22 tips for better sound in a high-end audio system received – PART II

9. Grounding the Metals for Static Electricity, especially in wet weather and carpeted listening environments, static electric become a problem. The carpet is with static electric which can pass through the electronic equipment on the rack be passed and / or loaded human touch. Static electricity on the carpet is so powerful that, when tested in the morning, before anyone goes on it can see by simple tools sold at Radio Shack

To eliminate the effects, speaker stands and the racks should be connected to earth by a thin wire be. In addition, the speaker wires and connections from the ground to be lifted by the same effect.

What benefits you can expect to tweak this, I know not why, but less blurry and flood lower bass.

10. Speaker distance from the front wall; speaker manufacturers typically recommend the removal of the Speakers through the front wall (the wall behind the speaker). Generally, the speakers are as far as possible from the front wall. (Side walls as well) If they so close to the wall, bass standing waves are amplified (as explained in article five) and middle / high volume is compressed by excessive bass energy.

Some audiophiles find the desired bass volume by placing them closer to the front wall is not correct. One should remember that these bass increase not by the sound, but it is the result of the reaction chamber called coloring.

11. Former car / Transformer Passive Line stages, the newly developed Technology in hi-end industry, the preamplifier questionable.

Before the end, the reason was provided for a preamplifier in four bases;

a-To connect more than one unit together
b-recording on a tape from some sources
c-low-volume output and reverse polarity signal of turntables (as the only Source component)
D-bass, treble adjustment required

Today, CD, SACD can offer equipment from 5-8 volt outputs that are more than enough for the output stages are. Audiophiles are not interested in sound settings, but focuses more on simplicity. Dedicated phono stages are in common usage so that the majority of the requirements are no longer valid.

The main refinancing operations and the only basic task of a modern pre-amp, lower the volume, not Step It Up!
Just try to imagine a pure signal from a CD or DAC output by the amplifier, then cut this link, putting four male, four female Plug, a pair of connecting, much resistors, capacitors, tubes, transistors and all that stuff in the link. How can the signal purity and can Something better than the original!

An active line stage demolished the neutrality and the purity of the original sound. Such damage can not be so evident in most of the lower resolution systems, or be deliberately ignored by some people. Each active line stage has its own tonality and color. In fact, audiophiles generally use line stages of their tonality problems in systems balance. For example, a hose used to calm a fixed level sounding solid state power amplifier or a line of heights ranging stage is used to compensate for the low-altitude stage, and vice versa. If this is the case in a system, all-natural Line stage and the lack of staining is not regarded by the audiophile.

should be the idea after me to the stage to find the desired Sound rather then change the game with a preamplifier. In other words, with the original problem rather then try to mask the problem.

It is almost in line the fact that with a very simple volume pot adds so much neutrality and purity to sound. But in such cases it seems that some other problems. A volume pot either a potentiometer or a stepped generator works with the client resistance. Each volume step adds several resistive path to signal, thus lowering the volume. Because of the complexity of the music signal (20 Hz-20 kHz), as a resistive load such as a barrier for different frequencies act. For example, in turning down the volume, the height is lowered and the bass is condensed or if you increase the volume, are middle excessive or vice versa. Not to mention forgetting is the lack of momentum as well. A line stage eliminates these problems.
Because of these facts can volume control pots or controlled analog volume CDs are not used as a stand-alone line phases are

The new technology, new car and former transformer passive line stages are designed for volume control.

Such units do not work with resistance principles, and not add resistance to the signal path. The only resistance of such amplifier is 200 ohms by the cable in the windings.

Transformer passive line stages consist of two transformers, one for the left channel and one for the law. They have a primary winding and multiple (12-24 Stages) of the secondary winding. Their main responsibility is to lover the volume by changing the voltage, but then adding resistance. Up to my knowledge, there are only three manufacturers this line levels. I have two of them. Both offer exceptional natural, peaceful and pristine sound.

