| speaker impeadance question Obviously having at least a decent understanding of this helps when trying to match speakers to amplifiers. These are typically not topics that are discussed when making purchases from a dealer. At least I have never had this conversation, but ma... | |
| speaker impeadance question Gotcha. | |
| speaker impeadance question Thanks Al and Erik. Good stuff. Thanks. For the info. Very interesting conversation. | |
| speaker impeadance question @almarg Al,just curious. What would be the benefit of using an amp that delivers constant voltage vs constant wattage? Is one type typically better than the other in regards to SQ? Or does it really all boil down to component matching? -Keith | |
| speaker impeadance question @almarg Perfect. This is a subject that I just don’t have a lot of experience with and I tend to stay away from tweaks that involve input/output current. And I try to stay within manufactured recommendations so I’m just trying to do my diligence t... | |
| speaker impeadance question Ok thanks for all the great replies. However now that we have cleared up that I’m using SS amps. Has the consensus changed any? Will I cause any damage to either the speaker or the amp by using them on the 8 ohm taps? I think this is my main ques... | |
| speaker impeadance question Thanks for the response Duke and Erik. Right I am aware that speakers change impedance at different frequencies. I was only concerned because I changed from the 4 ohm to 8 ohm outputs. Which is why I looked for the data in the first place before c... | |
| speaker impeadance question Thanks. I plan to keep it on the 8 ohm connections for about a week and further evaluate which of the two I like the best but from what I heard last night I think I like the way they sound on the 8 ohm tap. I was a little concerned about the possi... | |
| phono pre-amp being replaced P.S.the above comments are not intended to shutdown the conversation. I do enjoy reading your opinions. So if anyone has other opinions, suggestions, etc on this topic please continue. Just to be clear. | |
| phono pre-amp being replaced All,The difference in output (volume levels) between sources has become less of a concern since I starred this thread. Maybe I needed someone to bring me down to earth a little You know how it is with this hobby.... you get the itch to spend money... | |
| phono pre-amp being replaced @trknomo yes and while the phono stage in the C2600 is indeed EXCELLENT it’s just not as good as the ARC IMO. However to be fair I typically will evaluate a change over at least two weeks and the comparison I did was only about a day. I felt soni... | |
| phono pre-amp being replaced Interesting position in regards to the system sounding better with the volume level higher on lower output devices:https://youtu.be/k1JkU5tUOLoThe comments are basically a combination of you guys comments, but I thought it was interesting. | |
| phono pre-amp being replaced @bpoletti "Now that you've actually spoken with Keith Herron, you might consider his support as an additional reason to get a VTPH-2A. You get Keith Herron along with it."Very true. I enjoyed the conversation I had with him. Very smart, seems to ... | |
| phono pre-amp being replaced @jmolsbeg. Lol. Interesting. Yeah I have not read a bad word about it. Definitely has my interest peaked. We will see. Keith told me that if I Am not impressed that he would refund my money. I’m definitely considering giving it an audition. | |
| phono pre-amp being replaced @pbnaudio Thanks I will also take a look. |
