| A 9 watts SET for the Maggies, Heavenly marriage Try a pair of these: (http://www.caryaudio.com/products/classic/CAD805AE.html) | |
| Speaker's efficiency, sensitivity and impedance A speaker's(or speaker system's) efficiency/sensitivity rating is determined by it's SPL output in DB with a 1 Watt(or 2.83v) input, measured on axis at a distance of 1 meter(in an anechoic chamber). The speaker's impedance is not relevant in this... | |
| Rethinking Listening Fatigue My first thought would be toward Intermodulation Distortion, which is a particularly annoying form unlike Harmonic Distortion. The correct definition of which is distortion created when an amplifier creates a frequency, the sum or difference of tw... | |
| Audio Research 230/240 volts You should be fine with that piece. Even if the transformers weren't the same, the lower voltage unit would only operate at a slightly elevated temperature as there is only about 4% difference in the ratings. Many of the older Audio pieces over he... | |
| bi amping question The 6L6WGB and 5881 tubes are identical(just FYI). I'd suggest contacting Kevin at Upscale Audio and asking his response to the sound of the TungSol re-issue 5881: (http://www.upscaleaudio.com/product.asp?itemid=574&catid=87) I've never tried ... | |
| Subwoofer Power Amplifier Recommendations I USED to think one needed tons of power to reproduce the bass in music too. Then it dawned on me that that vast majority of the music(percentage wise) is above 150hz. I'd say get one of the A500s here:(http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--BEHA500... | |
| What's a good cartridge for infinity black widow? The chances of finding a Sonus Blue cartridge with a rubber compliance that wasn't hardened by now would be very slim. That's unfortunate as it would be ideal for the Black Widow arm(I had one in a Magnepan Unipivot I way back when). Replacement s... | |
| Will an outside DAC over ride the tubes Here's a site that details some of the various flavors that can be experienced with different 12AU7 family tubes: (https://www.tubeworld.com/12au7.htm) My own choice would be the Siemens E82CC(Spec. Qual., triple mica) or Telefunken ECC802S, both ... | |
| Anyone else miss audiophile nervosa? So- When one has "ameliorated the problems" and tuned/tweaked their system to play 'Brothers In Arms' in an acceptable manner, what happens when albums that are well recorded are played on that system? | |
| What's a good cartridge for infinity black widow? Mr J- Which V15? The V15 series began in 1964, and there have been a plethora of variations since, with many differing compliances. | |
| What's a good cartridge for infinity black widow? This site has a formula that you may find useful: (http://www.theanalogdept.com/cartridge___arm_matching.htm) | |
| What's a good cartridge for infinity black widow? Actually- The weight of the cartridge is not what's important. The Black Widow is a VERY low effective mass arm, and needs a high-compliance cartridge. The Blue-Point(at 12x10-6cm/dyne) is considered a fairly low compliance cartridge. Here's a goo... | |
| I think my CAL Alpha DAC is broken... I bought a spare LASER unit from Approved Audio when I owned my ALPHA/DELTA combo and Icon MkII. They seemed very knowledgeable and trustworthy. If I were going to have one rebuilt: I'd buy another pair of NOS Telefunken ECC803S's to pop in there(... | |
| Remotes: Who needs 'em? I just read that Viagra joke somewhere else today(can't remember where though). I WILL say that both my TacT and BAT remotes are very intuitively designed and devoid of any un-necessary buttons. | |
| Remotes: Who needs 'em? Find a roll of duct tape(a color pleasing to your eyes, to avoid further angst), cut off a suitable length and cover the face of your remote. With an Exacto knife(or an, as yet, unconfiscated scalpel), trim out around those precious few buttons yo... |
