| 4 ohm vs 8 ohm taps inpepinnovations@aol.com...You say quite plainly, "The tubes continue to see the primary winding impedence, whose impedence remains constant regardless of what impedence speaker is attached to whatever tap". It is not a question of misunderstandin... | |
| Do Audiophiles really like music? I have always enjoyed music, mostly classical, since before I had a phonograph (as audio systems were then called). But I have other interests, and one of them is messing around with electronics and loudspeakers. Hardly unexpected for an engineer.... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP Ecruz...What is a Squeezebox? | |
| 4 ohm vs 8 ohm taps .inpepinnovations@aol.com...An 8ohm speaker on the 8 ohm tap, and a 4 ohm speaker on the 4 ohm tap will look the same to the tubes driving the primary. (That's why different taps are provided). If the 8 ohm speaker is on the 4 ohm tap or the 4 ohm... | |
| 4 ohm vs 8 ohm taps inpepinnovations@aol.com...How can you say that a zero ohm load is "seen" through transformer coupling, but yet loudspeaker loads are not?In another area, when you use a step up transformer for your moving coil phono pickup it can be connected to ... | |
| Ring radiator tweeters - the future? The so called "tweeter" of the Magneplanar QR series, like my MG1.6QR, is not a physically separate driver, like the ribbon used in the MG3.6. It is just a section of the diaphram that has lighter conductors and can vibrate at higher frequency. In... | |
| Two Questions... Oh boy! You asked for it.Bose says that this system "Effortlessly blends with your décor". This is quite accurate, and if this is very important to you then you will be happy with the Bose system. | |
| THE LATEST---Gold plated fuses? Actually, gold plating on electrical contacts is a pretty routine way to avoid resistance due to corrosion. It ought to add not more than a few pennies to the price of the fuse. | |
| Ring radiator tweeters - the future? Gmood1...The Fostex FF225 appears to be much flatter out to about 12KHz, where it drops off completely. At the low end there is a rolloff starting around 200 Hz, but it is smooth and gradual and easily handled by equalization down to where a SW wo... | |
| Ring radiator tweeters - the future? .Gmood1...I assume the the Fostex F200 is what you use. Good choice. No whizzer. But look at the almost 10dB hump between 4 and 5 KHz. And how about off axis? And you can't really tell about the HF (15 to 20KHz) from a SPL measurement. Sure it put... | |
| Ring radiator tweeters - the future? Gmood1...Why do tweeters exist? Because drivers with large cones, necessary for LF reproduction, are lousy for HF. "Lousy" means irregular frequency response within the pass band (peaks and dips) and premature roll off, sometimes covered up by a k... | |
| 4 ohm vs 8 ohm taps inpepinnovations@aol.com...You have it backwards. The different taps of the transformer secondary make it possible for the tubes to see the same (high) impedance with different loads. Here is a way for you to test your theory. Short out the speake... | |
| Hearing loss and center image In the good old days preamps had a balance control...but I really don't think that making one speaker play louder than the other will help. Both ears hear both speakers (or are supposed to). I would suggest correcting the problem where it lies, in... | |
| 4 ohm vs 8 ohm taps inpepinnovations@aol.com...The primary impedance depends greatly on the secondary loading. If it didn't why would transformers have multiple taps? | |
| MC transformers - what do they sound like? Raul's system should be called "Shiva". All those arms! |
