| McIntosh MC901's internal active crossover & speaker's internal passive crossover If you want to replace your internal passive crossover with an external crossover, then you need separate wires to your tweeters, midrange, and woofer from the crossover. I looked up the Mc901. It is a hybrid amp that wants to drive your woofers... | |
| Help with hiss Unplug the interconnects from your preamp. that will rule it out. is there anything else plugged into your amps (besides power)? If it is still there, then it is likely a power or interference issue as Erik has described. It can't really be an... | |
| Help with hiss Assuming the hiss comes from both speakers, then it is not your speakers or your amplifiers. It comes from further upstream, a component that processes both channels. I would guess your preamp. | |
| Speakers sounding dull? MUST READ! The truth about speaker design! Wow, what a controversial post. | |
| Can we create a consensus list of the TONALITY of different amps/preamps/brands? @thyname my new password manager program didn't work out. | |
| DEVIALET EXPERT 200. OK TO LIFT GROUND? @erik_squires I started to post the same thing you just posted but then I thought about your report on your luxman that you found circuits hooked to the ground rather than the black wire.... | |
| Power Cable in White It would be cheap and easy to put white shrink tubing on any power cable. Jerry | |
| Cured My Lack of Bass Problem Great to hear that the powered woofer has been integrated well. I'm an ML fan. I've gone tube now but have pair of CLS in my second system. With the ML awesome clarity and mids, sounds like the 13 is a great choice. I had my eye on a pair of... | |
| Can we create a consensus list of the TONALITY of different amps/preamps/brands? No. There will never be consensus. If this thread grows legs, it will be people disagreeing with each other. Personally I recommend against publishing a rating on equipment you have never heard but that is common here. I'd say most of the com... | |
| I feel it is time to upgrade my 1977 system....... You need 2 watts to drive those speakers. The first review of them I found lauded them for great sound with a type 45 tube amp (1.8 wpc). You said you don't want a tube amp but you could consider a simple 300b or 2A3 with single input tube per c... | |
| Luxman 507ux Empower Project Awesome! | |
| Luxman 507ux Empower Project Sounds about right. Whenever you start upgrading you find a lot of things to fix. Especially if you are the kind of guy who likes to have it right. I like a point to point amp better, but that is tubes. I'm in favor of the 15 amp fuse. It won... | |
| Innuos and Roon? I use Roon and an Innuos Zenity MK3. Very satisfied. I do not install the core on the streamer. I have a separate core. The thinking is that you want the core processing to happen on a different machine that the streaming is done. I do inte... | |
| Anybody here upgrade from Chord Qutest DAC" After borrowing my friend's Cutest for a week, I bought DAVE and never looked back. Very happy. Added M-scaler. even happier. Good luck, Jerry | |
| An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers So @audiofreak32 is pissed at Tekton and is digging up every old Tekton-bashing thread he can find and posting his story on it. Lots of emotion in his writing. Maybe romance novels next. If anyone wants to hear a pair of Tektons supplied by an ... |
