| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? +1 | |
| Magnepan 20.7's & Tube Amp Ralph, wouldn't a set of Zero Autoformers be of help?The MA-2s don't care, but on a lot of amps, yes. We are in Magnaplanar's back yard up here in the frozen wasteland, so we have a good number of local customers running M-60s on some of the small... | |
| Most transparent power amp ^^ FWIW we've had good luck with Sashas running our MA-1s. I think it might be helped by a set of ZEROs (www.zeroimpedance.com) but the amp didn't sound like there were any problems making bass despite the Sasha's rather low impedance in the bass ... | |
| Esoteric C03 preamp or Mark Levinson 326S preamp- ANY and ALL FEEDBACK / HELP PLEASE I'm curious as to what you mean by this Ralph. I know many who are very happy with the ARC preamp/Pass Lab amp combination, including myself.Al got it- The input impedance of the Pass puts the ARC at its limit. It might work well for you, but th... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? Hmm. What is "tube" sound?Smoother and more detailed than transistor, more lower ordered harmonics which are harder for the ear to detect. Less higher orders that the ear easily detects as harshness.************************If you really really hav... | |
| What’s a good preamp to run with Krell FPB 350m monos that has 2 pairs of balanced outs Well my usual answer to Krell's is tube pre's, but Ayre is a great call with your impedance needs. Our MP-1 is tube, has dual balanced outputs and has no worries driving two pair of solid state amps without loss of bass performance. I agree the Ay... | |
| Magnepan 20.7's & Tube Amp which one has more amps into 4 ohms?This is a bit of a trick question. The amount of current will depend entirely on how much power the amp makes into 4 ohms. If 200 watts, the current will be 7.07 amps regardless of the amplifier involved, tube o... | |
| TriPlanar Tips The tonearm seems to want to skate outwards, even with zero anti skate applied and the weight removed from the little anti skate arm. It is evident at various settings of VTF, VTA, etc. The platter is very level and everything seems to be alig... | |
| Low heat alternative to FIRSTWATT J2 ? The reason the First Watt sounds like it does is its class A. Class A makes more heat; you're not going to find a cool running amp that is class A, so if you like the sound I would find a way to deal with the heat. Putting it in a refrigerator BTW... | |
| Esoteric C03 preamp or Mark Levinson 326S preamp- ANY and ALL FEEDBACK / HELP PLEASE I really don't understand why its down to these two preamps, but ifTransparency - Delicate - Linear - High resolution - microscope but not sterile not etched or lifeless - I know there is a fine Line here but I'm looking to walk the line as clos... | |
| TriPlanar tonearm outward skating issue Ha! Looks like I have to eat my words... sorry about that. | |
| TriPlanar tonearm outward skating issue Btw, the OP on this thread does not posted yet he solved the trouble.@rauliruegas , actually, yes he did. The solution I conveyed from Triplanar was in fact the correct solution and solved the problem. Please read the responses to any thread you a... | |
| TriPlanar tonearm outward skating issue ^^ I think there was some confusion somewhere; as soon as I mentioned this issue to Tri, he knew the problem and the fix. IOW I am very certain that Tri didn't say that he couldn't fix it. | |
| Can you recommend a good Pre-Amp for my audio system? SS = Solid state.Do you have a budget? | |
| TriPlanar tonearm outward skating issue Now, if Triplanar comes here and says that that issue is part of the toneaerm design at least the owners needs to know it but no explanation and not fixed trouble. !!!I own two of them and neither has this problem. I would contact Triplanar; bu... |
