Discover the York High Fidelity Phono Preamp by Six Acoustic on Kickstarter

It must be tough to have a product ready, a Kickstarter campaign planned, and then being faced with a global shutdown. That is what happened with Canadian company, Six Acoustic, who recently launched the York, an "ultra" high fidelity phono preamplifier targeting new generations of vinyl enthusiasts looking for an extra level of audio performance that doesn't cost a fortune. And what is “ultra” high fidelity you might ask? According to Steve Meszlenyi, the company founder, it's a level of transparency where noise and distortion are “undetectable to the human ear and nearly impossible to measure with the most sophisticated instrumentation.”

Back EMF Phase Relationships in Moving-Coil Loudspeakers - Part 4

In this final article of the four-part series, Andy Lewis expands upon the Back EMF concepts hinted at in the previous three articles in this series. This article explores the Electrical and Newtonian filters and their intersections, observations on reactive parallel filters as pertains to Back EMF and energy losses. The theories can be applied to virtually all areas of loudspeaker design. This article was originally published in audioXpress, November 2018.

Back EMF Phase Relationships in Moving-Coil Loudspeakers - Part 3

In the third article of the four-part series, Andy Lewis continues his fascinating exploration of Back EMF Phase Relationships in Moving-Coil Loudspeakers. The author discusses what causes Back EMF to simulate inductor, capacitor, or resistor (LCR) components, and explores the concept of slip, in order to explain how and why it causes the impedance to be inductive, resistive, or capacitive, depending on frequency.

Back EMF Phase Relationships in Moving-Coil Loudspeakers - Part 2

In this article series, Andy Lewis explores the generation of Back EMF in the region of a loudspeaker’s resonance. In this second article of the four-part series, he performs simple “thought experiments” to make qualitative observations about the activity of a moving-coil driver in the region of its resonance.

Back EMF Phase Relationships in Moving-Coil Loudspeakers - Part 1

In this article, Andy Lewis explores the generation of Back EMF in the region of a loudspeaker’s resonance. He also demonstrates a method for calculating the position of the moving assembly (or “cone”) relative to input signal, using complex impedance measurements.

A New Turntable from McIntosh and It's Not That Expensive

McIntosh has unveiled a new turntable that brings its famous McIntosh sound and build quality at a new "low price" point. The new MT2 was announced with a suggested retail price of $4,000, which his significantly less than the brand's flagship MT5 ($8,000) and MT10 ($6,000). Of course you don't get the glowing green plate, but according to the company, you get the latest turntable technology with the New York giant’s legendary aesthetic, design and build quality.
