| Is Will Vincent still restoring amps? His Audiogon username is Autospec. Haven't seen any of his ads in a while though. | |
| Hornshoppes the truth preamp I know for the money it is a very good preamp. As I own one I can tell you two specific things. One is it is extremely neutral and two it can drive very long cables. As to my first point, be prepared for the preamp to provide an accurate signal tr... | |
| What amps do Electrical Engineers own...why? A lot of people would like to think so. Reason being, The Mona Lisa is art, so is some guy throwing buckets of paint at a canvas in NYC. Some people feel comfortable with that situation. Everything is Valid.The term "everything is valid" could eas... | |
| What amps do Electrical Engineers own...why? Could it be that this hobby has become more about art than engineering? Just a question mind you. | |
| Jeff Rowland Capri- looking for love. I used a Capri with a set of VAC Auricle Musicblocs. No issues for me and as previously mentioned the impedance matching is not going to present much if any issues for amplifiers. The Capri is a lot of preamp for the money. | |
| Sound of transformers in preamps? If I read the manual correctly I believe Steve is using the input and output transformers to attain balanced operation and to achieve 6 dB of gain if required. I just don't get where he is coming from with the idea that the transformers can create... | |
| Bent Audio Autoformer vs Tube Pre Andrew, yes the idea is to withdraw from digital completely. I will probably miss a handful of CDs but have already become more familiar with my vinyl collection which has many more nuggets than my CD collection. I am also building up my tape coll... | |
| waveguide speakers Also do some research on Audiokinesis speakers and their design principles. Dr. Geddes was a mentor to Duke LeJeune and both use waveguides in their designs. | |
| Bent Audio Autoformer vs Tube Pre Just for the record for those who could not gather it from my previous post Atma-Sphere is building the custom preamp I mentioned. While I firmly believe in the benefits of a passive preamp, one of my amps is an Atma-Sphere S-30 and after many con... | |
| Bent Audio Autoformer vs Tube Pre Well if you have the specs figured out and a balanced unit with remote is what your desire the Bent modules are going to be your best bet. In addition to a Lightspeed and Warpspeed (balanced) I built an autoformer volume control using the Slaglema... | |
| Bent Audio Autoformer vs Tube Pre The four key specs you need to really evaluate how a passive preamp can be used in your system are the output voltage and output impedance of the source and the input sensitivity and input impedance of the amp. Neither Lynx or ATSAH provide these ... | |
| Quad 57' system upgrade suggestions requested I feel a little reticent in recommending this because you have some great equipment already in your system. Do you really need or want to spend all that money? The OTL recommendation is a good one and an Atma-Sphere S-30 or M-60's would do nicely.... | |
| Bent Audio Autoformer vs Tube Pre What amplifier and source(s) do you plan to use with the Bent? I have tried many passive preamps and currently still use them in my system. One is balanced and the others single ended. From my experience I will say that with the right set up a pas... | |
| Onda Cables? Yes Nice post Glory. | |
| Bent Audio Autoformer vs Tube Pre Don't you own a TRL Dude? At least that is what I have seen you post previously. Surely you must know Grannyring owns one given the TRL family is pretty well connected. I'm guessing you probably know where I stand on this subject as well given my ... |
