| Great concert Saw him in Boston. It was good, though not as good as the STP or OnEveryStreet tour, IMHO. However, it was a smaller band/production/venue concert and I did enjoy the intimacy of it.The show did start with Wye Eye Man, which is from Ragpicker's Dr... | |
| Pink Floyd reunion I don't understand what the fuss is all about. They've agreed to play a few old songs live for a day, that's it. No mention of recording new materials from anyone, yet. Nor do I see them recording together anytime soon. For one thing, Waters is no... | |
| Douglas Self on Negative feedback and distortion It's been a while since college. But I'll put in my 2 cents here. For a close-loop amplifier design, one is mostly concerned with GBW (gain-bandwith product), which is a constant for an amp. You wouldn't run an amp in open-loop where the gain is m... | |
| Vinyl in Boston Better yet, take the bus up Mass ave from HCC to Cambridge. It is a short walk from Copley and the buses run often. | |
| Physical explanation of amp's break in? A few points that were mentioned in the above post and responses:- manual mention 6-week break in period for the unit (SimAudio)- component values shift over time (known fact,though this aging process is much longer than six weeks)- break in or "s... | |
| Mark Knopfler's Ragpickers Dream-heard it? I like the new album. Too bad his tour had to be cancelled due to his motorcycle accident. However, I have trouble picturing Knopfler riding a racing bike or a cruiser thru the streets of London. RPD gives you the notion of a mellower Knopfler rid... | |
| Need help w/ Audible Illusions M3A Marakanetz made a good point -- you're wasting 2 tubes since you don't need phono playback. How about replacing it with the L-1!I'm new to tube gear as well -- I own the AI-2D. The hiss could be early stage of tube failure, noisy volume pot as men... | |
| Gain and Rothwell attenuators Stuartbranson,I retract my earlier assumption that the attenuator won't do much when placed between the CDP and pre. I was under the impression that there might be some AGC circuit preceding the PRE input stage (I suppose it is not necessary with ... | |
| Gain and Rothwell attenuators I'm not sure putting the attenuator between the CDP and pre will make much of a difference in terms of overall gain for an active pre. Also, when placed between the pre and power amp, you need to plug the male end of the attenuator to the power am... | |
| Citation 7.1 amp bridging problems It's good to know that nothing is blown inside the amp. Obviously, the protection circuit is kicking in properly. The click that you hear in the beginning is normal turn on sequence for the amp.Bridged mode should work just fine if you short the b... | |
| Citation 7.1 amp bridging problems Did you short the ground (black) terminals in bridged mode? Also, does the amp still work in unbridged mode? | |
| CD volume levels Thanks guys. This has been highly educational. | |
| CD volume levels PhildYour explanation makes a lot of sense. A good example is the the track Private Investigation on Love over Gold album by Dire Strait -- recording level is low but it has tremendous dynamic range. The same track on the latest compilation Sultan... | |
| Using A/V receiver as pre-amp? It works if the receiver has pre-outs -- most do. Given the quality of your speakers and power amp, and assuming your receiver analog section isn't of the same quality, I'd suggest that you get a stand alone stereo pre-amp with stereo-bypass. | |
| Review: Hales Design Group Revelation 2 Speaker I own the Rev3 and I agree with most of Ohlala's observations. I'd also like to add that these speakers, unlike many other, sound wonderful at low volume level. I do most of listening late at night at whispering level. I find the speakers still ma... |
