| Barbie's Very Real, High End Speaker Problem... "Don't Be Duped By Duplicitous Dupemeisters -- Must Read!"Best,-- Al :-) | |
| Schiit setup troubleshooting Is there any possibility that using a single-ended input into the Freya (in this case the DAC), then outputting via balanced XLR to the amps could be the cause of the issue? After looking at the manual for the Freya S I don't see any concerns w... | |
| Schiit setup troubleshooting I would definitely try disconnecting the sub altogether. If I understand correctly you are connecting the two amps to a single powered sub (i.e., both amps are connected to the same sub, with the sub providing speaker-level inputs for two channels... | |
| Schiit setup troubleshooting First, just to make sure something simple isn't being overlooked, I assume you are connecting each speaker to the two positive output terminals of the corresponding amp, given that you are using the amps in mono mode. And I assume you have seen in... | |
| Soulution 511 vs. Luxman m900 @hiendmmoe Thanks for pointing that out. I hadn’t noticed the "bal line phase" switch on the rear panel of the Luxman, which it seems safe to assume will take care of the polarity issue I described.@yyzsantabarbara Although that switch makes it un... | |
| Soulution 511 vs. Luxman m900 I have no relevant experience but I would point out that the input impedance of the Soulution 511 is an extremely low 2K (balanced only). That would make it unsuitable for use with the majority of tube-based preamps, and with some solid state prea... | |
| It's National "One Hit Wonder" Day! Probably any criteria that might be conjured up to define "one-hit wonder" will result in at least a few anomalies. But the list that has been linked to, https://top40weekly.com/all-one-hit-wonders/, clearly defines "one-hit wonder" as an artist o... | |
| Pass XA25 or Pass XA 30.8 I haven’t heard the XA30.8, but my (very positive) thoughts about the XA25 I own were stated in the thread three_easy_payments linked to in his first post above. Note, though, that as I indicated in that thread my speakers are very easy to drive, ... | |
| Atma-sphere Updates I am sure there are more fair minded and gracious producers in the business that are more deserving of our support. Nothing could be further from the truth, in my opinion and I believe the opinion of countless other members here. Throughout the e... | |
| Need Help! My Class A Amp Is Running Very Hot the cabinet on the top temperature is 28C which I think is just a little warm but acceptable but when I put my hand on top of the plastic vents (over the heat shrinks) it is extremely hot, way over my thermometer maximum temperature of 50C To add... | |
| Need Help! My Class A Amp Is Running Very Hot The L-590AX is spec’d as consuming 220 watts at idle (310 watts max). The L-590AXII is spec’d as consuming 260 watts at idle (330 watts max). Both models weigh about 63 pounds. The amp’s heatsinks are entirely enclosed within its metal cabinet, an... | |
| TRL WON'T GIVE ME MY AMP @tonykay Sounds like you are talking about General Electric, which as far as I am aware doesn’t produce any audiophile-oriented products. While some readers of your initial post have most likely interpreted your reference to "GE" as pertaining to ... | |
| SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier Thanks for calling this preamp to our attention, Terry, and for the characteristically excellent writeup. In recent years I’ve seen some other highly experienced members here post very positive comments about some Coda products.A minor point, but ... | |
| It's National "One Hit Wonder" Day! Hi Joe,Looks like Elizabeth's post was deleted. But here is the link she had provided: https://top40weekly.com/all-one-hit-wonders/ Regards,-- Al | |
| tube pre-amp for active monitors The balanced inputs bypass the built-in dac and tone stack Thanks. But how does that relate to what I said in my post?Regards,-- Al |
