| Best power amp for Avalon Opus Ceramique >> Elberoth2 and Jttn are off the mark. Muralman1,I agree with your assessment above.There's no reason why a digital amplifier would be good inthe bass, but not in midrange and treble. As you have demonstrated, the H2Os can drive a load as d... | |
| 4 ohm amp into 8 ohm speaker or 8 ohm am into 4 oh JM,You don't need to "match ohms".The question here is "can the amp handle the load"?A speaker with lower imedance [ lower ohms ] is harder forthe amplifier to drive - because for a given voltage, theamp has to put more current through a low ohm s... | |
| Amplifiers without the UL mark or CE mark If I bought such a product from a store (or online), could I get any problem related to safety?============================================================...to say nothing of the potential problem with whateverinsurance company underwrites your f... | |
| dcs Elgar plus vs Wadia 27ix vs Aero Capitole I've played in the past with a ensemble dac/player combination. I thought there will be not that many improvement by adding a pre-amplifier, i was wrong.After adding a CAT SL1 ultimate mkII dynamics and 'air' where improved much, also the bottom e... | |
| A ringing tone beneath the actual sound. DCS Elgar Lewisjones,Maybe that's why dCS calls the DAC in the Elgar a "Ring DAC":http://www.dcsltd.co.uk/index2.htmlCouldn't resist the pun.Good Luck finding the problem.Dr. Gregory Greenman | |
| DCS P8i Vs. EMM CDSD/CC2 Bigamp,What user selectable filter did you listen to on the P8i?One of the filters rolls off HF and tape hiss quite nicely.Dr. Gregory Greenman | |
| Opinions on the "TACT" sonic signature? The key to using a system like the Tact is knowing how toadjust and configure it. It's a tool - it can either hurtor help depending on how you use it.Dr. Gregory Greenman | |
| DCS P8i Vs. EMM CDSD/CC2 I too auditioned the dCS P8i and the EMM CDSD/DAC6e combowith Halcro preamp and Halcro amp driving Wilson X-2 Alexandrias.The two were VERY close. I noted a few more - "This soundsREAL" moments with the P8i - but that could be because it was audit... | |
| Double sets of speaker binding posts on Krell ? Yes - the dual sets of output terminals are connected inparallel to the SAME output transistors in the amp.The dual sets of output terminals are for ease in bi-wiring.Krell has made the bi-wiring easier for you. Not every speaker cable is availabl... | |
| CLASS A AMPLIFIERS Spear11,It depends on the amplifier; the regulation of its voltage and its current output capacity.We've been discussing amps that "double down" - those that will double their powerif the load impedance is halved. If we let V be the RMS voltage; t... | |
| Which DACs do SACD decoding? Bearotti,Check out the EMMLabs CD player at:http://www.emmlabs.com/cdsd.htmland their DACs at:http://www.emmlabs.com/DAC6e.htmlhttp://www.emmlabs.com/dcc2.htmlThey are not the only ones that use a proprietary link totransfer the DSD signal between... | |
| CLASS A AMPLIFIERS Atmasphere,Careful here. The ability of the ss amp to "double down" isreally a function of the regulation of the power supply inconjuction with its power reservers. This is not reallynegative feedback.Additionally, it's the feedback on the gain st... | |
| CLASS A AMPLIFIERS Unsound,The circuit topology of the Krell FPB series is Class A.Class A amps don't automatically resort to A/B when theyare asked to output large amounts of power.No - that is a characteristic of Class A/B amps that are designed to maintain Class ... | |
| CLASS A AMPLIFIERS Unsound,You can also check out the reviews by Stereophile, such asMartin Collums April 1997 review of the then current FPB-600.http://stereophile.com/amplificationreviews/829/In the Measurements segment, Martin addresses the power thatthe amp can ... | |
| CLASS A AMPLIFIERS Unsound,The Krell FPB "Class A" series maintain Class A operationfrom 8 ohms to 2 ohms.They have well regulated power supplies that have the currentcapacity to deliver the current that low load impedancesrequire.Given the well regulated nature of ... |
