| Rectifying bridge. Bear, Thanks for the info about the fast recovery type adding noise. What about Hexfred's vs Schottky's for an SS preamp or power amp ? Sean> | |
| High Sensitvity = good transient response ? Twl: Please forgive me for doing my impersonation of Sgt Joe Friday i.e. "Just the facts" : ) Sean> | |
| High Sensitvity = good transient response ? Twl, have you ever looked at the distortion levels of many "nice" sounding tube amps as power increases ? The distortion curves vs power output are not very linear to say the least. A good example of this can be found in a earlier review of a BAT ... | |
| Why do my albums sound better at the end??? My thoughts tend to run in the same direction that SF and Viridian have already voiced. Out of curiosity though, are you using a record clamp ? What type of platter mat are you using ? Sean> | |
| Maggie 3.6 amplification concern I don't know how the Z-man works and these comments are not meant to pass judgement on that device. However, the Musical Fidelity X-10D is a device that is designed to add even order harmonic distortion to the signal. This is done via the use of a... | |
| High performance electric outlets Alan, thanks for the info. I personally found it very informative. Just a few more questions if you don't mind : )Do you know what the physical differences between the 8300 and 5362 are ? Have you ever had an 8300 cryo'd ? If so, what were the dif... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? Jt, rather than clog up your inbox and have to make several individual replies, how about posting your comments here ? I for one would like to know what you have gotten such good results with, especially since both I and my Brother along with seve... | |
| Bi-amping, "What amps would you use" Greg & Trandanny: I am using a vertical line array of very small surface area E-stat panels for tweeters. The line array offers better vertical dispersion and offers sustained output into the farfield. This helps to overcome some of the limiti... | |
| Bi-amping, "What amps would you use" Actually Greg, i would be "dodeca-amping" as i have twelve active channels being driven. To make things understandable, i have six stereo amps set up as monoblocks with all 12 of their channels being used. In other words, i have both channels of A... | |
| Electrostatic speaker cables... Bear: Velocity of propagation of cables IS quite pertinent in RF applications if you want to do things "right". Using cables cut to random lengths without factoring in the velocity factor can introduce errant vswr readings and alter the load imped... | |
| High performance electric outlets I think it is pretty obvious that Artistic Audio finds the Furutech outlets to be of very high quality and recommends them. As to whether or not they are a dealer for such item, only they know the answer to that. At least they were honest enough t... | |
| Rectifying bridge. Sorry about that Bear. A "6A4" is a 6 amp 400 volt diode. In the particular situation that i'm using these in, the design calls for a "one way valve" in series with the modulated rail voltage feeding an rf output section. These voltages run up som... | |
| What is the cause of Mosfet Mist or Veiling? Kudo's to Ralph. How often do you see a manufacturer pat a competing manufacturer / technology on the back with the highest of praise and do it by name in public ? While i know that the Atma's are tube based and the Gamut is SS / Mosfet, I think t... | |
| Best spkr cable for biwiring bass drivers? At what frequency do the woofers crossover at ? Sean> | |
| High performance electric outlets Stehno: Can you provide a link for info on the "Woodhead" products ?Francisco and Dan: I would start with the basics. That is, try replacing the breakers in your breaker box. Breakers deteriorate with age, so start at the source. Next up would be ... |
