| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? BTW I like all tube for classical and jazz, but for rock you gotta have that SS pre-amp in there to drive that bass. That's pretty subjective- I find that my tube amps can play bass better than any solid state amp on my system. I play a lot of roc... | |
| Cartridge Loading- Low output M/C The OP is asking for loading and not why many phono stages works in different way when we make load values.Who cares, he as any one of us already owns a phono stage it does not matter what and no one can make a world research to find out which ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I hope he's finally using terminal strips to hold his parts in place. | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? And yet there are guys out there who don’t care for the result. “It sucks the life out of the music”, is a commonly heard refrain (really - I’m being serious here!). Maybe they are reacting psychologically to the need to turn the volume contro... | |
| Cartridge Loading- Low output M/C @krelldog If the cartridge needs loading below 47K its an indication that the preamp is not stable with Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) at its input. The loading resistor is not for the cartridge, its for the preamp. This is because the cartrid... | |
| Best balanced linestage/preamp for $4000 or less ??? Atmasphere - do manuals generally indicate if the equipment meets the AES 48 standard?@oem-wheels Probably not. I would contact the manufacturer. It they can't simply say 'yes', the correct answer is likely 'no'. | |
| SL1200GAE New Tonearm unfortunatelly my dialogue with atmasphere was and is from a way different subject.That is true - mostly an apparent lack of decorum on Raul's part. | |
| SL1200GAE New Tonearm ^^ If you want to say stuff, you have to make sense.You've presented nothing in the way of argument to back your position, just personal attacks and accusations based on nothing. You need to up your game. | |
| SL1200GAE New Tonearm Problem is that atmasphere is a seller and always post to promote something of his busine$$.@rauliruegas I'm calling BS on this. Every Triplanar we've installed on SL1200G 'tables was shipped to us by the customer. Get your facts straight. | |
| Tube Amp & Speaker match Avoid four ohm speakers- go for 8 or 16 ohms. The output transformer is wider bandwidth and lower distortion into the higher impedances. | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? I think your the one that needs to lay off the false claims about passives with blanket statements about their ability to drive ect ect. Every time they are bought up, your on it to protect active preamps.Here is a person you should kneel to as... | |
| Best balanced linestage/preamp for $4000 or less ??? um , maybe not ... $5600 with phono... don't need that partThe MP-3 is also available as a line stage. | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? This is picking hairs and scare mongering, and just selecting a worst case scenario. 90% of amps are 33kohm input impedance or higher. The impedance of the amps is not the issue. The impedance of a 10K control is. Per your post prior to mine:It do... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? It doesn't matter one iota where the volume control is positioned here, these figures have a perfect impedance match regardless of volume position. As do 90% of sources and amps out there when mated to 10kohm passive volume controls. This state... | |
| Is getting a new pre-amp the right upgrade path? A tube preamp might be a really nice move. I would audition it if possible- to make sure it plays nicely with the other components. |
