| Class A multi-channel amp? Why? Do you need to heat your house? Or maybe build up your biceps.Seriously, putting even two Class A amps on a single chassis doesn't make sense. | |
| Discontinued components that you wish the manufact DBX LPs, and the processor required to play them. This would make vinyl really live up to all the hype you see on this site. | |
| To Biwire or not to biwire Of course I meant "bi-wire" not 'bi-amp" (although I do that also).For some reason I can't find the option that allows one to correct a posting. | |
| To Biwire or not to biwire I have identified one theoretical reason why biwire may be helpful, Forget about the Hot speaker wire: look at the return. The return terminals of the woofer and tweeter are tied together, and then returned to ground through the non-zero impedance... | |
| EL 34 based amplifier recommendations As I recall from long ago, EL34's were used in amps of 40 watts or less. (I had a 35 wpc Eico that used them). If you want 150 watts, I think you are into multiple pairs of KT-88, or the like. | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 You probably have less problems with feedback phasing around one stage (local) than across the entire circuit. So in the real world, local feedback may be less problematical than global feedback, even if the net total dB is the same. In an ideal w... | |
| Surround Channel Speaker Recommendations For movies you can probably make just about anything work. However if you are interested in high quality multichannel music, identical speakers/amps are important for best results.The official multichannel party line is that dipole speakers are a ... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 If the feedback signal were perfect with regard to gain and phase it could only improve the overall performance of the amp. High amounts of feedback become a problem when the feedback is less than perfect, either because of circuit design or real-... | |
| Its all in the DAC? How does "grainy" sound? | |
| Stuck in a Rut To avoid boredom with classical music, buy several discs of the same piece. Brahms and Tchaikovsky violin concertos are a good place to start. An interesting feature of classical music is that you can find many recordings of some of the great piec... | |
| Pioneer DV-47ai vs Denon DVD-2900 Universal I just replaced a Pioneer DV45A player with the Denon DVD2900. With regard to audio quality, the 45A and the 47A share the same electronics, and probably sound about the same. (The 47AI has better video, and some other bells and whistles, for abou... | |
| Center channel Just to clarify my view about center channels (as if everyone doesn't know by now) I am a big advocate of center channel speakers, and have been since long before discrete multichannel sources were available. However, part of my argument is that t... | |
| Center channel No, but you can tell your DVD player and SS processor that you don't have a center channel speaker, and it will mix the center channel sounds into the front left and right. Because MMG image well, you will be in good shape. | |
| What ratio of power in tri-amp system ? Sounds like you already have amps and speakers. I suggest that you play some music, various selections, the way that you intend, and measure the voltages being applied to the high, mid, and LF drivers. This will tell you which speaker is using the... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Gmood1...Negative feedback just means that the amp output is compared with the input, with appropriate gain and phase compensation, and the resulting "error signal" is applied to the input (or at some intermediate stage) so as to reduce the error ... |
