| Cartridge output matching to phono stage. You're getting some number approx 10^2*sqrt(10) which gives you approx 300 times and doing wrong nothing. So you're getting an approx output voltage of 240mV. Now you should check specs of your preamp in terms of input sencitivity which has to be ... | |
| Upsampling put to "THE TEST": R U ready 2 take it? Whewwwhhh! I finally ended reading but with curiosity and from top to bottom THANKS!I knew you would stand towards "Former Heavy Weight Champs".I believe that you was someway wrong comparing MSB Gold with Theta DSPro Basic III. You've mention a di... | |
| 4 Ohm vs. 8 Ohm, what does it mean..... Nice article, Sean there is only something I wanted to add that SS amps in all logical sence do require deep negative feedback that increases an output impedance and thus creates an addtional voltage drop while in tube case the negative feedback i... | |
| Downsizing advice i'm with suggestions for plinius 8200 that has a well-controlled bass and tube-like mids and highs. you can also get it used for $1.5k and be surprise how good this unit for the price and how can it beat separates. | |
| Joseph Audio Speakers never show up used Cdc, I heard each of Joseph's(RM33 or Pearl) only once and only with one setup. Maybe I should listen to Nautilus 802 with Manley electronics later somewhere since Manley electronics are always true for me. I realy don't know how to describe the w... | |
| 4 Ohm vs. 8 Ohm, what does it mean..... Rockead, it all depends on where larger current is drown. larger current is drown through the 4 Ohm and smaller is through the 8 Ohm. More resistance creates smaller current and thus creates "easier load" The heaviest load thus is a short circuit(... | |
| Joseph Audio Speakers never show up used I heard RM33 and I heard Pearl. These are two so different speakers. RM33 are overvalued and shouldn't have the offered price of $7k. I didn't find anything successfull or even positive in these speakers except look and shiny Cardas binding posts ... | |
| Who services older equipment? first of all where are you located and how much you're willing to spend?most of such shops will charge you upto $150 of labor + parts.i can be in help fixing for you these units for $100 each of labor + parts, but i'm not sure if you will spend su... | |
| Cartridge output matching to phono stage. it's a very simple arithmetics.all you have to do is use the following formula to transfer gain from dB to times:1. 20Log(times gain) = dB gain2. times gain = 10^(dB gain/20)"^" sign in the formula bellow represents power of an argument 10 in our ... | |
| transport DAC incompatibility? what kind of sony cd-player did you buy?some of one-box players have realy poor transport with non-sufficient level of digital output that cannot be re-locked properly.i had the same problem using mccormack mod squad cd-player and on absolutely no... | |
| 4 Ohm vs. 8 Ohm, what does it mean..... Its way toooo general, Unsound.You can grab an example on JM Lab Electra 926 where the nominal impedance is 6Ohm but it could be dropped down to 2.5.My Totem Forests amps have a huge and resolving bass despite their tiny size and small 6" woofer. ... | |
| upscaling, bits and resampling ?? Zaikesman, I'm stuck for now with old machines EAD DSP7000 MKII and Monarchy DT 40b as a transport. I'm also curious what units you're going to a/b.I'm aiming to keep transport but upgrade the DAC and the best so-far I've heard is TACT RCS(pre-amp... | |
| Music in your diary... I'm not obsessive compulsive and I never keep any diary which i sometimes need to do, but my listening sessions sometimes lay down in my memory so I even keep track on the daily events just by knowing what I've been listening that particular day. | |
| Audio Research has the Best Customer Service I'm always glad with VTL product and its remarkable and helpful service. I also enjoyed the service of May Audio that wired me all up with VanDenHul. | |
| What's everybody listening to this evening? Did anyone notice that this is always "THIS EVENING"!!!And this evening i will probably listen to one of my favourite singers Pete Gabriel and after if i will be still listening i will continue with Genesis(certainly with Pete) |
