| Anybody used Nikko amps before? The output devices on the 220, 230, 440, 450, etc, are built out of long extinct unobtanium.I’ve no idea what is inside the alpha 1.Its the turn on surge when you hit the switch... as the feedback loop of the amplifier attempts to stabilize the am... | |
| Anybody used Nikko amps before? They are all good amplifiers, overall. They are also old by any reach of that word (audio amplifier dog years) and require a full on re-capping. The biggest problem with them is they pop at turn on. Basically no sign there is anything getting clos... | |
| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! That would be from the 'standard' line of cables. The only XLR we make, at this time. There is no GC XLR cable. If it was in existence, it would be a GC cable in name only, as each design is unique for it's quality range and application. I'm relu... | |
| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! The cable of the subject of this thread, the GC, in it’s design, is very robust. But like anything, it will break if mishandled. When I say mishandled, I mean mistreated. The very first cables made, almost 10 years ago, are still functional, and w... | |
| Teo Game-Changer IC's - get on the bus! Hello,The cables will not work with phono level signals, MC or MM. They are unshielded.One tends to experience considerable hum. (speaking politely). The liquid metal is unlike solid metals, and this brings about some seemingly counter intuitive ... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? Dr. Herbert Melcher has shown that the brain has tipping points. Normally music is processed by the limbic centers; this is where toe tapping and other emotional reactions come from. When things go awry with the sound, the brain seamlessly transf... | |
| Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio Someone cue Aesop.The whole thing’s a bit of a Turkey, and it’s all Greek to me. You’d have to visit an oracle -or at least fall down into a Big Sleep near one at a cliffside holiday inn- in order to navigate these scenarios.(sorry, could not re... | |
| Cowboy Junkies Live this evening...streaming for free! Still available free, as a taped playback, just so readers of this thread know. | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? I really enjoyed Sabbath’s Paranoid on 8 track, when I was ~7. does that count? ;)Also had ’Live at Folsom Prison’ on 8-track. Let’s sing along now: ’Early next mornin’ at a half-past 9, took a shot of cocaine and away I run....."The graduation fr... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? Really not sure about that statement. Lots of very old-school assumptions embedded there. I’d say ’consciousness’ is a lot older and deeper than just humans, and long a key to "species survival." Personally my take away is that you are saying thi... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? I’m not an expert in the technical language or the exact descriptors, so my descriptions will be fraught with errors, misconveyed meaning, etc.. But the shape of the issue or considerations involved in this, can be seen. Look at the what is outlin... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? Industry wise, source wise, we’re looking at the takeover of the market by the one hit wonder. A one hit wonder that will likely become a multimillionare overnight from said one hit.The current leaderboard example of this coming trait, is in that ... | |
| Converting KEF 107/2 KUBE to balanced The circuit would have to be rebuilt in it’s input and output characteristics.The simplest way would be to have transformers or active opamps on the input and output.The circuit internal to the box is single ended, and it is of a equalization netw... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? The question is not yet complete, so we will likely not find the correct answer.We are not finished defining the psychoacoustics of how the ear works - what the ear expects and needs to enable it to decode and identify a quality signal.Engineering... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... ok. Ye olde less is more, is the lesson. Have a good one, see youse folks in some other thread. :)(one more thing, thanks for the post about outliers in the one thread, it was amusing but the guy is also a very nice person, so a mixed bag.... like... |
