| Speaker phase observation and question? Hi @almarg Looking at my answer, I see that I tip toed around your question, this still isn't a complete answer, but contributing...We look at phase angles varying by impedance, so yes, if we change crossover points or slopes, we can affect pha... | |
| Speaker phase observation and question? Thanks Al for your kind words, you are always a gentleman. Remember, I was discussing how it affects phase/polarity...For phase angles, an amplifier is feeding a signal to a speaker, as you know, a speaker can vary wildly in impedance load by f... | |
| Coda Tech Amplifier The Coda stuff out in the past 5 years or so is anything but cool... I'd say very neutral, but it leans warm... I've heard:Unison 3.1 IntegratedCoda CL, CP, 07X Preamps15.0, 15.5, CS AmplifiersThere certainly is a flavor that shows their Threshold... | |
| Speaker phase observation and question? Hi Guys, most of you know that I've been building speakers for 35 + years... Overall this is a great thread.. I noticed a couple of comments of phase angles.. Kalali mentioned that they are very different.Phase angles show us how current rides wi... | |
| Help me build speaker cables please! I've done the cat 5 with Teflon plenum, overall sound surprisingly nice... very high capacitance, you would need to be aware of that when using these... As far as silver solid core in Teflon, I'm sure that you are aware that silver can get bright... | |
| Mundorf MKP Audiophiler or ClarityCap ESA ? @erik_squires Hi Erik, Just thinking about your last comment.... I can easily see how a cap could do something with one speaker and not another. Or vice versa, not do something.... Depending on how a cap reacts to Load, frequency, and its own... | |
| Mundorf MKP Audiophiler or ClarityCap ESA ? @erik_squires Hi Erik, I consider the MKP to be on par with the better of the cheap solens... Solens ar PA/PB/PPE before you get the silver or film & foil... I do like the MKP's better than the PA or PB, but ever so slightly prefer the PPE... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Hi Ralph, Having an integrated with a preamp section as wonderful as yours with a Class D output done right would be a match that would produce big sales.... Just putting that out there, but I'm sure that you know that. Good Luck Brother, I... | |
| Pass Labs XA30.5 in my system? @timlub, could you please explain what you mean by "sliding bias Class A" in case of XA30.5? I think I have seen in one your posts the headroom of XA30.5 is 4dB. Could you please confirm if this is correct?In a Pure Class A amplifier, the outputs... | |
| Pass Labs XA30.5 in my system? This amp is a bit deceiving... it is called a 30 watt Pure Class A amplifier... It is not, It is a sliding bias Class A, but it does put out a Full 30+ watts of Class A before switching to A/B..... I'm sure the spec is published somewhere, but I... | |
| Clarity Cap CMR Impressions Hi @audioman58, I've been reading this thread. I agree with you that an electronic crossover with room correction is often a revelation in system improvement. I think the reason that you aren't getting response is that this thread is specifi... | |
| Pass Labs Well, you guys have gotten me to jump, I’ve been reading this thread as it progresses and of course, I’m an audiophile and have an opinion about all of it. So first... mega buck product? Over the years, I’ve been in business as a manufacturer, a m... | |
| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? Sumo made some pure Class A amps, but none of the power rating discussed here. I believe 3 different designers.... Sumo The Nine and The Gold 60 watts and 100 watts by Jim Bonjiorno Sumo Nine Plus updated from Nine by Rich May 65 watts (Nine is... | |
| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? Most folks around here know that the boys at Coda were Threshold designer engineers... Threshold is the company that Nelson Pass sold before starting Pass Labs... The Coda stuff definitely has the Pass characteristics and run very high levels of C... | |
| Pass Labs Its cheap compared to other high end amp because everyone is pushing the envelope of what they can get away with..... The problem is that they can't sell many amps today. There has to be a point of staying in existence....If every manufacturer co... |
