A Copernican View of the Turntable System

I know some guys here in Holland who are wrestling with OTL
amps for 40 years. One can call such behaviour 'persistance', 'induration' or 'obsession' but during those 40 years they made many 'solutions' for the
impendance problem . The strange thing however is that they
try to solve this problem in the speaker. Some even produced speakers with 500-600 ohm impendance. Thanks to some guy called Bruce Rozenblat the problem is reduced to,say, 4 ohm. So it seems to be very easy to predict what Lew
'secret work' is about. He is tweaking some filter to put in front of his Majestic in order to protect the life of the (innocent) thing as well as his wallet.

As for the Majestic, I will put the big Berning OTL amp on it. The Berning amp is an OTL on steroids. Forget the SS amp with their damping factor talk. High damping factor gives dry sound. Very difficult to execute proper acceptable damping factor.

Dear Audpulse: I know that Berning a perhaps one of the two-three tube amps I could live for a while if I need it.

You are right that the Majestic's could sound " dry " with some SS amplifiers, I heard that symptom with that speakers driving by Halcro amps but the JC1's are way different with these speakers.
The whole picture is not only about damping factor but wider than that.

Anyway, Lewm think he has the right answer and that's is the important subject and what's matters.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

Tutntables, armpods/towers,

Speakers, amplilfiers?

Turntable + tonearm/armpod + amp.+ speakers= System. Ie
a holistic approach.
