| Is Speaker design evolution stagnant Well, I'd say a big reason is cost. Most systems are 3 way and you're talking about needing 3 stereo amps to do the job. Most folks don't want to spend even the cost of their speakers on amps. I doubt too many folks with $100,000 speakers have muc... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? @georgehifi There's no "likely" about resistors having an effect. They absolutely do. And usually their physical size is a strongly determining factor. Those optos you like probably have a few pF of capacitance. | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? Resistors have all that stuff too! Especially the giant piles of them in resistor ladders! I'm not stalking you. You say silly things that are clearly incorrect again and again and again and propose flawed solutions as if they're perfect while mak... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? Could somebody remind me what a resistor is? Oh yeah! They're usually windings of long, thin conductor! | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? @analogluvr You and millions of others! | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? @analogluvr I'd say the answer is clearly no.. No reason to believe they ever will. | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? Yet every single Pass pre-amp has at least about 10dB of gain... It's like he doesn't even take his own advice! | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? @georgehifi It's just a fact that operating gain devices deep into their linear region yields better performance. It's a byproduct of that fact that they also have the ability to output high power. | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? Huh.... looks like the Aleph L runs runs 30 volt rails to get upwards of 10 volts output. With...... MOSFETs!If no amp ever made required more than 2 volts to utilize it's full power, why's Nelson Pass build nothing but pre-amps that give you at l... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? @mrdecibel He doesn't know what he's talking about. No good amp designer builds an amp that really peters out at it's rated power. You overbuild the amp, set the gain conservatively, and then brag how your amp gets .00X% distortion at "rated power... | |
| Looking for straight talk on Focal Sopra No 2 speakers No such problems with my cheaper 936's and I've got about 2 years in with them. | |
| MAC Autoformers? Lots of amps use autoformers. It's just another kind of transformer. I completely agree with Stan. The entire point of the autoformers in a Mac amp are to allow the gain devices to behave in as linear a manner as possible by relieving them of the ... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Nelson Pass wrote a pretty clear article on all this jazz. He actually measured stuff. | |
| Power Rating: Onkyo vs Yamaha The Yamaha is clearly the superior unit. If that’s the distortion it makes driving 60 watts into 8 ohm, it’s certainly less at 30 watts. Probably half the distortion in fact. That’s the general behavior of push-pull topologies. And if you’re drivi... | |
| CDs Vs LPs Dynaquest4,The terms LP, EP, and single have no connection to vinyl records aside from describing the size of the object. Using your logic, the CD is the new LP since long play albums basically expected to utilize the space a CD offers. I could ju... |
