| What is the best amplifier for Tannoy Kensington ? Yes, Tannoys are easy to drive, and don't benefit from being bi-amplified. You are best off just giving it your best shot with the amp. | |
| Tube amp for ProAc Tablette Anniversary Unless you are listening near field you will want some power on this speaker. Smaller SETs will be disappointing. | |
| Recommendations for Electronic Crossovers - HELP If I were you I would look at the numbers in your original post. You are putting 50 watts on top and 200 on the bottom. Can you run the speaker with just one amp?I think what you will find when you install the crossover is that an additional veil ... | |
| Amp Shutting Down, need help If it was harmonics, no electrician can help you. The power company can though. Its the 5th harmonic (300Hz) that causes most of the troubles and it can cause transformer cores to become noisy. Not heard of it actually causing an amplifier to shut... | |
| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? The arm falls into a tradition that goes back to the 1950s- pivoted arms that are capable of 0 degree tangential error.If interested there is an extensive thread with lots of photos and diagrams on DIYaudio.com:http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/analo... | |
| Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions Stay away from room EQ! If you want to complicate things (which you say you don't want to do) EQ is a good place to start. The problem you are up against is that you are dealing with a very transparent speaker, and the effects of DSP are easily au... | |
| What is the best amplifier for Tannoy Kensington ? We have a few customers that have the larger Tannoys. They seem to prefer our M-60 amplifiers, which have a greater amount of power (really handly on the big Tannoys as their efficiency is in the high 90s, which makes them unsuitable for lower pow... | |
| What is the single best pre amp you have ever hear Orpheus10, I can, but not sure if it would fall within the guidelines. | |
| Which power amplifier match audio research ref 3 Whatever amp it is, in addition to the high input impedance you will also want an amplifier with a balanced input. If the input of the amplifier is differential, so much the better. | |
| What is the single best pre amp you have ever hear The best I have heard so far is our own, but of course I should be expected to say that. I like it because there are no coupling caps at the output, unusual in a tube preamp. This makes it very fast with very deep bass. Other preamps that I also l... | |
| Amp and speaker matching. That is understandable. Dynaudio loudspeakers are designed for transistors. Its hard to make them sound right with tubes. | |
| Capacitor Size Your technician was on the level. Its a general rule of thumb that electrolytic capacitors (the kind found in power supplies) decrease in size in newer versions. It was that way in the 1970s and is still true today. | |
| Lazarus Audio any Schematics Anyone? The preamp was based on a modified Dynaco PAS-3 without tone controls that was published in an old Glass Audio magazine. | |
| Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No Yes, 'tight' bass will be 'better' with higher damping. The issue is, best I can make out, is that 'tight' bass does not exist in the real world. Its seems to be an artifact of stereos. If you have ever turned up the volume seeking more impact the... | |
| Passive Pre-amp: Improves overall sound quality?? Brownsfan, I think I agree with you; I have seen this, but really I used that example to make the point but it was also something I had experienced (BTW the person that had those cables was ecstatic that he was able to sell them and actually have ... |
