| 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. | |
| Does HiRez really sound better? If 20,000 is the number then for the average consumer high rez is dead in the water and will remain a cottage industry. | |
| Does HiRez really sound better? I see this as one of the challenges of wide spread acceptance of high rez although as john darko states is an extreme example this does further illustrate nobles point.http://www.digitalaudioreview.net/2015/02/disrespecting-artistry-becks-morning-... | |
| Does HiRez really sound better? Steve you are absolutely right which brings up another question...how much money does one need to spend to actually hear a difference that is convincing? This is not like DVD vs vhs. You can stand and look at two TV's each running different format... | |
| Does HiRez really sound better? For most consumers the difference is negligible. As Raymonda says whether or not that matters is up to the individual. There will never be a consensus on this issue because it will never be widely accepted as common knowledge to be superior such a... | |
| Speakers for Vintage Marantz ? Plus other Qs Yes different I agree but I didn't say that. I said no better. Audiophiles often equate different as better. I didn't recommend the ADS because they are vintage but because they are simply better made than anything that is currently selling new in... | |
| Speakers for Vintage Marantz ? Plus other Qs I've heard the pioneer speakers that have been gushed about on here And other forums. With all due respect they are cheaply made and to me sounded no better than the budget klipsch and Bose that were on the shelf next to them. You will not find a ... | |
| Speakers for Vintage Marantz ? Plus other Qs Two speakers that I would recommend are ADS l710 or Boston Acoustics a150. Both can be found for around 200 if your patient. Ive used both on a Marantz 2285b with great results. | |
| Tad 1000's quiet? Something is definitely wrong. I had a tad 60 and a 150 and at 10 o'clock on my preamp my 86 db proacs were very loud. Have you turned the gain all the way up on the amps? Has it always been this way or did it start recently? | |
| Jolida, Glass FX Tube DAC III vs Fusion DAC Pre Glad you are enjoying your new preamp. I put tungsol gold pins in mine and it sounds fantastic. |
