| Line Magnetic 508ia and the Elusive 805 Tube @shkong78 wow never hard of Lansche 4.1. They look really exciting. Glad to know you are enjoying LM 508ia at good levels. Wish I could :). Your speaker must have an active subwoofer section?. No?. | |
| SET v. Pushpull At 85 dB sensitivity I wouldn't even go with any tube amp, at-least in my case. Not sure when people say SET watts are more than SS watts, but watts are watts. It is just that when driving to spec SET distortion is more pleasant then SS. But why l... | |
| Making a difficult decision Peachtree nova 300 has good measurements, low THD well into 300 watts at 4 Ohm. Can't find any for Peachtree nova 150 though. Which Parasound are you referring to?.I am on the fence regarding Class D or Class A/B amp too. But I am looking for just... | |
| Line Magnetic quality My first serious amp is LM 508ia. Been enjoying since last week on my pair of 10+ year old Paradigm Studio 40v3 pair of speakers. I got a demo version from a dealer and it sounds good to me. It is heavy and seems very well built it does perform be... | |
| Recommend Affordable Integrated Amps (Solid State or Tube) http://myhometheater.homestead.com/splcalculator.html , how far do you sit from your speakers?. | |
| Right channel louder, BAT VK-P10SE SuperPak with Ortofon 2M Bronze(MM) @dgarretson I swapped the smaller tubes left to right and it sounds ok. Why did I have to swap to fix this?. | |
| Right channel louder, BAT VK-P10SE SuperPak with Ortofon 2M Bronze(MM) @dgarretson There are two rows of tubes and two in between the rows (somewhat). What exactly should I swap. I had to set S2 "high" for volume to be reasonable. Still the same problem. | |
| Right channel louder, BAT VK-P10SE SuperPak with Ortofon 2M Bronze(MM) @try1256 what is the trim pot? | |
| Legacy Aeris owners which amp do you use and why? @mtrot, Thanks for the fantastic suggestion. Krell FPB-300cx and FPB-200c have a lot of class A power. Used ones are in the affordable range. Thanks again. | |
| Help me spec n class A AMP, power calculation 85dB @ 1W @ 1metre Yes a used M800 seems great, there are concerns with heat issues. I think an SS that can go up-to 100 watts class A and is reasonably priced is Coda 15.5. | |
| Line Magnetic 508ia and the Elusive 805 Tube Are there any measurements published for this amp when it is driven to peak i.e close to 48 Watts?. Anyone here have noticed problems when driven with speakers that are 92 dB efficient?. | |
| Legacy Aeris owners which amp do you use and why? @mckinneymike, Usually a dealer deals with few vendors. And no one I have talked to is interested in loaning for testing. | |
| Legacy Aeris owners which amp do you use and why? @audiotroy, I have listened to Aeris at RMAF 2018 and bought them. They are on the way along with Wavelet. The reason I got them because of how good they sounded compared to others and I believe in good engineering. Regarding loudness I play at 85... | |
| Legacy Aeris owners which amp do you use and why? @audiotroy Thanks but I have cost constraints. I would like to refer to this: https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2012/04/03/speaker-sensitivity-dynamic-range-and-amplifier-output/Seems like sitting at 3 meters all I need is 12wpc for 94 db efficient s... | |
| Legacy Aeris owners which amp do you use and why? I heard that but don't listening levels matter?. I mean if they say 500w max that does not mean we will need 500w for normal listening at 4 feet do we?. Also the amp does not need to power lower frequencies. |
