| Amp for lightspeed attenuator? = $1000 used Thanks for all the amp pointers!I'm having a hard time tracking down the older recommendations. Does anyone have experience with Muse 150s or with marantz ma-700 monoblocks?Again, I need something ideally that is more than 100W @ 8ohm. | |
| Amp for lightspeed attenuator? = $1000 used George: thanks for all the insight. I can't seem to find the burston 100 anywhere --- would a musical fidelity x-dac tube buffer work also? There's one in the classifieds now: http://app.audiogon.com/listings/musical-fidelity-x-dac-v-3-tube-stage-... | |
| Amp for lightspeed attenuator? = $1000 used Thanks for the walk through George. I'm driving the lightspeed using a musical fidelity V-DAC, which is supposed to have an output impedance between 40ohm and 80ohm, which seems to be within the range you mention. (BTW: what is the right email add... | |
| Any point to bi-amping Linn AV5140s? Thanks for the responses. Setting up aktiv sounds too costly/invasive, so it seems that traditional bi-amping wouldn't help.With that said, I just received a velodyne SMS-1 and realized it is a special case where bi-amping might make sense for the... | |
| How far off are wireless audiophile speakers? I like the outlaw OAW wireless system since it connects to anything. It does sound somewhat less detailed.It's not exactly what the OP asked, but since it's related:in a more limited domain, audiophile wireless music is easy --- stream control rat... | |
| Unimpressive sound from Tannoy B475 subwoofer? I picked up an outlaw 990 w/ balanced XLR outputs this w/e. After hooking this up to crown amp everything sounds much better! It's dead quiet when no music is playing and seems noticeably louder when sound is on. (Or at least I had to turn the gai... | |
| JBL synthesis s650 vs outlaw Thanks! I was worried the s650 was too weak after liking the s400. Good to know quality is better.One complication is that I started looking through the audiogon classifieds --- there's a few nice ~$1000 amps up now that are pretty tempting... | |
| Unimpressive sound from Tannoy B475 subwoofer? Thanks Rwwear! Looks like I just missed the listing. Unrelated to the original topic: I wish the audiogon software would send an email notification for subscribed threads. | |
| Unimpressive sound from Tannoy B475 subwoofer? Argh. Sorry, missed the velo reference above somehow. Got it.Thanks for all the suggestions! | |
| Unimpressive sound from Tannoy B475 subwoofer? I see a ~$400 velodyne sms-1 on amazon -- is that what you were referring to? Or do you mean JBL sms-1? The tannoy has a tx2 system controller that came with it. Am ordering connectors to see if that makes any difference. | |
| Unimpressive sound from Tannoy B475 subwoofer? Thanks for the operational breakdown. Unfortunately, I can't tell any difference between that method and connecting an extra ground wire to the case of the pre-amp or to the RCA shield. Which matches your "really doesn't matter" point...I was goin... | |
| Unimpressive sound from Tannoy B475 subwoofer? Oh, cool. I think I got it. I just solder the ground to the outside of the RCA connector? When I touch a ground wire manually, the hum goes to almost nothing, so I assume that's the right approach.Thanks for the insights! | |
| Unimpressive sound from Tannoy B475 subwoofer? I am connecting the outlaw 950 using a "RCA to speaker wire" cable. The RCA end is going into the outlaw. The speaker wire (+, -) is going to the crown amp (+, - respectively). Should I run the - speaker wire to both the ground and the - on the cr... | |
| Unimpressive sound from Tannoy B475 subwoofer? OK, forget the second question. Doing some reading on unabalanced vs balanced... | |
| Unimpressive sound from Tannoy B475 subwoofer? Iimig: dumb terminology question --- what is the shield? The crown has +, -, and ground terminals. By shield do you mean ground? I'm only using the amp for one sub, so there is only one input -- does balanced still matter in this case? |
