| What do you know and how do you like the RCA 5963 Black Plates? Don't know about the 5963 but I had all the different brands of the massive 805 set tubes, and the RCA Blacks were the best sounding.Cheers George | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... What WAS said was the SYSTEM sounds out of phase with the fuse installed in the improper direction. Now I’ve heard everything, total snake oil voodoo.These guys must be turning in their graves, at the stuff being spoken here. Laws of electronics ... | |
| The awful truth about CDs, do they have the same shelve life as LP's ? sfall Is it possible PS Audio’s customers buy their products because they use good parts, not cheap ones? Read carefully again sfall, I didn’t say they buy cheap parts. I said they’d save a considerable percentage on manufacturing costs by not h... | |
| The awful truth about CDs, do they have the same shelve life as LP's ? It’s in PS Audio’s interest not to have quality CD mechanisms in their products, as they are the only whole expensive mechanical parts they have to purchase and integrated into a cd player. If they didn’t have to do this manufacturing cost go down... | |
| The awful truth about CDs, do they have the same shelve life as LP's ? Basically you are calling Paul Mcgowan dumb because this is his statement. I’d maybe say yes without reading it, I have hundreds of original early 80’s releases not one has decayed, all as prefect now as they were then. This is sounds like just a... | |
| How old is too old for a Dac? How old is too old for a Dac? Age with this one (more than 16 years old), doesn't come into it. As it's still one of the most sought after dac ever for converting PCM (Redbook cd 16/44 or 24/96 or DXD).http://www.advancedaudiorentals.com/produc... | |
| The best tweeter design In your opinion, where does an HVFR (High Velocity Folded Ribbon) rank in the pecking order? To my understanding, second (to the Plasma at #1). Depending on lightness of the diaphragm, and the motor that drives it, I would perhaps rate it at No... | |
| The best tweeter design The best tweeter designBeen giving some thought on the best tweeter design and I came up with the following list:1) Plasma2) Ribbon3) Horn-loaded4) Diamond dome5) Ring radiator6) Inverted domeBut since 1-3 are hard to implement or expensive most... | |
| The best coupling caps in power amp ?? Mundorf, Infinicap ?? If you know which boutique company just re brands Solen caps, why not name them? Like I said do your homework, it’s not that hard they all have spec sheets.The mods would have a field day, with me being a manufacturer if I named someone.Look it u... | |
| Amplifiers and Dynaudio C2 signatures Looking at the C3 and C4 the impedance between 100hz and 250hz is around 3ohms, with a negative phase angle of -45 degrees, C2 could be the same. This makes them needy of an amp that can deliver a fair bit of current. Pass Labs = fine Krell e Seri... | |
| Why are the Infinity IRS, Reference 1b, Beta ect speakers passive on the mids and highs? 140Hz does seem a little low for the EMIM’s to go down to +1 agree you could kill them, I'd say more like 200 to 250hzCheers George | |
| Parallel SET with sufficient power Correction, they were Wilson W/P Sasha, even harder to drive than the WP 8's.Cheers George | |
| Parallel SET with sufficient power George, are you sure that TubeGuru amp actually has a 4 ohm tap? Hi Al, yes when I Googled those amps one of the forum/reviews? said to use the 4ohm tap for hard to drive speakers. And the feedback is adjustable from 0 to some 30db That’s what le... | |
| The best coupling caps in power amp ?? Mundorf, Infinicap ?? Do your homework, as you’ll find that one or two expensive "boutique" caps mentioned are very likely just re-branded Solens (which are far cheaper) compare diameter/length/lead length for the same uF and voltage and you will see why. Cheers George | |
| Parallel SET with sufficient power Sorry Ralph I was talking about driving the OP’s speakers with two low 3ohm impedances around 50hz and 150hz, my experiences and measurements on the same amp a 4 ohm tap output tap has a better chance of driving a speaker that dips to 3ohms in the... |
