| Upgrade preamp? @georghifi, i read that you want to have a minimum of a 10x different between your preamp output impedance and your amps input impedance. Yes 1:10 is mine and others min recommendation 1:50 better. You’ve got to remember also that the source if tu... | |
| I really wanted to dislike D'Agostino I have to admit I have only heard full Krell stacks, and that this could very well be possible. Really!!! now you think it's time to bring that up!!Great!! so why start this Krell damaging thread, you put **** on the Krell poweramps when you ha... | |
| Thinking about getting a R2R DAC Yeah same, I borrowed an early Holo Spring L2 discrete R2R dac and was blown away at how good everything sounded from my CD collection, real "meat" on the notes, especially on the midrange, very dynamic and transparent, then I switched it to NOS m... | |
| Parasound's Hint 6's new volume control provides huge sonic advances? No resistors in the signal path.Must have something? Unless it uses the constant (high) "output resistance" of the stage before the volume as part of a divider to get shunted to ground.Cheers George | |
| Upgrade preamp? Bryston 7B3’s and looking to potentially upgrade my preamp from a Schiit Freya + to .......? Your 7B3’s have an input impedance of just 7.5kohm!!!, this is not very good for a good "impedance match" for any passive and most tube preamps . Search f... | |
| Permanent carpet sliders? Google Teflon (PTFE) carpet sliders, there are many to choose from. This was the first in line, (not saying the best)https://www.amazon.com.au/Teflon-Furniture-Sliders-Carpet-Stick/dp/B07FRWX429https://www.google.com/search?q=teflon+carpet+sliders... | |
| Tube amp bias adjustment advice mmporsche OP Not sure why my link to pictures disappeared. Here it is again: I assumed you had 211 monoblocks in my first post, now I see it’s a stereo, but same deal. Don’t play with the bias yet, just swap left for right speaker leads and in... | |

| I really wanted to dislike D'Agostino I can’t help but wonder if your picking the stone out of the wrong shoe? Who here promotes Ayre and Luxman every chance he gets and takes a jab at Pass Can read him like a book, this is yet again his "subtle" but round about way of "Krell Bashing... | |
| Tube amp bias adjustment advice Have you try swap the tube from left to right? Don’t do this as then you will have to re-bias both of the the amps.Just swap the amp whole from left to right first, and say which side is louder.(it could be the source or the speakers) that has to... | |
| Tube amp bias adjustment advice mmporsche OP Don’t touch the bias yet, before answering some questions. 1: Was it in balanced before? 2: If you swap the amps "only", does then the right speaker sound louder or is the left still louder?Cheers George | |
| Parasound's Hint 6's new volume control provides huge sonic advances? The Lightspeed Attenuator, made by George, was probably the best volume control I have had in my system. Thanks for the rap. Im not sure why it isn’t still talked about and used by some of youHaven't sent one out of Australia since the start ... | |
| Parasound's Hint 6's new volume control provides huge sonic advances? wolf_garcia The 128 step relay switched volume control in my Schiit Freya is great, it preserves an accurate channel balance, and you’re never stuck in the "one click more too much, one less not enough" zone. The pleasant clicking sound it makes ... | |
