitance Hello again. Sorry that I was away with my other new toy...I was a beta tester for a cable maker and tested about 10 versions of his ICs. This guy is quite interesting. He told me that he would never share any findings from his IC experiments with... | |
| Interconnect Inductance vs. Capacitance You were right, Al, as Thevenin was on your side. :-)It is the parallel of the two resistors that determines the output impedance. Good memory!!Cheers! | |
| Interconnect Inductance vs. Capacitance The interactions between human and machine are always fascinating to me. A lot of them are beyond textbooks. Shadorne's example of dynamic and lively sound is a good one. I am not sure what electric characteristics can be used to describe it. I al... | |
| Interconnect Inductance vs. Capacitance Thanks Al for the comments. Let me further clarify two points.If you think 6dB attenuation is not enough, a higher level of attenuation will actually lower the 3dB freq. A higher level of attenuation means that you will have a larger R value in se... | |
| Interconnect Inductance vs. Capacitance Thanks all for the great comments. I understand that the capacitance and the inductance are not the whole picture for most high-end audio gears. Like what I said earlier, I have a preamp that uses a 100K attenuator at the output and I need 10 ft o... | |
| Interconnect Inductance vs. Capacitance Regarding the 500K input impedance, a common-cathode tube input stage can indeed have high input impedance levels. If you measure the resistance between the grid and the cathode of a tube, it is in the order of several mega ohms or higher. To lowe... | |
| Interconnect Inductance vs. Capacitance A gap between theory and reality is that there is no theory (that I am aware of) explaining how human being would perceive various specs in high end audio. I have never seen any EE courses relating human perception and technical specs in any lengt... | |
| HOW DOES MC402 SOUND WITHOUT PREAMP? The Marantz SA11-S1 does not have volume control. The volume control buttons on the remote are not for controlling its output volume. |
