| 300b lovers what are your thoughts on using a balanced input stage to drive a single ended 300B? My front end hardware is all balanced and I like using balanced connections. I’m thinking an LTP with a CCS on the cathodes and a push/pull interstage on the ano... | |
| 6sn7 to 6922 adapter: good idea or bad idea? I thought the sonics were as good and often better than the 6922s @armstrod I've often felt that the 6922 is not a good tube for audio and also think the 6SN7 to be better. But the 6SN7 has different operating characteristics so its highly unli... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? @rauliruegas You left out part of my comment, which invalidates your complaint. The full text was Live music does not sound like a recording unless its made in the same venue. emphasis added. | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? It’s curios that not only in your last post but in any other you don’t reffer to LIVE MUSIC. You post about experiments/tests/audiophile adjectives and the like but not live MUSIC. Live music does not sound like a recording unless its made in t... | |
| Audio Research Reference 150 - buzzing input transformer I still have the old transformer in a box over here - it seems there’s only one set of long bolts (at least those that could have been tightened). Those are the very ones. | |

| XLR recomendation I've been using Mogami Neglex for years. My setup uses 30' cables. But the equipment in my system supports AES48 so the sonic differences between cables disappear. Part of the reason to go balanced is to eliminate the differences between cables- a... | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? As to the future, is it just a matter of time until all module makers switch to using ganfet? I don't think so. In the decade since GaNFETs first showed up, MOSFET producers have improved their craft and are almost as fast- certainly so for any... | |
| Passive preamps - differences between technologies Maybe I didn't convey it correctly. I'm not saying a TVC adds warmth. A TVC certainly can add warmth, due to ringing caused by the transformer not being properly loaded. That loading changes with each tap but the designer can't predict the load... | |
| 6sn7 to 6922 adapter: good idea or bad idea? I wonder why they make such an adapter? Because someone will buy it not knowing that it really won't work. | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? IBM was also the source of the parity bit... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? all those by live measurements that at the end those bullet proof measurements explanation could be useless for the listener. 🤣 Funny how we still have talk like this when the technology to show what the 'mysterious' aspect is that causes the ... | |
| Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like? So my thought is that calling them digital amps is a reasonable slang and everybody knows what it is referring to. The distinction here is that digital has specific on and off states that form words (which might be 16, 32 or 64 bits) that repre... | |
| What are the best GaN Amplifiers available today? @koh_i_noor We believe its the filter caps in the power supply forming up to their operating voltage. We thought that since our amp runs a lot of feedback and is thus able to reject a lot of power supply issues that break-in would not happen. But ... | |
| Amplifier Specification questions I wonder how bad it would effect my listening experience to have power meters and know when the transition happens @steve59 If the bias point is properly set the transition is completely inaudible. I wouldn't worry about it :) |
