| Subwoofer doubts: crossover setting for 60hz speakers Thanks a lot, xti16. I'm already free from the annoying idea of setting the crossover as high as 120hz. I'm convinced 80hz or even less will work fine. That means I'm going with the single subwoofer option.As for it, I just found a third challenge... | |
| Subwoofer doubts: crossover setting for 60hz speakers All the more reassuring. Thanks! | |
| Subwoofer doubts: crossover setting for 60hz speakers Thanks a lot, Tim. Extremely informative, just the kind of feedback I was hoping to get. I'll go with the Velodyne, no more doubts. | |
| Subwoofer doubts: crossover setting for 60hz speakers Thanks for the reply. The problem here is that I cannot test the subs in my system before buying. And worse than that: I have absolutely no experience with subs. So, before taking the blind leap, I'm hoping to figure something out from the forum's... | |
| Denon SUT or Micro Seiki head-amp? Thanks, that's extremely helpful! Btw, the Puccini Settanta is already a nightmare when it comes to "volume control": you need to have surgery precision with that knob.But anyway I'm growing the idea of replacing it with a Primaluna Prologue Premi... | |
| Denon SUT or Micro Seiki head-amp? Oh, to be honest I have absolutely no idea about those technical details... My amp is a Puccini Settanta (70W), that's all I can tell you. And my set is in a fairly small room. But as far as I understand, I like the idea of using the MM input: it ... | |
| Denon SUT or Micro Seiki head-amp? Swampwalker, you are absolutely right: the Denon SUT has only 20dB of gain. That would make only 60dB when connected to the Project in MM mode (40dB). Not enough! Suddenly the SUT is no longer the safer choice, apparently! What do you think? | |
| Denon SUT or Micro Seiki head-amp? Yes: the head-amp seems riskier, but could also give better results. But keep in mind that -on the papers- Denon's cart and SUT are made for each other: the SUT can be set to 40ohms, which is supposed to be the internal impedance of the cart. And ... | |
| Denon SUT or Micro Seiki head-amp? Correction: according to KAB, the needed gain for my cart is 65dB. Still, I think that investing in a 67dB preamp like the Nano would be pushing the envelope... | |
| Denon SUT or Micro Seiki head-amp? Oh, I didn't know about the KAB gain calculator, thanks for the info! So my impressions were correct: for a 0.18mV -that could even be less, who knows- you should require no less than 70dB. That would put the Clearaudio Nano preamp -a third option... | |
| Denon SUT or Micro Seiki head-amp? Oh. I have no experience whatsoever with any of these pre-pre gadgets, but from what I read, the SUT au-320 should match almost exactly the cartridge impedance. That's why I assumed it was a safer choice. I didn't know about other risks (ringing o... | |
| Denon SUT or Micro Seiki head-amp? Good advice. Although there are not many models available in Argentina right now -and we cannot buy electronics from abroad, believe it or not. There's a Clearaudio dealer... maybe some mid-range Clearaudio pre + Denon au-320? That may work better... |
