| Some tables have soul and some not I've read recent newz on Z-NN that any turntable that playz FZ muzik eventually get it. | |
| No, You Cannot Bi-Amp Sonic benefits:TransparencyDynamic Headroom is not jeopardised by either descrepancies of amplifiers or decreased input amplification impedanceTonal balanceNegatives:1. 2 cheaper lower powered amps can have more power than one nicer more pricey am... | |
| Is upgrading worth it? Upgrades should be done so your collection is more listenable than with 1970 Marantz receiver. | |
| First Test for tube bias on ARC Ref 110? Yup, Why not? Autobias will substantially decrease tube demand on the market. Microstrip speaks nothing but the standard marketting words to make an amp cheaper. How much the price of the unit will increase by introducing common Cathode resistor o... | |
| Captive turntable interconnects; should I modify?? Gbart,I believe that replacing captive wires would do substantially better job than non-captive. You're eliminating an extra connection on the signal path to go directly to the phono amp. | |
| Captive turntable interconnects; should I modify?? Gbart,Yr pic of the mod does not load. | |
| First Test for tube bias on ARC Ref 110? Cmalak,Why do you thing that it's done by "added microprocessors and digital circuitry"?1. Autobiasing is done in DC domain and does not affect the signal no matter what kind of components are being used vacuum, solid-state or ICs.2. Autobiasing c... | |
| Good ADC and PC Sound Card Research new Mytek 192 products for ADC. You may also go with their DAC and use it as sound card depending on your budget. I mainly oriented budget towards your integrated so both components stay around $2500 with latest digital technologies. You ... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not Balanced isn't only 3-pin. It could also be 5-pin stereo-balanced. If the phonostage is fully balanced(recall Violectrik), you can rewire tonearm for 5-pin stereo-balanced transmission. So aside from marketing, our cartridges/arms are balanced by ... | |
| Captive turntable interconnects; should I modify?? The rewireing services might worth the same funds as turntable.DIY rewire will save half.There are many options:Stay as-is (probably highest ROI)Incognito wire set (Best value)Transparent wire set (Best performance, but high price)Cardas wire set ... | |
| How Do You Pronounce Thiel? Duckling becomes duck. | |
| Stax headphone amp with non-Stax headphones. WOW,Thanks all,The Stax connector is the same as 5-pin stereo-balanced connector with "slight" difference:-)I've seen some balanced headphone amps with the same 5-pin connector | |
| Stax headphone amp with non-Stax headphones. It's 5-pin balanced connector with shared ground that is used in Stax amps. Every amp is designed for a specific load(impedance). I would doubt that impedance of electrostatic headphones is in the single digits(aka ideal for iPod) | |
| First Test for tube bias on ARC Ref 110? inclusion of self-biasing circuit only improves sound. | |
| First Test for tube bias on ARC Ref 110? Convenience vs. sound quality I guess is at the core of their thinking. That is my best guess at their thinking.It's the best phrase to cut corners, but reality is different. |
