| Need a preamp? The Cary is not the most neutral preamp around IMO. So a passive would work quite well in your situation as you already know. I think you can get switch boxes to switch between inputs. Since you already have an internal volume control in the amps ... | |
| Recommendation for higher power tube amp Efficient speakers MAY help, but an efficient speaker may introduce a difficult load for that particular amp. The crossovers or some other feature may confuse the amp.IME this is an *extreme* rarity. Usually efficient speakers are a much easier ... | |
| Digital Cabling questions in new set-up With digital cabling the characteristic impedance of the cable will have a big impact on how many errors you get. The better controlled the less errors- which means such a cable can go faster. So pay attention to what the equipment is set up for- ... | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? you CAN have bass that is accurate, detailed, smooth, natural and effortless with two subs, end of story. Sure. That is why I qualified my comment: **If** you encounter a standing wave, it often cannot be fixed with only 2 subs. And it can't be f... | |
| Thoughts on a new tube amp for high end rig? The last piece! Wilsons have always been easy to drive; apparently the phase angles are not bad on their current lineup. A set of MA-2s will be fine with this speaker. | |
| Conrad Johnson ART amps - Watts at 8 ohms vs 4 ohms The idea with most loudspeakers (but by no means all) is to drive them with something called a 'voltage source'. A voltage source simply is able to make the same voltage regardless of load.Tubes can do this, but only up to their power limit, which... | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? Dear @noble100 : """ All DBA systems will provide accurate, detailed, smooth and natural bass that has an effortless quality to it. """as can do it non DBA subs system.This statement is false. If you encounter a standing wave, it often cannot be f... | |
| Amp shut off and came back again. 2" is insufficient room for cooling above most amplifiers! For a space that restricted I would use a fan for cooling. You need a good 10" to a foot above the amp- otherwise even though the heat might not trip the protection, the amp will be runnin... | |
| Recommendation for higher power tube amp OK- we can do the math again. 200 watts is about 4x the power of the amp in the OP. That's about 6dB. So the speakers are ***84dB 1 watt/1 meter***! If a speaker that was only 90 dB (which is easy to find) the amp he has now would make the same so... | |
| Turntable Mat question @rocky1313 Others have given you the clarification you asked for as well as I could. | |
| Permanent 50hz If you have to put your ear to the speaker to hear any artifact its quite literally no concern. Almost any amplifier will have some audible artifact in that situation.Don' worry'bout it. | |
| Jadis Orchestra Reference - Resistors Based on the size of other components nearby these have to be at least 1 watt devices. | |
| Turntable Mat question Atmosphere ...I would like to ask you about using record for record mat.You said that using an LP for record mat is trickier but should be the same hardness as traditional record mat. I have tried it ...sounds good.@rocky1313 What I said was But... | |
| Permanent 50hz @musicland1Its often quite normal for an amplifier to pick up noise if nothing is connected to its input. Its also normal for the amplifier to buzz if the preamp is connected but not powered up. | |
| Tubes or stick with S/S Several customers of ours have commented to us that our M-60s make the Tannoys sound the best of any amplifier they've tried. I get these comments but its rare that they tell me what the other amps are. It does appear though that if the amplifier ... |
