| Martin Logans and power cords Common Kalai, is this a loaded question? You know as well as I do the current draw from the mains is under 100mA for ESL's, the only time a power cord "upgrade" would make any difference maybe is if you had an ML model with inbuilt active woofer ... | |
| Need a preamp? As I already suggested to the OP. Just use the built in attenuator as the volume control, and use an input switch box, like thishttp://www.goldpt.com/sw4.html If he doesn’t want to use them the next best is to turn them up full.Use the $49 Schiit... | |
| Need a preamp? Many think that no preamp has its own colorations Then they are kidding themselvesNo preamp is "true to the source" with no colourations. As the output stage of the source is just as matched to a poweramp input, as it is to a preamp input, in ... | |
| Levinson 39 vs Bricasti M1 I like the 39 so much I want to get a 360S. Then that’s settled the 39’s mine, your a good bloke Marty. https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis9di1j-mark-levinson-no-360s-dac-quad-multibit-24-bit-burr-brown-pcm1704-s-da-converters Made a mistake ab... | |
| Levinson 39 vs Bricasti M1 marty97x One of my R2R dream machines, been looking for one for ages, to do redbook with.Yes they do have PCM1704K d to a chips (selected) and a HDCD input filtering chip, this is about as good as old school R2R Multibit gets, most new today are d... | |
| Need a preamp? But he needs a couple of inputs, and his amp is single ended. But nice to know the Nobsound Mini use a proper quad Alps 27 for the xlr instead of wiring pseudo xlr. https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1FTx5LpXXXXbwXpXXq6xXFXXXj/Japan-ALPS-27-type-10KA... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound Good luck driving your low input impedance amps with your torpid passive amps. You got and know nothing.And no need to attack and put shit on my product Kosst, it has absolutely nothing to do with BJT vs Mosfet for current ability into low impedan... | |
| Quad 2912 vs Martin Logan ESL 11a ML’s for me, I have the latest panel Monolith’s, and a friend has the Summits, they just do everything well, even hard rock. They have a bigger sweet spot thanks to the curved panel. More air around them the better, for sound staging, nothing in b... | |
| Need a preamp? except remember the volume control in the Schiit Sys is marginal For $49 a screaming bargain, the Shiit Sys has an Alps 10kohm logarithmic mini, not as good as the Alps Blue Velvet or Black Beauty, but better than many around.Same as this without... | |
| Need a preamp? Would the Schiit degrade or color the sound more Not if you get the internal passive in your ST70 completely bypassed (not just bridged out). Then you’ll only be going through one passive, the Schiit Sys. Cheers George | |
| Need a preamp? jaferd Is there a reason I need a preamp other than the convenience of switching between the two? No your Bob Latino ST70 has an input impedance of 280kohm and sensitivity for full wattage output of just 1v in.With these sort of specs you only nee... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound You can waffle on all you like with your war and peace post, in our hifi world your wrong.Cheers George | |
| Class A Solid State Sound Kosst, I thought you were smarter than that, you are making your self look like you have no idea.Everyone knows given the best implementation for both, the complimentary BJT’s (Bi-Polars) will do current and low impedances far better than compleme... | |
| DACs with High Voltage Output From the PDF Manual for the SETi 40:"Input level for 37 watts output • 1.5 V rms"Many DACs will be in the 2 - 3 Vrms range...for the SE analog outputs. david_ten is correct. With these sort of input sensitivity any cdp, dac will work, they’re n... | |
| Class A Solid State Sound BS Kosst, you can’t get complementary mosfets to do current like complimentary bi-polars can into low impedances! End of story!!That’s why power amps that are crowned "amperage masters", are all bi-polar.And "if" one owns say a pair of Wilson A... |
