| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. I spoke to the designer and the 600ohms load input is in fact a transformer not set with a resister. So it would seem that this is a transformer coupled design. I tried a CAT ultimate Mk11 last night (100ohms output) and its very good, transparent... | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. Hi larryi, What you describe is what I was finding. Almost no bass response. They do a matching 600ohm output linestage. If I cant make other Pre-amps work ( I'm trying the CAT sl1 tonight ) I may end up getting their matching amp. Its not too ex... | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. Omsed, I may end up doing that. Been contemplating something like that if I'm unhppay at the end of all this . I'd still need a good pre though. thanks. | |
| Looking to get back into Vinyl. Hi All, well, things have moved on since I asked the original question. In the end I ended up with a TT weights Gem, I added a Kuzma 4point tone arm and I'm using the everlasting denon 103r. Phono stage is a Mk1 Tube Herron stage. Its fantastic. S... | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. Hi Wrm57, you are right.... looking at their web site the more costly VAC pre-amps recommend an input impedance of >300ohms, which would work for my amps. Thanks for your response. | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. Hi Wylmars. Of the amps you mention above I'd love to hear the Viva's . Listening to my 845 based amps (http://www.psvane.com/?Jkg/t845/) .The pictures don't do them justice. I think that when I've nailed the pre-amp issue They'll be fantastic. Yo... | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. Thanks for your ideas gents.Ralph, financially I like the sound of modifying the input to present a different impedence. Is this a "difficult" thing to achieve ?? I know that's a nasty question given the lack of info.Would both the mp1 and the mp3... | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. Wow, this thread has taken on a life of its own. Excellent !! I thought I'd drop in to give a quick update on where I am with the power amplifier experiments with WMSE. 1. So I bought the Sophia 300b monos and a new set of tubes ( psvane 6sn7 / So... | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. I love it when we all get along. :-).Atmas, thanks for the insights into your design aims. Its very nice of you to share them with us.When my speakers finally arrive (its killing me) I'll experiment and tell you what I liked and why I thought that... | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. Phew !!! For a minuet there I thought It was all getting grumpy and out of hand ;-). Atma, I appreciate you'r physics based approach to your explanations. Seems to make sense to me.Charles, I like you're open and philosophical approach to the clas... | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. Bit of a side step. Does anyone know , or know anyone who knows anything about these amps ?? http://shop.grantfidelity.com/Psvane-845T-Super-Tube-Power-Amplifier-Pair.htmlThese guys make some well respected tubes, but I cant find anything about th... | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. Thanks Dover, If i struggle down the room, I'll give it a go. | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. Correction:- JL2 not SL2 and it was 9k. | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. I'm pleased this thread has invoked some very interesting comments.Atmas, I like your explanation of why DHSET do what they do. Very easy to understand, it makes sense to me, especially in context of what the 45's and Duos did for me. I don't thin... | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. Charles, thank you for your encouragement. It reads as if it has plenty of DH SET magic, and I've read about people driving Sonus Faber Guarneris adequately as well so should be fine power wise.Phaelon, I think that its the original, I'm waiting o... |
