| XLR to RCA to XLR FWIW...Steve McCormack uses Jensen transformers in his VRE-1, and I assume in his Flex-Connect unit as well. He's extremely particular and thorough in his evaluation of parts, so I have to assume he's done his homework and has concluded the Jensen... | |
| XLR to RCA to XLR FYI, Jensen Transformers PI-XX or PI-2XX can be custom ordered in any configuration one requires. Dbphd purchased my PI-XX, which were custom ordered with XLR inputs and RCA outputs. One could order RCA>XLR, RCA>RCA, or XLR>XLR. Whatever ... | |
| Top rated passive preamps SMc Audio VRE-1C (or VRE-1, or VRE-1B - all are earlier iterations of the same essential design).Not a pure passive preamp by definition. A hybrid really...but with the purity of a passive. | |
| Burning question about two VAC amps and dead tubes Contact Audiogon member Trelja. | |
| XLR to RCA to XLR Try Jensen ISOMAX PI-XR XLR to RCA transformers. I have two you may try.Contact me at flam61@roadrunner.com if interested. | |
| Pubul57- audiophile, philosopher, and friend Paul's posts were passionate and reasoned. One could learn a great deal from his practical experience in high end audio. The Audiogon community was enriched by his participation, and I will miss him. | |
| Can the Harbeth 40.1's boggie ????? You'll notice that you will never see a musician post on this forum.Donjr (Threads | Answers | This Thread)Complete bullshit.Below are three threads that prove otherwise.http://learn.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ymisc&1079336861&read&key... | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? Guys, I have assembled three well-performing and satisfying systems based in large part on what I learned from Robert Harley's discussion of amplifiers in chapters 6 and 15 of "The Complete Guide to High End Audio", specifically the discussion of ... | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? Okey-dokey. I'm bowing out. | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? ...to add a pertinent detail. When I was experimenting with amps that doubled power as impedance is halved, I auditioned or owned four amplifiers...all at different price levels and build quality. In each instance, these amps produced balanced sou... | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? 03-15-11: Tmsorosk...there may be other reason's it doesn't sound bright other than just the double down aspect.Could be, but I'm sticking with the double down aspect. The details of it are thoroughly explained in "The Complete Guide to High End A... | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? 03-15-11: Foster_9Maybe a 80-90 lb amplifier but not much more.I think my Pass Labs amps (XA-30.5 and XA-60.5) weighed about 60 lbs per chassis. The XA-30.5 leaves Class A at 60wpc peak power, and the XA-60.5 leaves Class A at 120wpc peak power. | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? ...I'm not interested in a 125 lb behemoth either...Foster_9 (Threads | Answers | This Thread)You'll find that the best high current amps (tube or solid state) have the largest transformers, and are therefore heavy. The higher the power output the... | |
| Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics? As others above have said I don't think that aspect is very important , even in a large room and at lease braking levels .Tmsorosk (System | Threads | Answers | This Thread)Well, I'm of the opinion that it matters based on what I've experienced in... | |
