| Prima luna Pro Logue intergrated amp.... Will it make my Martin Logan's sing? The somewhat limited power capability of the PrimaLuna amp is not the only concern I would have in pairing it with the M-L Vantage speakers. Although the output impedance of the amp is not specified, nor is its damping factor from which its output... | |
| Speaker selector that can handle a fully balanced/differential output amplifier. I don’t know of any, but if your intent is to select which of two left channel speakers is connected to the left channel monoblock, and which of two right channel speakers is connected to the right channel monoblock, and assuming you can find a se... | |
| Unique problem - one channel silent under different variables I’m not sure I understand this. In this latest experiment was it the speaker cables that were switched (per Yogiboy’s suggestion), or the interconnect cables (as seems to be implied when you said "the right channel is supplying the left amp")? Or ... | |
| Unique problem - one channel silent under different variables While it is true that the coupling caps could be having a problem, its not been explained how this is alleviated by swapping channels! Yes. Which is one reason I had asked:... have you done enough experimentation to be certain that what fixes th... | |
| Spectron musician ii hybrid monoblock question I would expect that the input impedance of each of the amp’s inputs is the same regardless of whether the amp is being used in mono or stereo. The 10x rule of thumb guideline for impedance compatibility should ideally be applied at the frequency f... | |
| Spectron musician ii hybrid monoblock question Yes, that will function ok. However I’m not sure that the resulting sonics would be optimal in the case of the LS17-SE and some other ARC line stages, due to impedance compatibility issues. In the case of the LS17-SE (as well as many other ARC lin... | |
| Unique problem - one channel silent under different variables Denis, I found a thread from about two years ago at another forum in which the OP had a problem with an intermittent popping noise in one channel of a Cary SLI-80 integrated amp. That amp was introduced in approximately the same timeframe as your ... | |
| Unique problem - one channel silent under different variables Thanks for the clarifications, Denis. Apologies if I inferred too much from your initial post (which I did). I have found that if I leave the preamp on constant standby, the issue is resolved. That's obviously a key finding, but again it doesn'... | |
| Unique problem - one channel silent under different variables Hi Denis,As you’ve surmised, it sounds like the preamp has a problem that needs to be sorted out via professional troubleshooting. The symptoms you’ve described don’t point to any specific cause, as far as I can tell.But as Jond indicated it sound... | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today CDC, markup tags are no longer needed. Note the quote and link buttons above the box in which responses are composed. Just highlight the text you’ve composed in the text box to which you want one of those functions to apply, and click the appropri... | |
| Do you remember when Audiogon was just a bulletin board classified ad site? Love these old war stories. Yes, I subscribed to the old Audio Mart circular too, and recall waiting for it with bated breath. It came every two weeks, right?Yes, IIRC it sometimes came every two weeks or so, and sometimes a little less frequently... | |
| Do you remember when Audiogon was just a bulletin board classified ad site? I was also a subscriber to Walt Bender’s AudioMart for a number of years, circa early 1990’s, and I made a number of purchases and sales that worked out very nicely. But while most of the membership was very nice to deal with, there were at least ... | |
| DEQX Beginner seeking advice Hi Mike,Q1)I’m not aware of any such tutorial. But I think that if you read through the sections of the manual on room measurements and room corrections a couple of times you’ll find them to be a good deal less formidable than they may initially a... | |
| Bass is not enough !!! Speaker problem? Speaker cable? Power Amp? PC of Power Amp? I looked over descriptions of your equipment, which is indeed very fine, and I don’t see any compatibility issues involving the electronic components or the speakers.I did notice that the Wireworld Platinum Eclipse 7 you indicated is being used as... | |
| Which connection: RCA, XLR, COAX, OPTICAL? You’re welcome! Regarding putting an optical cable through the pipe, if there are any sharp bends in it I would expect that you should avoid glass cables, and use something like the more flexible Analysis Plus optical cable I linked to earlier. Al... |
