| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Jeff (Jwm), I could be missing something but I don’t see why Fsmithjack’s suggestion wouldn’t work in your application. Communications between the router and the DAC would occur no differently than they presently do, if a network switch is inserte... | |
| Throughly disappointed with my new Yamaha A-3000 Integrated....... Were you thinking perhaps the sub was plugged into the speaker connections? I was asking if you had ever done that to make sure it wasn’t the case, because if you had ever done so it could easily account for the symptoms you described. And I suspe... | |
| Throughly disappointed with my new Yamaha A-3000 Integrated....... Dhpeck 12-24-2017 6. I just unplugged my Sub now as the rca cables are a bit bent up; however it didn't affect play for 2 hours yesterday without shutting off. By any chance have you at any time had the sub connected at speaker level? If so, t... | |
| Simple copper speaker terminal jumpers? Lost my originals. To add to the uncertainty about which terminals to connect the speaker cables to, there is a third possibility, which a number of members have indicated they prefer. That would be to connect one of the two wires in the cable to the low frequency t... | |
| Adcom? Geoffkait 12-23-2017 I’m pretty sure Lockheed Martín, Northrop Grumman and Boeing are quite capable of building aircraft electronics. As a former employee of the electronic systems division of Northrop Grumman I can confirm that this is correct... | |
| Biggest impact: moving from integrated to separates @asp307 If the output impedance of the line stage is 10K or less at all audible frequencies, **or** if the output impedance doesn't vary very much over the frequency range even if it does exceed 10K, there won't be an impedance compatibility probl... | |
| Biggest impact: moving from integrated to separates @asp307 they said 100K OK, if so you won’t have an impedance compatibility problem connecting any reasonably designed line stage to the variable outputs.That would certainly explain, though, why they added a buffer stage for that output in the Ma... | |
| Biggest impact: moving from integrated to separates Asp307, has there been any word from Rogue on the output impedance of the variable output?BTW, for those who may own a Cronus Magnum II, I found the following statement in a description of that version of the amp at a dealer’s site: The Cronus Mag... | |
| Why does unplugging/replugging TT leads from tube phono pre-amp reset dead channel? Jmfawdofile 12-22-2017 Suggestions on loading to address this issue? It sounds fine as it’s currently set. Joe, the main reason I suggested that you determine what the loading is set to is that it might help in determining the cause of the problem... | |
| Why does my system now have shrill top end. +1 Jim (Jea48). Although it may seem improbable, I would not by any means rule out the possibility that BOTH amps have succumbed to the very high capacitance of the speaker cables.Also, I would add the following to the quotes you provided, this on... | |
| Biggest impact: moving from integrated to separates Awesome! Thanks for letting us know.I would suggest, though, that you follow up with him by asking what the output impedance of the variable output is. Assuming that the "variable output" is in fact an output, that output impedance will be seen as... | |
| Biggest impact: moving from integrated to separates asp307 12-19-2017 I am not looking to upgrade both amp and line stage at this point, just one or the other with the next upgrade probably occurring next year. I can continue using the Cronus Magnum either as a line stage or amp so I have flexibili... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Is the frequency a factor in the spl? I would think so, Stfoth, to some degree. That would seem likely based on the fact that (as you can see in the figure at the upper right of the Wikipedia page on "Equal Loudness Contour") our hearing mechanism... | |
| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? Stfoth, as Mapman indicated the net result of the myriad factors and tradeoffs that are involved in a middle ground situation such as you've described will come down to a combination of the specific designs and listener preference. And chances ar... | |
| Why does unplugging/replugging TT leads from tube phono pre-amp reset dead channel? Lew, not sure you saw that shortly before you posted the OP indicated that he tried connecting the RCA plugs to the BAT’s XLR input connectors via adapters, with the problem nevertheless presenting itself subsequently.Joe, no problem re not having... |
