| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. Absolute phase is audible but the majority of listeners are unaware of the phenomenon or have heard it and deemed it insignificant, probably the same ones who can't hear cable differences.Absolute phase is when the leading pressure wave reaches t... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. The Sigma Delta architecture has to my ears a sound that gives digital a bad reputation. I own a Wadia 15 which uses the fabulous Burr Brown PCM63 and considering what I paid for this second hand I am surprised more folks don't snap them up.The T... | |
| What area or country do you live in ? @ jkatze what part of SA you in. Lived on my sailboat in Durban Bay for 32 years. Now in County Limerick, Ireland. Audio very quiet here. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Hi WC, My system when its working consists of Oppo, Wadia15 DAC, self-built tube pre amp, ML23.5 power amp and OB speakers which I built using cheap 15" driver with concentrically mounted compression driver, efficiency at about 95dB.I say 'when i... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! WC, that was posted before I had finished. Was saying try a few as they all sound a little different. The Western Electric 274B is reputed to be the best but because of the crazy price I have never tried one.A question for you. My treasured Mark L... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Hi WC,If the Lampizator uses a 5U4G for rectification you can drop in a 5R4GY. It draws less current for the filament so no problems there. I used these in rotation and like them both but used the later more. The 5R4GY has a slightly lighter, more... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat @oregonpapa,Hi, as I mentioned in my post I am busy renovating so at the moment there is nothing really for me to try the TC on. All kit is packed away because it is like a sand storm inside the house when I am grinding and chasing walls and concr... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @ bigddesign3 @ron17Thanks for the acknowledgement re room treatment.I can understand when someone has really good sound finding it difficult or impossible to conceptualise the room playing such a big role in the resultant sound. To the point whe... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat Hi All, I recently ordered and received one of the 'bundles' on offer. This was over the Christmas period and expecting some delay because I now live in Ireland, was most pleasantly surprised when the postman arrived a week later with my parcel.Du... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I typed a long follow-up but lost it somehow. Will try and keep this short. Next is to stop sound bouncing uncontrolled between the side walls. Absorption panels built similar to the ceiling absorber are good at the first reflection points. The O... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Hi WC,I have noted the response to your asking for acoustic advice. I am afraid that most of it so far is not only useless but will make things worse.To treat a room, and all rooms need treatment, the three axes need absorption to reduce reverb/ec... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat @ oregonpapa, I don't always agree with your posts but your frequent links to what you consider great music is impressive and tells me that you are a lover of music as opposed to some where the actual performance takes second place to the componen... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! @ vibrator6 Dear vibes I admire you and we are going to miss you here. We will miss your generously and selflessly self appointed position as audio consultant, well more audio insultant IMO. We will miss your incessant verbal flatulence riding ro... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Hi Roger,Am I glad I found this helpful thread. I have a Mark Levinson 23.5 amp that hums.The hum is loud and stays constant in amplitude regardless of the position of the volume control. I am driving it with an Aikido linestage that I built and ... | |
