| Amp preamp impedance matching...can anyone explain? Al, isn't it the case that ARC does not recommend less than a 30K load with their preamps? I know that is true of at least one of the recent Ref series. | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? However, all of this products are voiced subjectively to have a different sonic character from one brand to the other.I think we can be quite certain that this is incorrect. I doubt that any of these preamps are 'voiced'. I don't know how things l... | |
| Need helps with hums, radio station in phono Hi Andy, now that you know a way to fix it, the next step is to find a way to correct the grounding problems that cause the need to lift AC grounds from the wall.For example what happens if the DAC is unplugged from the wall? Ca you ground everyth... | |
| R CHANNEL DEAD, CLICKING SOUND INSIDE AMPLIFIER Just in case, test your preamp by swapping the interconnect cables left for right at the input of the amplifier.If its the preamp the problem will move.If not, there is something that is tripping the speaker protection relay, meaning the amp needs... | |
| Need helps with hums, radio station in phono Huh? Not buying that one. | |
| A dilemma: Modern sound, Musical Bliss or both? ^^ true that. I stopped doing any serious auditions upon hearing the Classic Audio Loudspeaker T-3. Easy to drive, full range, detail of ESLs, what's not to like? Plus 60 watts is enough to shake my whole house. | |
| the best 'tubey amp - warm,smooth,liquid' ? ^^ none of which has anything to do with my prior comment. Look at the quote I made- the comment was addressed to that. | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Just me, but IMO they sound bright. | |
| Why does your turntable sound the way it does. The plinth is pretty important! One thing is for sure- the coupling between the platter and the cartridge mounting must not have any slop, nor can there be any difference in motion (for example, vibration in the plinth) that otherwise will allow f... | |
| Need help solving a hum problem Andy, don't listen to Peter with regards to the AC adaptors. If you have to resort to that, the equipment needs to be fixed as running it that way can be dangerous. | |
| Need helps with hums, radio station in phono He said to only earth ground one piece of your audio equipment. If your equipment has a 3-prong power cord, get a 3-prong to 2-prong adapter. He said this helps to get rid of more ground hum.If any of this ever makes a difference there is either a... | |
| Linear tracking vs. Pivoted tracking tone arms. Some of the Sotas had a vacuum system that kept the LP flat. The side that you weren't playing could get damaged by such use. That may have been corrected on later 'tables. | |
| A dilemma: Modern sound, Musical Bliss or both? The Indra should not be used with tubes, unlike the Eidelon. Its my opinion that you can get better sound with tubes, so I see this as a weakness in the Indra and also the Isis.But if you are using transistors maybe you will like this speaker just... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Audiozen, I can guarantee that the noise floor is not going to define the sound quality of any preamp, once it has gained acceptable levels. But excessive low noise floors do make me suspicious. A more important quality might be how the equipment ... | |
| the best 'tubey amp - warm,smooth,liquid' ? The input stage uses a 12AX7 configured as a long-tail pair phase splitter using a large tail resistor to ensure constant current source operation.:) He must be new to differential operation. You can't do that effectively with a resistor like that... |
