| Output tube radiation exposure - thoughts? over 10,000 volts and there is risk of Xrays.I use a number a different type Mercury Rectifiers in my audio system. Some of the inserts that come in some of the tube boxes will warn you about the use if over 10,000 volts. You can find some data on... | |
| New or Old DAC Should also mention that 99% of Digital gear will use switching power supplies which are known to induce noise and are very dirty as far as power suppies go. A Space Tech Dac "DOES NOT" use switching power suppies, it uses a Linear Power Supply! | |
| New or Old DAC "Remember, no one puts tubes, fancy caps or resistors in the digital to analog convertor, these premium parts go in the analog output stage." Perhaps you should have said. Remember, no one puts tubes, fancy caps or resistors in the digital to anal... | |

| Preamp inverts phase question: Dopogue: I get the point about recording, but we can't do anything about what's already done, so why worry. We can control the way are gear is hooked up though, that's the point and what the OP was asking about. | |
| Preamp inverts phase question: :-) lol Jmcgrogan2 wrote "One more option could be an inverted source. An inverted source with an inverted preamp and a non-inverting amp would also produce absolute phase.To make it simple, think of absolute phase as a '+' and inverted phase as a... |
