| Getting new Preamp lilrock Eric is right one amp is 15k the other is 46k you have a combined impedance of 11kohm that the preamp will see, forget about tube preamps, unless they are less than 1kohm output or less and very important maintain that <1kohm from 20... | |
| The new Schiit Aegir Amplifier now shipping I keep forgetting that George does not like Schiit Audio. You need to get a life and see the forest through the trees, and go see who’s Schiit’s strongest advocate is on Audiogon, you will get a big shock sunshine. But then you’ve done 107 post ... | |
| The new Schiit Aegir Amplifier now shipping Whatever you want to think, in time it will come out, then you'll understand. Cheers George | |
| The new Schiit Aegir Amplifier now shipping I’m not bagging this amp celander, there is a great place for it in the market, using efficient speakers. But let’s not make it the holly grail, it’s not! Nothing new there celander, it’s what’s been the norm on most good class-A complementary out... | |
| The new Schiit Aegir Amplifier now shipping celander check out the head-fi link. It’s not a picture but an explanation that’s likely better than a picture. As I thought the same "basic circuit topology" Here’s what I envisioned when Marv suggested doing a low-power, “Class A” amp in the V... | |
| The new Schiit Aegir Amplifier now shipping Just because Aegir looks like Vidar does not mean it is like Vidar. Look very closely at the components and the pcb layout, if your any kind of tech you will see what I mean, and if you know different, please put a link up that proves me wrong. As... | |
| The new Schiit Aegir Amplifier now shipping porscheracer No, this is a whole different design. It’s more like the Lyr 3 than Vidar. Sorry, I don’t think so, it is very close to the Vidar, I'd put money on it now seeing both viewing them, as I said probably lower rails and higher bias..Vida... | |
| preamp Many that know, that this amp the OP is using, as good as it is, has no chance of driving the 2ohm EPDR load that these speakers present in the bass. And the Stereophile measurements and JA’s quotes prove it! Your pushing your own balanced preamp ... | |
| The new Schiit Aegir Amplifier now shipping mtbrider Someone who has received this unit has posted internal pictures over on AC. Can you post the link? What is AC? | |
| preamp vishu OPLike I said the amp and speakers are both individually fine pieces of equipment just not together.As John Atkinson said in Stereophile when he measured the Sopra's, your going to need an amp with far more current than what your have to d... | |
| Is Pre-Amp needed The ARC preamp provides more of everything, especially the layering of instruments. It can’t make something from nothing, all it can do is to add colouration/distortion euphonics if you wish to call it that. If it’s not on the recording a preamp ... | |
| preamp vishu Focal sopra N3. Sonically not fully satisfied. It’s not the preamp that’s the problem. It’s a great amp the Auris Forte 150 tube amp, unfortunately it’s with the wrong speaker, which btw is also a great speaker but with the wrong amp..Thes... | |
| Is Pre-Amp needed THEIR source’s preamp ??? Sorry there's no such thing! The output buffer in the source is the same if it has a digital domain volume control or not. And only if that volume control goes below 75% of full does it start to "bit strip". Many hie... | |
| Is Pre-Amp needed mrdecibel I will never use a preamp again. kalali Never ever say never. It may be that you’ve not yet heard the right preamp for your system. Maybe he’s like me and has a source he loves the sound of, and doesn’t need to colour it in any way by... | |
| Isolation Transformers In Australia 230v to 230v isolation transformers I have use them on my source gear since the 80’s. they provide "Galvanic Isolation" from the mains and block/filter any dc on the mains.For the US http://www.surplussales.com/item/_tp/91092-12.html ... |
