Running DCS Vivladi DIRECT?
Hey Folks,
Anybody out there who cares to comment on running the Vivaldi DAC direct to the Power amp.
Please compare with running through your favorite preamp and elucidate the differences.
Thanks & keep enjoying our hobby!
It must be very sad to believe that everything we find attractive in this hobby is an artifact or coloration ... I found this a very interesting piece on how our hearing works https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/theres-an-inverse-piano-in-your-head/ |
It must be very sad to believe that everything we find attractive in this hobby is an artefact or coloration Ah yes, but not sad, just understandable, As I said this was only with old stuff Beatles, Beach Boys ect. that was recorded and voiced with no digital involved, and where the "channel separation null’ing network" worked a treat with digital. With later stuff recorded and voiced on digital equipment, the null’ing circuit is definitely better left out, and to me far better through the digital gear, and not through vinyl. Cheers George |
@georgehifi That's a very good piece of analysis and detective work George. I am particularly impressed that you could actually design and implement a circuit to do what you did. For a rock kicking civil engineer, I am always amazed at how electronics work and how it all fits together. I think I should have studied a different engineering stream. Well done! @folkfreak A very fascinating article. love the science in it. |
Easy to do simply on a scope using test bench cd's, just a flat across the board 30db channel separation with resistance across left and right channels, but to get it follow like a cartridge takes quite a bit more complexity. Bit of a channel separation discussion on the Vinyl Engine https://www.vinylengine.com/turntable_forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=44346 Cheers George |
