| Help needed: bizarre voltage readings Cpclee,True or False:1)You measured this with ALL your components unplugged2)The receptacle (where you measured 122-0-0) was on a different circuit (off a diff breaker) from the outlet that measured 122-4-4.If 1 and 2 are both true, I have no idea... | |
| Time to change. But to what? Aud/Mimb that sounds like a good time. Please do post your findings. As a Dynaudio S5.4 owner (read: biased) I concur with your (audphile) findings. Very coherent across the range, stunning vocal clarity, accurate dynamics, shimmering highs that s... | |
| Cary Audio SLP 05 PreampWhat tubes are you using? Ozzyas to the range ...I know what you mean. I tried the slp-05 with my x250.5 and same problem...it's due to excessive gain in the system (pass ~30 dB gain, slp-05 ~8 dB gain) with typical ~5vrms balanced digital sources. The 8dB from the Cary is... | |
| Buzz about pure class A solid state amplifiers ? the "buzz" about class A amps usually results in popular discussions about crossover distortion...it's easier to imagine this voltage based boundary condition than, say thermal distortion mechanisms manifesting non-linearites which may actually do... | |
| what ARC combo- Ref 1/Ref 110 or Ref 3/VT 100 MK3? I second what audphile states (had ls15, ls25Mk I and II, and Ref1, and a VT 100mkII) and given above pairings, as Kschiu says, the Ref3 -> VT100MKIII would sound superb into the same speakers (assume either speaker can be drive effectively by ... | |
| class d this is actually becoming quite funny...these threads in general about tubes vs ss, bias class A vs bias class xxx, cd vs vinyl, linestage A vs linestage B, tube damper 1 vs tube damper 2...the similarities between such discussions and those of a ... | |
| Pure class A amplifiers = "slow" amplifiers? No. Some of the fastest rise times are from class A. So if this perceived slowness you think you hear from pure class a, its something else in the systemWhat i have experienced from class A/AB (Pass x250.5) and class A, sa102, is an incredibly dyn... | |
| class d good point Guido. I too have heard similar sounds from other operating classes. Yes I may have been too hasty in my post. It seems to me, however that one may need to spend more dollars to have a class d based system exceed the musicality of a fai... | |
| Bell Canto VS Pass Labs Mechans not only are the Pass mechanical cases beautiful, but they are necessary in order to close the loop on the thermal design. It's more than gilding the lily; it IS the Lily | |
| Bell Canto VS Pass Labs totally agree with Tvad. I had an x250.5 and an S300... the Pass was in a completely different league...The S300 while not the ref1000 is based on the same technology...even so even if the s300 i had was significantly better (as in ref1000) the Pa... | |
| great musician's audio systems It's official now:Albert Porter for president."We're not worthy...we're not worthy"Excellent story that brightened my day! | |
| Speakers: $3,000-$4,000 on Audiogon Bill,I know Tony sells Dynaudio. I was asking for his professional opinion. No big deal.Dave | |
| Speakers: $3,000-$4,000 on Audiogon TtowntonyDo you think, given my system, the S5.4s would be much better than the S3.4s? I am slightly concerned that the move to the 3 way s5.4 (from 2 way s3.4) while it does offer more extension, might lose that excellent midrange coherence, imme... | |
| How would you improve the sound of Squeezebox? Cerrot,It's more like (new dac1=1k, new bcdac3=2.5k, for 1.5k delta and used dac1=850,used bcdac3=1850, avg used for 1k delta ), and yes the diff is def worth it. In my system the dac1 was a bit on the analytical and dry side (If perhaps it's b/c ... | |
| How would you improve the sound of Squeezebox? currently running sb3 coax out via 1.5 meter 75 ohm canare digital cable into bel canto dac3...excellent results. Sometime ago I splurged and bought a wellborne labs high performance linear supply (did not want the stock switcher wall wart spewing... |
