| Looking to boost my 12v relay I doubt the extra 10 ma will make a difference to the preamp. You could measure the DC resistance of the amp trigger input and verify how much it will actually draw at 12 volts. | |
| 12v Trigger connection for Pass Labs X150.5 It doesn't matter how many amps the 12 volt supply CAN produce. What you draw will only be 5 ma. | |
| Subsonic Rumble Solutions The pumping woofer does not just use up available amplifier power. It gives rise to "Dopler distortion" because the advancing and retreating cone is also reproducing higher frequencies, which are modulated by the cone movement.Get a rumble filter.... | |
| Using CD player without Preamp? Kr4...There you said it!! "If the VC is digital (and, therefore, loses data when attenuated)...". Maybe you could explain how data is lost. It doesn't have to be so.If the data was left shifted the LSB would indeed be lost, but the remaining bits ... | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment Tbg...."Zero errors" means exactly that. The copied digital file is an exact duplicate of the original. Science is sometimes proven wrong when it extends into new areas. Not often, but frequently enough to provide ammunition for debates like this.... | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment Tbg...Yes, but all you would prove is that each disc was copied without error, but they could be different discs.What is needed is software that will compare two files that have been read into the computer as you suggest, one file before disc trea... | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment Agreed this is a very civil discussion. By the way, my idea for a bit-by-bit comparison of digital files was not to suggest that such a test would have anything to do with sonic quality, which is a subjective thing. I look on such a test as a pre-... | |
| Preamp gain question Of course the real problem is too much gain in the phono preamp stage. Attenuation should be done there, not at the output. Some preamps can have their gain easily adjusted with a jumper. If your preamp does not have jumper provision for gain adju... | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment Douglas_schroeder and Tbg...Note my words..." but this kind of comparison is difficult, and highly subjective...". Implied here is that there might have been a change (improvement?) but if so it was not great enough for me to notice vs what I hear... | |
| Subsonic Rumble Solutions Ptmconsulting... Your "beautiful analogue signal" has probably been generated out of a digital mixing consile :-( | |
| Company loyalty- What has been your favorite? Dyna-Kit, later Dynaco, of fond memory. Those were the days when a poor college kid could afford a SOTA system. | |
| Preamp gain question Magfan...All volume control pots these days are log taper. Linear would give ridiculous results. Actually, Log taper is a poor substitute for Audio taper which was used in the good old days. Evidently the low demand for Audio taper pots caused man... | |
| Best Audio DVD Universal Player Arcam, Denon...? I just got an Oppo 980H because my Denon 2900 with mods needs repair. $169.00 plus shipping. It is frighteningly good! If your need is audio, and video is of less importance, the 980H is actually preferable to the 983H, at least that's what Oppo t... | |
| Subsonic Rumble Solutions Rumble, due to turntable vibration or recorded in the vinyl has always been my second gripe about LPs, the first being HF surface noise. CDs have taken care of this problem.Imagine my surprise to get a CD of theatre organ music (from Organ Stop Pi... | |
| CD player connected directly to Amplifier? Stanwal...You say... "If the player was made to drive a power amp directly..."How do you do that? The output stage of any audio equipment like a cd player is designed to drive some input impedance of the next equipment. If you check I think you wi... |
