| Integrated Amp $1200 or less Might not be integrated, but will probably beat any under $1200, with $100 left over for the interconnect, and I’m sure Schiit would do a package deal for maybe a $1K for the three pieces, doesn’t hurt to ask.Shiit Saga+ https://www.schiit.com/pro... | |

| How Does a "HI-LEVEL IN" Affect Impedance Load? It's a shame your Jolida SJ202a doesn't have line level "preamp output" to take to your subs line input, as I've always found that line level is tighter and more uncoloured for a sub than using the high level speaker output, even with SS amps.I my... | |
| Preamp and impedance question So are you sunshine, so are you, in more ways than one. | |
| Preamp and impedance question atmasphere I think its pretty obvious this isn’t about EPDR... Yes it was, as this is what I answered to below, saying a 4ohm transformer would be a very good idea as that speaker "5ohm is a nominal figure" you can bet it goes down to 4ohm or ev... | |
| How important is a Linear Power Supply Versus a Switcyed one? which seems a bit much compared to the cost difference when manufacturing the LPS board versus the SMP one. Just the component $cost (not including enclosure) can be more than double for linear v smp.Cheers George | |
| Preamp and impedance question Like I said anyone to say EPDR (combination of impedance and -phase angle) "does not matter", is dreaming. The odds are very against you sunshine. Over and out👎 | |
| Recommendations for electronic crossover. jpahere Recommendations for electronic crossover. Don’t go digital to me it only led to sterility no matter what I tried. And I lost the sound of my favorite dac for whatever rubbish dac is in the digital dsp/xovers ones. If you want the best ana... | |
| Preamp and impedance question Taken on board Ralph, with a yawn.But for anyone to say EPDR (combination of impedance and -phase angle) "does not matter", is dreaming.Your M60 mono blocks "could not drive the bass" of the JBL 1400 Array’s a 90db speaker without obvious stress p... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load With this Bel Canto e1X, even the 8ohm to 4ohm is a tell to what the 2ohm wouldn’t/couldn’t do grunt wise. That wasn’t even considered to be measured as it would have fallen flat on it’s face like all Class-D’s do that I’ve seen, but at least it's... | |
| Preamp and impedance question I believe this statement to be entirely fictional Obviously this phenomena isn’t limited to our amps So this Stereophile article seems I believe this statement to be entirely fictional. Ralph’s gone into product protection mode. I shouldn’t ha... | |
| How important is a Linear Power Supply Versus a Switcyed one? I have always found a linear power to be an improvement over a switching power supply. This is both in analog sources/preamp as well as digital transport sources. To give an idea here, there are some hi end manufacturers that offer a power supply ... | |
| Preamp and impedance question Just keep waffling on, because you still can’t see the forest for the trees.https://i.pinimg.com/originals/7b/df/d9/7bdfd904dbe2ff73b9de8b8f7d84563d.jpg | |
| Preamp and impedance question The proofs above from guys infinitely more savvy than you, like Matti Otala, Eric Benjimin, Keith Howard Atmasphere stick his neck out for you. That’s a low percentage ask.Atmasphere was the one that said the JBL 1400 are a difficult load for the ... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Bel Canto e1X, stable into 2 ohms. See recent Stereophile review. Like I said, "stable into 2ohms" is a smoke screen furphy, to make the gullible feel it can happily drive 2ohms without strain, it just means it won’t oscillate and blow up, as Ral... |
