| More on XLR vs RCA considerations? perazzi28 ... XLR connections don't necessarily indicate that the device offers "balanced" topology that can offer some ascribed benefits ... That's true. True balanced topology imposes twice the circuitry into the signal path. That is... | |
| Comments on Fanfare FM-2G - FM Antenna tablejockey Shouldn't the tuners signal strength meter tell you where it likes the antenna? The higher the better for one thing. Oh no, not at all. The cleanest signal will probably be where there's minimum multipath - that's not necessar... | |
| Can you do anything to make power tubes last longer ? atmasphere ... make sure your line Voltage isn’t running high. 120V is normal now and the line is not supposed to exceed 125V for more than a second. But I’ve seen situations were 125V was normal If you’re talking about the US, you are mistake... | |
| Somebody Please Make This Already... Wouldn't using a preamplifier and active crossover do this? | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. chenry ... What I think bothers readers here about ASR the most is their objective methods ... There is nothing inherently objective about measurements and the ASR site is dripping with bias and disdain. I don’t take ASR seriously and I’m not ... | |
| Advicd Needed on Change from Levinson to Audio Research The SP6B and the Ref 75 are from completely different eras and you're not likely to get the best performance from either by using them together. In particular, the 6B is single-ended while the Reference 75 is balanced. The SP6 is very colored by m... | |
| More on XLR vs RCA considerations? carlsbad2 Ralph, the BAT crew, and their follwers will swear you can’t have a good system without XLR. I generally prefer balanced components for a number of reasons but I don't think your claim is true. I ran single-ended for years with e... | |
| More on XLR vs RCA considerations? mulveling ... "Doubling up" the circuitry inside pretty much always doubles the expense ... It's a misnomer that balanced circuits "double up" the circuitry. Balanced components such as the OP's Aesthetix Calypso use differential circuitry (pr... | |
| Why are DAC's so much more expensive than transports? verdantaudio ... if a unit is fully balanced it effectively doubles the circuitry as well and this adds a lot of cost ... That's a common misnomer. Many truly balanced circuits employ circuits such as differential amplifiers, of which operatio... | |
| How often do you upgrade turntable ? I owned a few fine turntables in succession (including Denon DP-80, Oracle Delphi III) until around 1995 when I bought a VPI TNT III. I’ve been using it happily ever since. I did upgrade it with an SDS controller, later had Steve Leung at VAS modi... | |
| Balanced vs RCA preamps jetter ... accusing Ralph of using A'gon as his personal advertising medium ... Ralph promotes his products here and I've always defended it: you're here to promote your products, Ralph, and that's fine. You've earned the trademark and multi... | |
| Beware: Magnum Dynalab are not "doing repairs, upgrades or service right now"!! This is great news for all of us who still think FM has value. Magnum Dynalab builds some of the best tuners now being made. Thanks to the OP @superbike for updating us. | |
| Balanced vs RCA preamps sns One only has to open up their equipment in order to determine if true balanced, mirrored circuit path, power supplies,power and output transformers ... That depends. Many truly balanced amplifiers do not use "mirrored circuit paths." F... | |
| Balanced vs RCA preamps atmasphere That's the thing: it is commonly accepted (would you like an industry list?) It's a red herring, really and you've already acknowledged that AES48 is not commonly accepted in home audio. You describe your MP-1 preamp as "featuring B... | |
| Do you agree with John Atkinson (and me)? onhwy61 There's massive fraud in streaming! There is? Tell us about it, @onhwy61! |
