| Sanders Sound preamp vs. Innersound? I was curious as to the Coda/Innersound similarities in product design. | |
| 4-ohm setting with 8 ohm speakers The output tubes or transistors will see less of a load using the 4 ohm tap, perhaps maybe half of what it would using the 8 ohm tap. That is the purpose of output transformers (impedance matching), and autoformers.Hifihvn (Answers | This Thread)I... | |
| Tenor 75 Wi OTL The 1.5 watt SET OTL is $1500 assembled including tubes. If he wants 4 watts instead of 1.5 he needs two of them to run as monoblocks. The T-16 is $1599 as a kit with tubes. 15 watts per channel so the stereo version is plenty. There are expert as... | |
| Tenor 75 Wi OTL My recommendation was based on the requirements for low watts and less heat. It just may be Glory has to give up something to get something. Not my decision. For Summer months in Las Vegas I have a nice selection of amps to choose from that don't ... | |
| Tenor 75 Wi OTL There you go. | |
| Tenor 75 Wi OTL I see a pair of Transcendent Sound SET OTL monoblocks in your future (perhaps even the stereo version given your speakers). Maybe even a stereo T-16. My T-16 does run hot, but not nearly as hot as my S-30. As previously stated price doesn't always... | |
| room tuning 12ftx12ft room Rrog is most likely right about the speakers. Seems he's pretty familiar with them. On the other hand, Hornguys advice should be tried as a last ditch effort. Here is some information on why that set-up may work:http://www.decware.com/paper14.htmR... | |
| Distance from the front not the rear wall? The Audio Physics method (Immediasound) has worked extremely well for me when I used it in smallish rooms. Having the chair within a foot or so, or even against the untreated rear wall was not a problem. It also allowed me to pull the speakers fur... | |
| Preamp upgrade - Shindo or VAC? I have the Auricle Musicblocs as well. If it were me I'd go with a VAC preamp. Going further up the VAC line should make a nice improvement over the Standard LE. Nothing against Shindo, as it is great too, but I suspect there might be better syner... | |
| Coincident Dragon Amplifier Welcome to the VAC family as Kevin would say. | |
| difference between an active and a passive preamp? I've got my eyes on the Decware preamp with adjustable voltage. Talked to Steve about it and it is a well designed piece of equipment. Can be an OTL headphone amp as well.Stan Warren designed some great pieces. The SP100 is one of definitely one o... | |
| The best passive preamp You mean Jack? No, he is happy with his design and an AVC or TVC wouldn't work with it as the attenuator. It has to be a 10k pot, series, or ladder attenuator. When I built my AVC using the Slagle autoformers he was curious about them (for reasons... | |
| The best passive preamp The circuit for the MLA was originally designed to be incorporated into an integrated amplifier design, like the 45SE we had at THE SHOW in January. Not everyone has a need for a 1.7 watt flea amp though, so there are several out there being used ... | |
| The best passive preamp It's not trying to address any issues per se. You and I are in the minority regarding our preference for a passive design over an active one. Stringreen made a comment in this thread that is shared by many audiophiles and designers. Especially whe... | |
| The best passive preamp Actually it does have something to do with voltage gain. Depending on the ratio selected, assuming your source was 2V output, voltage gain could be stepped up to 4, 8, or 16V. Then you would attenuate the signal from there.The circuit design loads... |
