| Bridging amps, Good idea or bad idea? The 840W is rated for 800W bridged into 4 ohms and the sub will help, particularly with an active xover. When you get close to the edge, even the wrong speaker cables can push it over. Depends on the speaker load... resistive, capacitive, impedanc... | |
| What is wrong with negative feedback? Ralph, this is the wrong place to ask, but would you care to answer the math as proposed by: http://www.transcendentsound.com/amplifier_output_impedance.htmJust trying to get a grasp on the "how". The other controversial article is not related to ... | |
| Pass X-250.5 or Plinius SA-103 Like both Pass and Plinius.The Plinius, with higher gain and input impedance, is more friendly to tube and passive "preamps". That and the swiss army knife versatility was my most deciding factors.Pass, especially the XA series, are almost overbui... | |
| Plinius SA-50 MKIII vs SA-103 Another option is trying to find (patiently) another SA-50 and using them as bridged/balanced monoblocks for a differential 200W each. That's what I did with SA-100's, along with XLR cables. Seems like more than the advertised 6dB gain increase.Th... | |
| What is wrong with negative feedback? Best thread EVER. | |
| Why I like my home system better than live music Never heard an amplified concert at any kind of venue that comes close to my setup in any way. Would be concerned if any PA system or any venue for dozens to thousands could. Close your eyes at those concerts and much of the magic disappears. Can'... | |
| What is wrong with negative feedback? Like this?http://www.wolcottaudio.com/WA_presence.htmAppreciate Wolcott's integrity. | |
| What is wrong with negative feedback? There's open loop (global) and closed loop (local). Few designs can be stable into low impedance loads without some feedback and, if you read carefully, some advertise "no global feedback" and sometimes forget a word. In the case of op-amps, it's ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? It's not balanced. It's not for me.Signed: The Nonvocal Majority. | |
| Amp not enough power OMG, Say it isn't true!How old is that? | |
| Active Crossovers - What really works? First questions are: What is the passive crossover of the speaker (DETAILS/ schematics?) and how do you intend to bypass it? Have you actually seen it? Most are a PCB. Is it a 2-way speaker? Do you know of any "tuning" or driver accommodation done... | |
| USB Cards to Replace Compact Discs? "Build it and they will come"The PS Audio PWD seems more like the way of the future, although I would have preferred the DLNA receiver in the transport for downstream DSP or HT.192 kHz format is just confusing things, like DVD-A and SACD, with dou... | |
| Genesis 200 Servo amp help? Late to the party, but the Genesis amp is 4 channel, so you would need two stereo amps. | |
| Distortion in amps;most/least annoying? Any kind of coloration. Enhanced mids, rolled-off highs....I don't need the the amps to interpret, filter or exaggerate , just amplify as honestly and competently as possible. It's not always pretty and it's easy to be tricked by a convincing liar. | |
| Music First Audio Passive Magnetic Preamplifiers? More overpriced than the Audio Consulting Silver Rocks? |
