| Question about byamplification your speaker’s crossover is prepared for biamp. you only need a volume control for the strongest amp, cut it to match the other amp. https://www.schiit.com/products/sys?Finish=259&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsdiTBhD5ARIsAIpW8CJgw97ajn9NPQ8oL2vaq3FHhNlg... | |
| Cornwall IV – tube (amp) choice That little Luxman is a wonderful 10 wpc tube amp, punches above it’s weight class. I have it in my office. Lowest power amp I ever owned, and it did well playing my Wharfedale Diamond 225’s which are the least efficient speakers I ever had, 87db.... | |
| Bookshelf dilemma To my surprise, AR-2ax’s fit in my bookshelves in my office. I thought I would be using them downstairs. Only 11-1/2" deep x 13-1/2 x 24" horizontal on a shelf at seated ear level. Two level controls for mid and tweet help adjust for the space. ... | |
| Volume matched inputs on a preamp? verify with AESthetix which models have that nice feature http://aesthetix.net/mimas.php?aac_mobile=no from MIMAS manual Setup Input The individual Input Setup options are: o Enable/Disable the currently selected Input. o Adjusting the input le... | |
| Preamp help please! I never heard a 101 tube, but I really like My Cayin A88T that uses 2 6sl7, 2 6sn7, and either 6550 or KT88 power tubes. It sounds wonderful and I discovered the 6's make as much of a difference as the power tubes. Changed/preferred KT88's over ... | |
| Cornwall IV – tube (amp) choice Tubes: Oh Yeah! Power: enough, but not too much, with future considerations: efficiency of 102db/1w/1m: ’not much’ power needed. I drove my similar speakers (horns, 15" woofers) with 30 wpc tube amps for many years (they came with Fisher 80az m... | |
| Apple Air Pod Pros as Hearing Aids My 99 year old mother has used high quality in the ear canal hearing aids for years. Now, in nursing unit, she plays the TV too loud. I sent her AirPods Pro to use for her TV, wondering how they would work. Returnable from Amazon. Fabulously eas... | |
| Better sound on rainy days? My favorite radio station is WBGO FM. Jazz Station is in Newark, NJ, but broadcasting antenna is in NYC 26 miles away. My 2012 Volvo C70's miserable radio can only receive a strong enough signal to be noise free on cloudy days. Comes in fine in ... | |
| Volume matched inputs on a preamp? Ditch those DACs, Go Vinyl, go Vintage My McIntosh preamps (prior SS C28, current Tube mx110z) have 3 adjustable inputs. But only one line level, AUX, the others are Phono 1 and Phono 2, both have RIAA eq in their circuit. Tandberg TR-2080 let m... | |
| What's with all the new colored vinyl? I’m giving my niece a vertical TT, and this LP with a smiley Face to leave on it for fun. I paid less, but scroll down, see it sticking out of the jacket https://www.ebay.com/p/20048604965 | |
| What's with all the new colored vinyl? My Mitsubishi and Sony Linear Turntables shine light up thru holes in the platter to detect lp size and then chooses 33 or 45 speed. I have to put a black light blocking LP below a Larkin Poe clear 'white' LP, which messes with VTA of course. | |
| Rogue Dragon VS PS Audio BHK VS Carver 350 Are your speakers efficient? 1. If inefficient speakers now, I would change the speakers to efficient ones I loved, then go tubes, both preamp and amp. 2nd, enough, but not too much power, it effects weight, placement options, amount of heat, an... | |
| How does the VPI Aries II stand up to current mid priced tables? Evidently VPI has unique ’twist the wire’ anti-skate method excerpt "There is no anti-skating control on JMW arms. VPI advises twisting the hookup wire to provide anti-skating." from this review https://positive-feedback.com/Issue10/vpiaries.h... | |
| Atlantis Lab speakers I’d like to hear them, I wrote and asked about any plans for USA. 4 ohm taps on tube amps should do well with their high 97 db/1w/1m efficiency. |
