| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? @georgehifi And the service Pass service manual for both revisions...https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://forum.vegalab.ru/attachment....As you can clearly see, the gain stage isn't on its own ladder. | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? I've looked at most of the schematics Pass has posted or published. Typically when he means to leave something out he posts a "simplified" schematic, such as you see currently for the F7. All the actual schematics in his owners and service manuals... | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? @markalarsen Not real impressive psycho-babble. Go give yourself a cookie. I've been digging around inside digital gear for about 25 years, reading the specs, tweaking it, and pushing it the it's limits to see what I can get out of it. I know exac... | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? @markalarsen Oh did you!?!?! And I'm obliged the answer, am I? You're kidding, right? | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? I looked at the most recent service manual from Pass. It's got both revisions. The original has no such direct connection. The revised design really only attenuates the gain below the line level. The gain stage isn't on its own discreet ladder. | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Looking at the schematic, I'm not sure it's not buffered by the gain stage to a degree. The entire length of the resistor ladder is fed by the MOSFET with the direct source line tapping into the ladder at RV6. It looks like the ladder just attenua... | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? Jim204, it's been well explained here that no Ethernet cable does what you claim it does. If you want to ignore the truth and imagine something else, proceed with caution and just accept that what your hearing has no basis in commonly observable r... | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? Dear Clearthink,You clearly mistake me for somebody else. No, nobody owes anybody proof. But when they make statements all truth disagrees with, then they shouldn't be offended when they're called liars. | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? @markalarsen and Clearthink:Damn straight you have to prove it. I'm not delusional about the nature of my hearing and I know it's not a measurement apparatus. I acknowledge the factors that might effect my hearing, including hearing the exact same... | |
| soldering iron Avoid the wet sponge if at all possible. That delaminates your tips. Get a metal tip cleaner instead. They're like $4. | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? @shadorne There are more effective ways of giving your output devices a "safe space" from the big, bad outside world of reactive loads that stunting their ability to control the load. I think Atmasphere would agree, the signature characteristics o... | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? @geoffkait I love how you constantly use the oxy-moronic term "pseudo skeptic" to describe me. What’s that mean anyways? I really believe your snake oil? It’s about the stupidest conjugation of terms one could invent. For the record I’m most defin... | |
| Ethernet Cables, do they make a difference? @markalarsen That's your understanding of scientific method, huh? Invent a theory. Invent a test that validates the theory. Theory proven. Uh.... No, that is not how this works. Clearly he developed something quite flawed. | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses Again, my points are refuted by pure ignorance. I'm being challenged on the question of whether serotonergic drugs effect perception. That is a scientific question so completely settled it's not even funny. I cited LSD because it's effects are dra... | |
| JBL everest? I'm not sure I've ever come across anybody who owns any. Not in this forum or anywhere else. The last big showing of them was roundly panned for how bad they sounded as I recall. |
