| Synergistic Red Fuse ... The hiss reduction functionality that is provided these days in professional audio editing programs works in a far more sophisticated manner than simply rolling off the highs. For example, the user can define a very brief segment or segments of th... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Joe (Jafreeman), yes, the reason I asked about the subs is that connecting a sub to the outputs of amplifiers that are balanced or bridged or monoblocks can be tricky, and I’ve seen a lot of posts here in which people have described doing that in ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Jafreeman 9-27-2017 I am hoping Almarg and peers will answer my question about AC mains and the functions of their fuses, as I am quite surprised with the sonic gift they are providing. I can’t explain that, Joe. Obviously a 10 amp fuse comes a bi... | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification David, I can't shed any additional light on your question beyond what Charles and Kenny have said. Best of luck as you proceed.Best regards,-- Al | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! That’s interesting, Aniwolfe. It reminds me of this thread from a couple of years ago in which a member reported that his PL Prologue integrated amp had a "motorboating" problem when playing at high volume levels with his Golden Ear Triton Two spe... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! Willemj, the Thorloki statement quoted in your post just above was in his original post, of course. Subsequent posts by me and by Atmasphere, as well as a subsequent reference by Mr. Deal to his tech’s suspicion of an oscillation, all add up to it... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! Willemj, thank you for the clarification. But nevertheless that sounds like the preamp had a different problem than the OP's. As I and Atmasphere have said, and as Kevin Deal suggested (when he mentioned that an oscillation was suspected), DC do... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Cleeds, I wouldn’t by any means say that Charles is "completely mistaken." While it is of course true that there are differences in the taper characteristics of various volume controls, it is also true that, as he said, "35 db is far too much for ... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! Willemj 9-25-2017 I have just found back a letter from another user who reported that a failed capacitor in his PrimaLuna Dialogue preamplifier destroyed a Harbeth SHL5+ speaker.... PrimaLuna talked this man into buying a PrimaLuna power amp as we... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! DC input protection should be de rigeur for most amps, especially one with such high current you could weld with it. Hi Erik,See my earlier posts in this thread. It appears more likely than not that the amp **does** have DC input protection, in th... | |
| Long distance between preamp and power amp Dentdog, I don't see any issues with what you've described. In fact the design of the Leto seems ideally suited to a situation involving a lengthy connection to an unbalanced input. John Atkinson's measurements of the output impedances of the Let... | |
| Long distance between preamp and power amp I couldn’t find an output impedance spec on the C712, or anything that would provide an indication of how its balanced outputs are generated. But given that it is a solid state design chances are its output impedance is relatively low. And given t... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! Thorloki 9-24-2017 Mr. Deal, I ask you this, are you going to recall all the pre amps, THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY SOLD and are in customers systems?Or, are you just going to lay low and hope that clients with blown speakers don’t make the connection to... | |
| Long distance between preamp and power amp There’s no reason to consider selling such a fine amp. If it proves to be necessary you could connect a suitably chosen Jensen transformer (ca. $275) between the preamp and the amp (close to the amp), to convert balanced to unbalanced. That would ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Tom (Theaudiotweak), thank you for the comprehensive response to my previous post.Best regards,-- Al |
