| How important is S/N Ratio....? Electron flow = current.....that's what I thought... | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? Just for those interested I found some info....."Ordinarily, when the electrons flow through common conductors such as an electrolyte, a manganese dioxide, an organic semiconductor and so on, non-linear distortions generate corresponding to each c... | |
| Why not more DIY talk/equipment on the 'Gon? The biggest majority are at DIY Audio and some at Audio Karma.I myself think that good equipment can sound better by upgrading.....saves money and it's a lot of fun...good luck on your projects. | |
| 6sn7 and 5u4 tubes If you can find some CV1988 Brimars....one of the best usually go for around 100 a piece. | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? You guys are funny....jet plane takeoffs... | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? Kijanki.....Let me clear that up....my tech Fred does all this work for me.....We have been friends since 1975. Fred has been doing this professionally for 40 years. | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? Kijanki.....thanks for the warning.....I am lucky as I have one of the best techs in the country 10 minutes away. | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? Wonderful.....I am no tech...but this amp has pull out CB's so the recapping was not that involved...the thing that was a challenge was fitting the low esr power caps. The solder issue you mention is better left to those that make their living...d... | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? -135 db down is meaningless only when....there is no sonic difference discernable....but when I add two low noise PSU capacitors and 10 ultra low noise caps to a SS amplifier and the sound is unmeasurably better...I guess the poor guys that spend ... | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? It's pretty easy to agree....on this once I clarify...now we can get our hands around this...I must say just recapping wasn't actually my point....It was the quantum leap when using these ultra low noise devices... | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? Alexander....join the party....this seems to be not such a hot topic.....but let me put this in terms of my real experience..After years of spending thousands on cables and other tweaks....to improve the noise floor....and it did remove grunge....... | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? Shadorne....."Agreed but I think several replies here are simply trying to say that the link is not as strong as you suggest. Otherwise people with analog gear (vinyl or tape) would be very unhappy - and they are not! Distortion and Signal to Nois... | |
| how much would you say a good set up cost If your lucky you purchased good stuff before pricing took off...3k speakers...preamp 800....amp 800..CD player 1500 tuner 1200.......that was 20-30 years ago and it still cuts the mustard.....though some has been re-capped. I have spent 5 figures... | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? So the consensus so far is......Signal to Noise ratio.....is meaningless...inconsequetial to the sound of your amplifier...Sorry I don't buy it...true there might be ten ways to measure it....so confusion abounds....but when a lower S/N level can ... | |
| How important is S/N Ratio....? " If you have equivalently low levels of noise but when music is playing you have within it some correlated noise that follows with the music (harmonically or IMD related) then this gear will sound much worse (even if they both share the same "on ... |
