| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? Georgehifi,You are correct. I have limited technical understanding of EPDR. I understand that a loudspeaker is not a resistive load. It is reactive and the reactance varies with frequency, as the phase angle varies with frequency. And the phase an... | |
| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? One caveat to my discussion:My listening “test” was brief - just a few hours. Perhaps long term listening would lead to different conclusions. At any rate, were I to replace my ss amps with low power (not fleawatt) tube power amp(s), I would prob... | |
| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? Stereophile’s Nov 2019 review of the Triton One.r has a few differences from the Keith Howard review.Measurements indicate that the impedance between the critical 80 to 200 hz range is between 4.1 and 5 ohms. And at the 80 Hz crossover approximate... | |
| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? Both are future possibilities, but I may be perfectly happy with the Upgraded SLP-05 and Pass XA60.5s.Cary is backlogged. So the upgrade could take a few weeks. | |
| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? I’m happy that my initial query on this thread, and the stimulating ensuing discussion has occurred. The experiment with the Stingray driving the Tritons has given me insight into future mods that I may choose for this system.For now the Stingray ... | |
| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? I’m sure that having a built-in 1.5 kwatt amplifier is responsible for behavior very different from purely passive speakers. | |
| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? I now believe that almost any amps will drive the Tritons, and that the low freqs will be handled well by the internal subwoofer amp.The ultimate sound quality can be tweaked to your liking by choosing an appropriate preamp/amplifier. | |
| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? Swapped the Manley Stingray into the system and did a couple of hours listening to three configurations driving the GE Triton One.Rs:1. Stingray in Ultralinear (40 watts)2. Stingray in Triode (20 watts)3. Cary Audio SLP-98p Formula 1 mod with Pass... | |
| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? Good to know. If the designer can drive the References with 8 set watts, then anything should work. I’ll try tubes, just to see how it affeccts sound quality. Should be interesting, as the internal woofer amps use entirely different technology. Ba... | |
| Goldenear Triton One.R - can it be driven with low power tube amp? I have access to a Manley Stingray II in another system. Have been reluctant to move embeddd equipment around, but I may switch in the low power tube amp for a trial this weekend. I’ll report on the results. | |
| Should I upgrade my Tubes Btw, not to go in another direction on this thread, but —Replacing the fuses had more of an effect in this amp than anywhere else in my systems. My guess is because the fuses are DIRECTLY in the audio signal path in this amp. Just trying to be hel... | |
| Should I upgrade my Tubes I had the same amp. Found that KT90s sounded better than KT120s, especially on voice. | |
| 100v,115v versus 230v Glupson.Of courseit’s safer with power off. But often units must be kept powered so that internal voltages, etc, can be checked. That’s when it’s best to keep one hand out of play. | |
| 100v,115v versus 230v I think some of you are confused about the phenomenon of human electrocution. It’s current through your core or heart that will kill you. About 100 to 200 milliamps is all that’s needed. Since your inner body has a low resistance, it’s the contact... | |
| Primaluna EVO 400 vs. stock Cary SLP-05 preamp? Decided on the SLP-05 Ultimate Upgrade. The preamp is on its way to Cary. In its place I’m using a Formula 1 modified Cary SLP-98P. To my ears, the mod’d 98P sounds better than the stock SLP-05. I’ll report on the mod’d 05 after I receive it. |
