| Amp vs preamp question Mapman ...agreed!Tvad...same here. | |
| Review: Bel Canto Design e One DAC III DA converter DrubinHmmmm. Which USB driver and setup are you using now?In other words, how does the signal get out of the personal confuser and then to the speakers...??I'm simply not getting the things you mention just now.My sound stage is appropriate latera... | |
| Amp vs preamp question Tvad"Amp/speaker match is everything, IMO. That's my tune and I'm stickin' to it."Now theres a real stretch. So from this point going forward, you know exactly which amp, preamp, and loudspeakers to get simply from the numbers, huh?Good for you. P... | |
| Something New. Very likely the more astute owner of such media will be pretty careful with it... but what about their children? I guess I could experiment with my thumbdrives and see just what will mess them up, but I'd specualte the usual fare of heat, large EM... | |
| Review: Running Springs Audio Haley AC filter Classical1Thank you... now if only RSA would make a small Jocko... or a Haley on steroids. ;-) | |
| Amp vs preamp question Tvad.... it never ceases to amaze me how much minutia compells some folks. naturally there is more to preamp matching to amplifiers than simple impedance figures.... and just 'whose' figures should we use? Those claimed by the makers, or those cla... | |
| Onkyo sr805 to use as amp and pre-amp together? Jaguarcondor JM Labs makes some hungry speakers as their impedance figures are low.The info in the Onkyo manual suggests 6 ohm minimums.... it'll drive lower impedance units though.... but having them all around might be taxing.I'm curious too abo... | |
| Review: Bel Canto Design e One DAC III DA converter DrubinUSB jittery?I hadn't noticed.... and I use a fairly lengthy USB cable too. Nope. I'm not getting that with mine.Like yourself I'm also looking into using another input rather than USB.Time will tell. | |
| Amp vs preamp question Perhaps the term high needs some definition My vk5i total output imp was 800 ohms, 400 per phase the vk32 has an output imp total of 600 and the Rex is 200 per phase or 400. .. Im figuring the VK 51 is in there somewhere between 400 & 800... | |
| Tube Pre-amp with SS AMP or stay all SS? CampbelrI'm sure a matching level preamp to the mono blocks will be a fine fit impedance wise. I won't say it's going to be the very best sounding, nor the worst. Therein lies the fun of matching and swapping other components about.the general rul... | |
| Review: Running Springs Audio Haley AC filter Thanks very much for your notes and interest.I think everyone is trying to build a better or best mouse trap. How one of many can be the best is solely subjective. The Haley has some very attractive attributes.I've found in my limited experience a... | |
| My head hurts.... MAC or PC?Well, what's on hand right now? Really? then try that first.As has been posted there are many levels, and flavors along the way in ANY realm of audio.Begin with what you have now. it might suprise you what can be done with it. It sure di... | |
| Amp vs preamp question A Friend of a friend of mine owns the 7 series Thiels, and has put in place several differring amps, as is my understanding. Krell, Ayre, BAT, and I think a Classe. I'm pretty sure a few Tube amps as well. Last I heard he liked both the BAT vk500 ... | |
| DIY cable elevators Christmas is coming up soon... don't throw away the fruitcake! it makes great isolation devices. | |
| Review: Bel Canto Design e One DAC III DA converter KenobiYou're welcome, and too kind.There are more dimensions to a system's piece than mere performance.... and for some, those areas are important.Drubin My pick of the two... D10 or DAC3 came down to a 'systems needs' situation for me.That being ... |
