| Bookshelf Speakers that have to be up against the wall Yes, it is true that putting speakers so close to the back wall would affect sound. Google "speaker boundary interference response" (SBIR) for more reading on this, but the general idea is if a speaker is too close to a wall, it will use the wall ... | |
| Krell FPB 600 = to what new amp today. I would not include Bryston in that list because it is a very different sounding amp. The Bryston's I have had experience with (including the newest cubed amps) have all been very fast and thin sounding (in comparison). The Krell FPB's would hav... | |
| Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass? @lewinskih01 - nope, I have not. It was just one of the few linear power supplies on ebay that did 24V at 5A (which is what the Amp Camp power switching supply is). I have tried a few different Teradak power supplies. I generally try to get a PS... | |
| Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass? uhm, just a comment here. I haven't felt any of Erik's posts are offensive or "stirring the pot", including this thread. He brought up a topic of discussion, and even if he can't participate in the actual building of this kit, I don't think any ... | |
| Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass? @dgarretson - the link to those 24V linear power supplies are just on the border of current requirements (5A). If you want a power supply with more current, you could look at one of these and ask them if they can make a 24V version. It would pro... | |
| Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass? I think it was meant to bring the cost of the kit down to enable more people to experiment with the First Watt type circuit. The power supply in an amp is a significant part of the cost and increases the size of the chassis. In fact, I think the... | |
| Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass? Looks like an interesting project, Erik! First order of business after you complete it, linear power supply:https://www.ebay.com/itm/150VA-DC24V-5A-Low-Noise-LPS-HI-END-Linear-Power-Supply-for-Audio-PSU/11299...Have fun with it! | |
| Oppo 205 - Basically a PC with small Analog section It almost sounds like this thread was started to get people riled up. The statement is really ignorant and incorrect. There may be similarities in some areas between Oppo 205 and a PC, but they are completely different beasts. | |
| asus stxII with sparkos discrete opamps I have tried the AD787BRZ op amps (including soldering a 50pf compensation cap across pins 6 & 8 of the op amp - which was challenging). At first I thought this was one of the most cleanest and transparent op amps without adding any coloratio... | |
| Speaker kits recomendations Maybe Horn TL hybrid lets talk speaker kits Most 2-way speaker kits are in the 87-88db efficiency range, including your TriTrix (as well as the Solstice). In fact, most manufactured audiophile speakers are in this range as well. There are some super efficient speakers like Klipsch and Tekto... | |
| asus stxII with sparkos discrete opamps Both the Sparkos and the Burson op amps are very demanding on the power supply. The newest Burson are less demanding, but still require a good amount of capacitance around them and good strong and smooth voltage from main power supply. This is s... | |
| B&W - THE Nautilus. I heard these speakers once. They were -extremely- clean sounding, but a lot of that could have been from the "Class D" amps by Classe that were driving them. They require 6 individual amplifier channels to drive them and use an active crossover... | |
| External Linear Power Supplies searching, here's one that has 2 18V outputs. It's a variation of the LKS 25W power supply. It really is only one power supply with two output.https://www.ebay.com/itm/XMOS-TALEMA-Linear-Power-Supply-25VA-18V-1-5A-Dual-DC-Port-Ultra-Low-Noise-HI... | |
| Speaker kits recomendations Maybe Horn TL hybrid lets talk speaker kits Just to confirm, the Solstice kit is for ONE speaker at $539. So you would have to buy two if you want a stereo pair, lol. | |
| The one tweak most Focals need ... well, yeah, I guess I could have gone with the Mundof EVO caps, but I wanted to try for the resolution of the Clarity CSA and I didn't want to spend as much on the EVO SGO. |
