| Schiit setup troubleshooting I know this might be a dumb question but are the tubes in the Freya lit up? | |
| Atma-sphere Updates Atmasphere you know very well the comments I am alluding to.The only time I can think of was when I saw photos of a product that was held together with hot melt glue internally and commented on it. Such a product when dropped in shipment or the li... | |
| Amps I Like ^^Yes. | |
| Is dedicated PreAmp with Oppo 105 needed? If you can do single-ended one preamp in your budget is made by Don Sachs. Another is made by Backert Labs | |
| Amps I Like Ayre amps provide a lush dark backdrop which I've heard in no other amplifier. I don't mean they are dark sounding (i.e. reduced treble) but that the sound seems to emanate from absolute nothingness and explode without boundaries. An effect I'v... | |
| Atma-sphere Updates Regardless of the general quality or sound quality of the Atmasphere products I would not touch the stuff because Atmasphere seems to feel it is necessary to denigrate perceived competitors on this forum in a manner which could easily be seen ... | |
| Active pre-amp for “difficult” music (fusion) I used to believe that too, but you should listen to the Metrum Acoustics Adagio or Jade, or the Empirical Audio® line of DACs, either of which control the volume by adjusting the reference voltage - no lost bits and VC outside the signal path... | |
| Atma-sphere Updates @zipost If its that noisy there may be something wrong with it. We've seen a few cases where the constant current source for a given gain stage was able to oscillate; if that happens it can inject noise into the circuit.So you might want to contac... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load With the stat speaker, impedances can be as high as 30-100 ohms in the upper/lower bass, and 1 ohm or less in HF. This is more than the 10:1 ratio you cite, but still nowhere near as much as the inverse RIAA curve. Still, according to your th... | |
| Active pre-amp for “difficult” music (fusion) The idea that any sort of electronics is better at one genre of music as opposed to another is entirely mythological. What makes it good for rock or classical will also make it good for fusion. I had one person ask me what amp was best for down te... | |
| tube pre-amp for active monitors Not that I know of... | |
| tube pre-amp for active monitors If you want a tube preamp for that kind of money you are probably looking at something used and vintage. | |
| 30 Watts of class A power: What Speakers are you using and suggesting? I don’t want to muddy the waters with budget am asking what you are all using and I’ll use that information so make/ model works well. Well then. Classic Audio Loudspeakers Project T3.3 field coil drivers; no worries flat to 20Hz with dual 15"... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load The more general point is that the sound character is largely determined by the speaker, closely followed by the recording. Most good amps today have superb specs and sound fairly close to each other. @viber6 Actually this isn't true. It is t... | |
| power amp/pre amp input and output impedence question @kgveteran Yup! Sometimes the output impedance of some preamps isn't all that low (particularly tube preamps) even though on the right setup it can sound pretty nice. In some cases the manufacturer might not have even measured it. We don't specify... |
