| Stevie Ray Vaughan Several rooms at the recent Chicago AXPONA show were playing some "test pressings" from the new AP SRV 45RPM release, and I have to say that the sound was absolutely stunning! You could feel the vibration of Stevie's guitar strings and the dynamic... | |
| how to set up a tonearm/cartridge If the distortion is mostly in one channel, try adjusting the anti-skating as follows. If distortion in left decrease A/S, if distortion in right increase A/S. If the distortion is equal in both channels then the problem is likely with the arm/car... | |
| Bandwidth Limitations Of Class D Amps?? Most Class D amplifier designs require a filter at the output to remove the high frequency switching noise that is present in the signal. Various designs use different types of filters with varying cutoff frequencies. I doubt that any are designed... | |
| What's about EDGE Audio ? MMB, maybe you meant 34K Ohm? If so, it would probably be ok with most tube preamps but you may want to try a given combination before you make any commitment. If a power amp's input impedance is too low relative to the preamp's output impedance i... | |
| 450 Pound Monobloc Amplifier Mitch4t, the size and weight of the heat sinks on the Rowland 625 and 725 series amps are used to dissipate heat from the power output devices and are necessary due to their operation in a high bias Class A/B design. It is a common misconception t... | |
| What's about EDGE Audio ? The only model I can find the age of is the 12.1 which apparently came out in 2005. Generally speaking each newer iteration is thought to offer some level of improvement, but of course opinion comes in here so YMMV. As far as matching with a tube ... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Interesting to note that even with the sound quality of Class D amplifier circuits continuing to improve, Rowland still chooses to design their best reference grade power amps using their very advanced switched mode power supplies with Class A/B o... | |
| What's about EDGE Audio ? The original Edge Electronics company can be found at http://www.edgeamps.com/. Edge was sold to the current owner in 2001 by the original owner, Tom Maker, who now owns Maker Audio. | |
| Hegel Amplifiers I'm very interested in hearing Talk2me's thoughts on the Hegel H30 amp, since he's had many of the best amps available to compare it to including the Burmester! | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Audiozen, I find that to be an unreasonable and thoughtless statement. I have absolutely no connection with Henry or his company, but his business may be doing fine with sales from other sources than Audiogon. There are many major audio companies ... | |
| D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ? Henry, I have tried Guido's link using Chrome and it fails with the error: "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to www.iceh2oaudio.com". I suspect that you may be accessing a page in your cache and that's why some of the other links don't work. ... | |
| Manley NEO-Classic 250 vs 500 The 500 is superior in the aspects of sound you specified, and with twice the power it excels at driving difficult speaker loads. The 250 has a generally warmer tonal balance in comparison. The choice is ultimately dependent upon your listening pr... | |
| What About Loom Theory? The original poster asked for an explanation of what loom theory was, so I provided the only documented source that I know of where it is explained. I'm not promoting it or saying that it's the answer for everyone, just trying to answer the poster... | |
| How to set Sutherland 20/20 phono stage? The 40dB gain setting should be correct, but you could also try 46dB. Looks like the appropriate loading is actually 47.5K ohms on this unit. | |
| What About Loom Theory? Nordost is one company that promotes this philosophy in regards to selecting cables for a system. You can see their explanation for it in their document entitled Foundation Theory, under the section heading "Interconnects and Speaker Cables". They... |
