| Best amp for $550 to mate with the following... Interesting I've heard the xls 2500 and I prefered the class d audio. However my friend who owns the crown also has a pair ofhypex ncore mono blocks. He has often said he prefers the crown. | |
| Need advice on a tube line stage Springbok how would you describe the differences between the Tad 150 and the Avant? I've been thinking of changing preamps lately. | |
| Best amp for $550 to mate with the following... Class d audio is a great bargain I love mine and It bettered everything I've owned including the stratos extreme. | |
| Tad 1000's quiet? Ah Philly I used to live there I miss it. | |
| Tad 1000's quiet? Are they biased? Do you own a multimeter? | |
| Tad 1000's quiet? Just to make sure do you have the gain knob in the back of the amp turned all the way up? As I said I own the 150 pre and had the 60 tube amp. I would say tad gear is great value for the money and if you get it sorted out you may be very happy. Ha... | |
| Tad 1000's quiet? Shouldn't you have a pair of 6v6 tubes in the place of the el34? In not too familiar with this amp but having 1 el34 tube in each amps seems odd to me. | |
| Tad 1000's quiet? One or two el34's? | |
| Tad 1000's quiet? He states that it has always been this way and I asked what kind of tubes he has in it because as you said Johnny if HD is using 12au7's that could cause the low gain issue. Brinmeliss, did you buy these pieces new or used? If you purchased them s... | |
| Tad 1000's quiet? Also want to make sure the power tubes are properly biased. | |
| Tad 1000's quiet? Yes as zd points out run the 3.5mm headphone/rca cable to the inputs on your monoblocks. If I am not mistaken the tad 1000 each have a volume/gain control. Turn down the volume first and then slowly turn it up once you have music playing. | |
| Tad 1000's quiet? Did you run the iPhone straight into the amp bypassig the preamp? | |
| Tad 1000's quiet? Have you used either the pre or the amps with different equipment to narrow down the problem? I would try running a source straight to the amps since the have a gain control to see if its the amp. Also what tubes are you using in the preamp? | |
| Sealed / Front-ported monitor recommendations I would give DSPeaker antimode 2.0 a try it really cleaned up the bass when I owned it. Now I am using speakers with active subwoofers built in that can be adjusted to the room. Best of luck. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Dan I echo your comments about the class d amps. I have one and it is one of the best audio bargains out there. |
