| cassettes CAN sound better than vinyl. There's really no comparison. For example, that's why tape deck manufacturers used -20dB levels when they quoted frequency response for cassette decks. You really don't want to know what it looks like at 0 dB.Music doesn't have high frequencies at... | |
| Fidelity vs. Musicality...........Is there a tug of War? Hjghly detailed systems for me lose out in musicality. It is less natural.It might be that at home we got used to certain sound, that is different from live performance and we follow it? Perhaps we also try to compensate for music compression by... | |
| Is improvisational jazz to impressionism art as smooth jazz is to realism art? @stuartk Of course. I love Jazz. | |
| Is improvisational jazz to impressionism art as smooth jazz is to realism art? Jazz is simply inferior to classical music. Jazz musicians don't know where the right notes are and "hunt" for them by trial and error, while classically trained musicians find them instantly. Just look at Jazz bassist or guitarist - they "walk"... | |
| Which component to upgrade to improve bass control? Less resistance means greater damping factor (control).Damping factor has very little to do with damping of the membrane (in spite of the name). | |

| The Importance of the Digital Cable This is not true. As mentioned by several here; the "digital" signal is actually electric and any ic might do a ok job, just try. Don`t let the salesman fool youThis is not true. As mentioned many times here digital signal is affected by time jit... | |
| Low gain amp system matching @lowrider57 They had two versions of M3: pre i post October 2013. Both have gain of 18dBHere is user manual that reflects it: https://d1b89e86-9572-4311-9f80-60009b280608.filesusr.com/ugd/3e7c3b_cb9f60cb6a26418992b53df75192a77... | |
| Question on Preamp Outputs. As for the output being always 450W. It is always 450W because for different speaker load transformer has different output voltage (amp has different gain). 8ohm speaker would normally produce half of the 4ohm speaker, but amp’s gain for 8ohm outp... | |
| Question on Preamp Outputs. So what? This amp has double gain at unbalanced input (26dB vs 20dB), for the output power to be 450W at nominal voltage at given input, but output voltage will be a linear function of input voltage at given input. If you lower voltage at given ... | |
| Question on Preamp Outputs. His pre outputs 2.4V for balanced output. His amp outputs 450W for 4.2V balanced input.Amplifier’s output voltage will be a linear function of the input voltage. It has to be or amplifier will have huge distortions. Output power P = V^2 / R If you... | |
| Question on Preamp Outputs. look at the specs for the 462 amp! Both 2.1 and 4.2 volts both produce output wattage of 450! Both 2.1V and 4.2V produce the same wattage of 450W but from different inputs (balanced and unbalanced) that have different gains.Gain for this amp for 4... | |
| Question on Preamp Outputs. It is exactly what it is. His amplifier has 20dB gain for balanced input at 4ohm output posts. 20dB is10x. When you input 4.2V input output becomes 10 x 4.2V = 42V P = (42V^2) / 4 = 441WAt 2.1V input output becomes 21V P = (21V^2) / 4 = 110.25W | |
| Question on Preamp Outputs. jasonbourne52 You multiply power by the ratio of voltage and that is wrong. It is not linear problem since output power is function of input voltage squared. For instance 1/2 of voltage = 1/4 of power. | |
| Question on Preamp Outputs. Here's the math: 2.4 ÷ 4.2 = .5714 × 450 = 257.14 watts into all impedances! Power is proportional to voltage squared (2.4/4.2)^2 x 450 = 147W |
