Re: Forum Errors
It seems we have gone back to normal again, I wonder for how long this time.

Re: Passive preamp vs TVCs - please can you clarify ?
It is not so simplistic Marlin, there are horses for courses. Old Exposures and Naims didn't like passives, and some big muscle amps are made somewhat limp by them. It is IMO all to do with how the input stage of the power amp is configured, though I do agree with you in a majority of situations, it...

Re: Speakers
Try some Cubettes on the current system as they are on offer to promote, all you need is spare capacity on a credit card for a month, and then send them back. Then you will know if the Cube concept is in your plans. BTW P80 is pretty ancient so are they (with the A40s) aluminium case units from 25 -...

Re: Passive preamp vs TVCs - please can you clarify ?
Depends on the power amp. With NVA amps and most others NO. It depends on the input load in the power amp for the pre-amp, and cable capacitance as well which with a passive is important to keep low.. Valves always love passives (all), some transistor amps like Naim do not. It is all marketing bulls...

Even bigger bullshit, noisy, unreliable (drifting with time) and ILLEGAL in the UK due to Cadmium content of the LDR component.Fretless wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2019 4:34 pm https://www.tortugaaudio.com/whats-wron ... e-control/
According to this, LDRs are better than TVCs.

Re: Passive preamp vs TVCs - please can you clarify ?
Its bullshit, it is not superior to a good quality SA. Search in the archive it is explained. A transformer is a coil - a coil adds distortion - a coil can only be designed to be correct (flat) at one frequency - taps make that unpredictable and it get worst at frequency extremes - a transformers qu...

Re: Write Inside
Then you explain why we are attacked so much and it started then - reality is reality - the truth is the truth - facts are facts. Perhaps it became habit. I cannot post anywhere without being attacked, others cannot post anywhere about NVA without being attacked, and if this forum is mentioned then ...

Re: Write Inside

Write Inside
Write Inside was a trade magazine that invited comment and letters from trade members - so I wrote a a couple of letters expressing my frustration with this bent and controlled industry in about 1990. I have often referred to them here as the point the rest of the industry turned on me for telling t...
