| Amp preamp impedance matching...can anyone explain? I have a tube DAC that uses a single 6SN7 tube with 1 microfarad coupling caps. I was told it has 8 kohm output impedance. I wanted to get this integrated SS amp but the input impedance is 10 kohm. So this is a horrible match, so I stayed away. My... | |
| Anyone try the Vitus RI-100 with Raidho C1.1? Good to hear from you Kiwi again ;)I considered the Gryphon, but there is no distributor here in the USA. I like the Vitus because there is an option for DAC module for the RI-100. | |
| PASS Labs x350.5 vrs. Parasound JC1 Hi Pryso, sending a heavy amp for repair can be a pain, not just physically but also in shipping cost. Did Parasound pay for shipping both ways? Or did you have a local dealer do the repair? | |
| Recommendations of Cables to a Sub. Hi Vmhf, can you give me your impression of the Vitus integrated amp? I am very interested in getting one. What speakers are you using with them? Are you going to get the DAC module? I have been using Signal cables for a long time. Signal is among... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? I don't have a car. Red Schwinn bicycle with goose neck handle bar and white banana seat. Had it since I was 9 and still ride it every day. The car I want would be supercharged yellow Ford Pinto with 22 inch wheels. | |
| Car Audio Speakers Focal, Dynaudio, Butler and McIntosh seems to get a lot of recommendations. Thanks. | |
| Car Audio Speakers Linn should be nice indeed. So should the Mark Levinson in Lexus. To bad you couldn't buy these systems for your own car, unless you happen to own these luxury cars. | |
| Car Audio Speakers Sorry, I don't have an option to replace the car. I ordered the car to my specifications through the manufacturers website and production finished today. I'm waiting for delivery. I'm hoping to pick up some hot babes, so a nice audio system in my ... | |
| Car Audio Speakers Thanks for the advice on EQ. I have run flat low profile tires, so I'm guessing these are not the quietest tires around. Oh well. | |
| Car Audio Speakers Jedinite, thanks for the Bultleraudio link. I remember their home audio tube amp now. Cool...Tubes in my car. May be the tubes will tame some of the brightness in some of the highend car speakers.I remember MB Quart speakers from the late 80's and... | |
| Car Audio Speakers Thank you for all your informative advice. I found a local installer who is a dealer for Focal, Dynaudio and German Maestro (founded by members of MB Quart). The latter appears to be even pricier. "Tube Driver Blue amp"...I didn't realize there ar... | |
| Dude's 6SN7 replacements with Chinese CV-181/6SN7 I have a tube DAC that uses a single 6sn7 as output. I compared the shuguang black treasure and Sophia tubes in a direct comparison. The sophi has a slightly better dynamics overall, slightly better soundstaging/imaging, noticeably better bass sla... | |
| Martin Logan Spires or Magnepan 3.7? Contrary to what was said above, the Maggie does not present a capacitive load to the amp like an ESL. It is essentially a resistive load, very flat impedance curve around 4 Ohms, and thus much less reactive to an amp than an ESL. I have heard bot... | |
| Tranquility DAC There is a new affordable upgrade to the output section that is suppose to significantly increase the sound quality of the SE. I will be sending it off to dB Audiolabs soon. Go to Audiocircle.com and look at my review of a AQVOX USB power supply I... | |
| Tranquility DAC I have the SE. It is smooth, smooth with good detail. The treble performance is exceptional, one of the few that replicates the decay of cymbals, chimes, triangles properly like a good analogue system. It is NOS design so it tends to sound more na... |
