| Use of a Schiit Loki with Dynaco PAS 3x You already did the change- I think you're good to go.Have you refurbished the PAS-3?? If its stock, it needs new power supply filter capacitors for both the high voltage and the filament supply! I would also replace the selenium rectifier with a ... | |
| Might try a tube preamp Since your amplifier is integrated and there doesn't appear to be a direct input to the power amp section, I don't see how a preamp tube or solid state would help.But the amp does have a set of balanced inputs and seems to be internally balanced, ... | |
| which is a better match for best results which is the best suited pre amp for rock and jazz Electronics can in no way favor a certain form of music! Can't happen- no how no way. | |
| cart/phono stage compatibility - Help! Set the load impedance as high as possible. if you encounter brightness, begin to lower the load impedance.The load impedance is not for the benefit of the cartridge. It is there to prevent Radio Frequency Interference from messing with the input ... | |
| Might try a tube preamp What is your budget? Do you need a phono section? What amplifier are you driving? Does it have a balanced input? | |
| Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker Another person to contact about an active tube crossover would be Tom Tutay 1-850-244-3041 He does not have a web presence. | |
| RCA to XLR vs XLR to RCA... Converting Input or Output - Does It Matter?? I was just wondering if replacing the adapters w/Jensen tranny and adding another cable would be likely to provide enough Sq improvement to justify the cost.I doubt it very much. The less transformers in the signal chain the better IME. | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve Roger, I recommend you try some measurements on this bit yourself. Its obvious to me that you have not. Its simple enough to do. Bascom is a nice guy and I've always had respect for him, but he screwed this one up. People are human. Its a common ... | |
| Advice on pre-amps needed Since your amplifier has a balanced input, to best take advantage of it I recommend a preamp with a balanced output, preferably one that supports the balanced standard as does your amplifier.If the preamp supports the standard, you will find that ... | |
| RCA to XLR vs XLR to RCA... Converting Input or Output - Does It Matter?? @srosenbergYou might ask BAT how well their preamp does with single-ended inputs.Our balanced preamps don't seem to care much if the input is single-ended, in fact we provide RCA connections for that purpose. The preamp converts any single-ended i... | |
| Autoformer vs Speaker impedance Curve @almargNo. If that were the only factor transistor amps would be more sensitive than tube amps in this regard, and I don't see that happening (although transistor amps don't have a filament circuit to cool off). I suspect Kirchoff's law might be i... | |
| I need your help. I have an ARC Ref 3, ARC 110, Vandersteen 5As, but no turntable. Nkonor who is Ralph?@jaym759 that's me. | |
| Tube experts - tell me about my Matsushita ecc803S That was a great tube! They showed up in the early 1980s. Short-lived production though. | |
| Neutral or Detailed. You can't have both A truly, measurably, objectively neutral speakers doesn’t come alive until the volume is turned up, but will lack the perception of detail, because those details come from exaggerated and often rough treble responses. Two very detailed speakers... | |
| Autoformers, The Benefits in matching amp to speaker I have tried a crown vfx-2a, audio control, ace, an old ESS from my super quads, and an Audio Research tubed unit. All of them work but I hear a lot more detail passive. We used the Marchand Tube crossover, which IMO is one of the best made, b... |