I changed much of the ancient world Sound Lab me very good product and is quite cheap too (not to underestimate its price), but audio is Consulting Silver Rock of pure silver otherwise.

It should also be noted that such a passive line stages can not be liable for any system. In such a case, the input impedance of the amplifier should be directly from the be driven output stage of the DAC or CD player. Input impedance of the amplifier should be as small as possible. The best way to learn about this case, write the impedance values Groups and ask for help before buying.

12. Good tubes (NOS tubes), is it logical to pay 100? and on old tube, while the new costs 10? I think it is. A good tube, the properties of an electronic tube as if you replaced the entire unit. NOS tubes are not easy to find, right expensive but worth it to use. Especially the upper frequency range is hiss at the bottom with Nos tubes.

13. Very easy to find Polarity method; general European (German) standard AC plugs do not have the signal direction. United States, Great Britain, Switzerland AC plugs have a way to connect to the AC in combination, it + and – phase it may not. So in such cases it is not easy to find the correct polarity.

Electronic components can work properly regardless of polarity. Our Television sets, refrigerators, light bulbs, computers more. Why the AC polarity is very important in Hi-Fi!

Power comes from (+) is the electronic Driving circuit and of (-) Generally power arrives in the unit's power first then reduced to the desired voltage of the electronic circuits. In this Case is automatically filtered by the network of power supply section. The transformer of the power supply section acts as an isolation transformer, input and output currents are spatially separated. If the polarity is wrong, the power system is to come directly out the back door and bear all the pollution, such as RFI / EMI in the unit. Due the fact is it important to find out the correct polarity.

Most of the electronic "polarity is similar. If the device has with removable power cord and IEC kind of input, should the right hole of the (+) net if you look at the connector front the front (see below)

Another simple method is to check the line fuses. If the device is provided with an outer protective fuse with the fuse and check it verified by a current pin while the device was connected to the mains. It should be (+) signal. If not, reverse the plug from the wall

14. Volume level, it is certainly nobody's business to tell you what is the right volume setting. Some audiophiles like very low volume, some turn broken on the volume until the windows are.

If the result of the ambience of the recorded event is to achieve volume can be adjusted accordingly, However, no more or no less. This case is for acoustic instruments, but not limited to electronic music, jazz or disco etc.

What ever the listened Record is correct volume should be the one who does not shrink or enlarge the original instrument. Higher amounts may, for example, a guitar should be played with the original volume of a guitar by correct setting of the volume. If the volume is increased, the body the guitar was greater in old terms, on the other hand is not the full body of a Mormon choir as realistic small amounts

15. Warming up of speakers and cables, before critical listening; addition to the theory that "solid-state electronics their best sound for a few minutes for the Transistors became warm. "Every single audio equipment requires a warm-up. This time at least 1 / 2 hour or even 1 hour is recommended in spite of fewer suppliers. Up to my knowledge, the reason behind this is the specifications of the resistors, capacitors, tubes and other things change if they are cold or warm. Manufacturers make final settings when the devices are warm, otherwise they would play for the first half hour and worse perfect for warming up.

Capital utilized by each audiophile for the electronics industry, but not always for the speakers and cables.
Speakers are very important, as should their passive components as crossover resistors are heated. Your voice coils should also be heated. The cables are also important. Warm up clause can not be considered for the cable, but the cables should be run for some time before their dielectrics are loaded.

As a result, the heating time should be completed by playing (perhaps not hear) the whole system.

16. Proper selection of speakers for Listening Room, speakers should be selected in conjunction with the listening room dimensions. Unfortunately, the general trend in Audiophile especially in the U.S. is the "bigger is better"

It's like some new points of skiers, the best Ski equipment choose before and after learning behind with so many problems.

Big speakers are difficult to position, difficult to drive, more affected from the room beyond. If the speaker is larger for the space, excessive bass energy will reduce the rest of the sounds. The major means Speakers major problems. Driving requires large speakers challenge, experience, resources, time and money.
