| 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. | |
| Audio Research preamps EXCESSIVE OPERATING COSTS Problem here is that tube preamps which keep the tubes off while watching tv are not very good. Bartlett looked promising, about $9k, but it didn’t seem to be of same level as the arc 6se preamp.I have since found that replacing tubes of 6se are ... | |
| Audio Research preamps EXCESSIVE OPERATING COSTS Idea is to use arc stereo preamp in a home theatre system where main speakers can be used in a stereo environment absent interference from an avr. | |
| Balanced xlr interconnects for ARC Ref 6se Might a xlr between amp and preamp solve group loop problem? Ground loop is resolved a lot when I pass cable tv coaxial cable thru a surge protector, but would prefer not doing this.problem probably exists because I use two outlets in my room for ... | |
| Bass Driver Size - how much better is an extra inch? Makes sense very large drivers loss some ability to handle detail. So there is a sweet spot between, say, 7 to 12 inches. And beyond 12, you would be in a subwoofer zone where detail is less important and less feasible. Personally, 10 inches on ... | |
| Bass Driver Size - how much better is an extra inch? Room fullness makes all the difference in the world, and with no distortion these simple things will rank a speaker very highly. High end brand names take notice. | |
| Bass Driver Size - how much better is an extra inch? B&w 802 speakers, $22k, have two base drivers at 8 inches.to me that still seems restrained. Better to have 2 smaller base drivers vs 1 bigger size? | |
| Bass Driver Size - how much better is an extra inch? Much value being offered herein albeit cryptic. |
