| Transitioning from SS to tube amplification Dekay, thanks, I understand now and it makes sense. Atmasphere, thanks for the advice but having just bought the ML Ethos speakers, the Reference 3 A's, and the Primaluna amp, I'm going to have to consider some less expensive fixes for awhile, at ... | |
| Transitioning from SS to tube amplification Yes, Al, I took your previous explanation to heart and found that the best example of dynamic range in my favorites collection Is I n the overture from Tannheuser relative to the relatively quiet lead in to the overwhelming brass. The range in thi... | |
| Transitioning from SS to tube amplification Thanks, Grinnell. I really like these speakers and, so far at least, am pretty happy with the combination as described. I seldom listen at volumes that most would consider loud so, perhaps can keep the PL Prologue One. I currently have the preamp ... | |
| Peachtree Audio Nova - No subwoofer connection Yes, now I'll have to learn how to best adjust the sub to mate with my new speakers. I'll be starting a new thread on that subject soon. | |
| Peachtree Audio Nova - No subwoofer connection Well, it turns out that this is the way to go, Al. I hooked up the sub using splitters at the pre-out connections on the Nova and it sounds fine. When I tried this earlier I think it was during a time that I was also having trouble with one of my ... | |
| Peachtree Audio Nova - No subwoofer connection Thanks again, Al. I agree and will make those connections again. It's certainly the most straightforward approach. Also, because the subwoofer has its own room balancing capability I don't need to rely on the EQ to do that adjustment which is one ... | |
| Peachtree Audio Nova - No subwoofer connection ZD and Al, I'm always glad when you guys respond to my concerns and I've applied your advice more than a couple of times. This one, though, is a bit scary and I probably could have provided more information for you to consider in the first place. ... | |
| Peachtree Audio Nova - No subwoofer connection I appreciate the comments but I'm still having problems deciding how to go with this. I'm getting conflicting information not only from the Internet but from Peachtree Audio and Polk Audio as well. Peachtree says the only way to feed to the sub is... | |
| Toe-in recommendation for stand mount monitors Yes, Beemerrider. It makes sense and sounds pretty good. Btw, I just parted with my 8th BMW. | |
| Toe-in recommendation for stand mount monitors Beemerrider, Thank you. My situation with this partial wall to my right seems (I think) to dictate consideration in toeing requirements and I'm assuming that some toe in is necessary to reduce the influence of that surface. I found also that movin... | |
| Using digital preamp to tube power amp questions Mechans, the Cary amp that I want to try hasn't yet become available so I haven't had a chance to try it. The request for advice, though, wasn't meant to solicit "what if" hypotheses; I seriously wanted to know if I might expect to hear a tube inf... | |
| Using digital preamp to tube power amp questions Al, I have a call in to Mr Goka of Divergent Technologies to get what I can from him re this subject of sensitivity as well as his recommendations for upgrades or cap replacement for these 2 decade old speakers. I'm actually afraid to mess with th... | |
| Using digital preamp to tube power amp questions Atmasphere, much of your advice given to me in the past on this subject was during a time when I was committed to my ML's but now that I have started using these Serie Reference 3A's and I'm pretty sure I'm staying with them. These have an efficie... | |
| Using digital preamp to tube power amp questions Czarivey, input sensitivity for the 300SE is 0.75V for full output. The best I can determine is that the pre out voltage of the Nova is much higher than that so it seems that it should work. ZD, I really don't know enough to make an informed decis... | |
| Using digital preamp to tube power amp questions I just got some info on the amp. If my understanding is correct, it essentially consists of a single chassis housing two Cary 300 SE monoblocks. I'm not at all familiar with tube specifics nor do I know the model number of the dual mono-block unit... |
