What is this sound power I keep hearing about this week on Audiogon? It seems new and interesting. Oh look, donuts ...

Please Read and express your feelings and opinions....
I noticed that lately or maybe for the last five yrs, there is so much arguments,name calling, attacking cables , speakers , components makers and more, more of disagreement with members, even Audio dealers are being attack here...Very few know how to apologize when they are wrong.What can we do as Audiogon members to improve our communication to each other? How to give the informations, recommendation to members who need it? This is without involving Audiogon, any opinion or ideas , For me this is fun and place to learn in audio...thank you all

Back to the discussion of zero feedback tube amps. I agree that they may sound good with certain speakers. The EAR 890 with 70 watts Class A power nearly oscillate when paired with Legacy Focus speakers with their low and non-linear impedance curve. However, the EAR 890 sounded just fine on the Legacy Signature IIIs which have a smoother curve and 1 ohm higher bass impedance. Same pre-amp and CD sources, wiring and cabling. Geoff-I demagnetize all CDs prior to play with the Walker Talisman. It's easy and it works for me. The other tweaks I haven't tried or have an interest in. |
@almarg My comment was seconded in that thread by Erik_Squires, who is particularly knowledgeable and experienced in speaker design. You are far too kind. I’m not as knowledgeable as many others, and I certainly make my share of public mistakes. I hope that despite this I leave plenty of room for people to enjoy what they enjoy without imposing my own biases. I’m sure after this endorsement I’ll suffer a relentless series of public mistakes to make up for it. I will say that I often use XSim to double check my math. Speaker building is not my day job and I am far rustier than I used to be on this, so whenever I’m in doubt, I whip up a sample circuit, and pull up the relevant charts to validate my work. I encourage others to do the same, and frankly, if you have speaker building (or even mere speaker wiring) questions, take your questions and XSim schematics over to DIYAudio: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/ where the XSim author, Bill Waslo, and many many other more knowledgeable and opinionated speaker builders hang out. I daresay you’ll find many there who know more than me, but certainly not any with stronger opinions! :) Best, E |
