| Connecting a DAC directly to an amp? Looking at a modwright ls300 tube preamp. Hard to plug dac directly into amp when I have an avr. Only use for streaming.tube preamp allows ease of functionality between avr and preamp. | |
| SQ impact from a tube preamp after signal leaving an AVR? So the merits of higher priced tube preamps may be in doubt. The absurdity of buying overpriced components. Yet we do it. | |
| Connecting a DAC directly to an amp? This is getting sooo damn complex for my tiny mind. Very very and maybe toooo techie | |
| Any high end preamps out there where tubes off while HT in use? Wait an hour for tubes to sound good? Seems absolutely horrifying and super inconvenient, and this is ok to audiophile community? | |
| So you have a great hi end stereo preamp, but You hurt my feelings. Time for some uplifting Barry Manilow youtube vids from my amazing ht system. | |
| Hi end tube preamps, it’s all about functionality!! There is a important market for stereo listening at a high quality level and home theater in a combined system.‘all’ it takes is passing a signal thru the preamp painlessly to allow sharing of mains between stereo and home theatre. Options, sadly... | |
| So you have a great hi end stereo preamp, but Problem here is that you can’t achieve a high level of stereo SQ when stereo preamps and avr’s are in same system without a lot of addl operating costs and inconvenience. These two worlds don’t like to share main speakers. The world is evolving ... | |
| So you have a great hi end stereo preamp, but So why don’t avr and stereo worlds get along?don’t play together well.the world is changing. People who have avr’s have the capacity to appreciate stereo music. | |
| Any high end preamps out there where tubes off while HT in use? I think ht connect to stereo is an issue that’s overdone. It can be done quite well.why sooo afraid? | |
| Any high end preamps out there where tubes off while HT in use? Do many amps offer an input selector? Even better if done with a remote. Makes all the upstream ht bypass issues a lot easier to deal with, ie by not having a need to do anything.my guess is the connector complexity may no be good for SQ. | |
| Any high end preamps out there where tubes off while HT in use? Like AB switcher.many options here? Seems worthwhile | |
| Any high end preamps out there where tubes off while HT in use? Cary seems like a nice pre and only about $3k. Been around for awhile and not chronically upgraded. Not sure what to make of price being so cheap? Does it stack up well to arc or other high ends? | |
| Connecting a DAC directly to an amp? Modwright looks good.Can tubes be off during ht bypass?thanksjust read in manual that ht input can only be enabled via front panel and not remote. Seems really odd. | |
| Connecting a DAC directly to an amp? Have looked into a Barrett preamp $9k which shuts down tubes while doing ht bypass. Barrett may be a great box and only 2 tubes and other fancy circuitry that avoids need for more tubes. but more tubes would seem better.Absolutely insane why tub... | |
| Audio Research preamps EXCESSIVE OPERATING COSTS InvalidWhat is the watt level for operating your preamp?The manual for the arc Ref 6se says it draws. 130 watts. Not sure how accurate this is and whether a lot lower when in bypass mode.a mc mc255 amp draws about 65 watts at moderate levels. |
