| Xlr to rca @ryedady Are you trying to run cables from the rca outputs of your Luxman/McCormack to the 1/4" inputs of the bgm? If so, there is probably an impedance or signal level mismatch. 1/4" sockets are usually intended for microphone or electric instr... | |
| Filter Slope Question Thank you guys for your responses. I am embarrassed to admit that I created a problem where one does not actually exist. After I created this thread an astounding revelation came to me (duh!). Just disable the low pass filter in the preamp, run... | |

| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? Wise advise, I am certain jond. Thanks. | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? @david-ten I run Dirac Live to clean up the anomalies you mentioned. Also, looking the specs of most tube power amps it seems the S/N ratio isn't nearly as good as SS amps. The THD numbers aren't as good either with 1% at full power not uncomm... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? @ charles1dadThis 845 SET amp can be driven by my Emotiva XSP-1 SS preamp? The reason I want to use that preamp is because of it's bass management capabilities. I would like to drive the Tekton Enzo 2.7s with a capable tube power amp while conne... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? @jond Actually I'm currently using a pair of Tekton loudspeakers rated at 98db sensitivity.But, I like to play the music loud sometimes. Will the 22W amps you linked to accomplish that? I'm using a 200W SS amp now. | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? @charles1dad I would like to keep the price around $1500. Maybe $2000 if I could find a bargain at that price. What is tube biasing and is it something I have to do regularly? | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? Thanks wolf. Are there any tube amp idiosyncrasies I need to be aware of since this will be my 1st foray into this topology? | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? OK. Putting all the excellent theoretical knowledge displayed in this thread to practical use, can you guys recommend some good 100W+ stereo tube amps to pair with an Emotiva XSP-1 preamp? | |
| Room Response @shadorne I have wrecked many a loudspeaker and tube filament in exactly this manner. To all reading this thread......proceed with caution! | |

| Why is the snake oil topic closed? What is reality? Is reality a concept that is individualized? Is reality different things to different people? You bet it is. 150 years ago there were many people "cured" by the likes of Dr. John's Miracle Elixir. To be cured though, required... | |
