| Aftermarket Power supply’s with Martin Logan ESL Your ML speakers only draw less than .4 of an amp. Not even, 10 x less. More like 5watts for both, and that’s for the big CLS-IIZ’sFrom the CLS manual:" Will my electric bill go ‘sky high’ by leaving my speakers plugged in all the time?" "No. A p... | |
| Question About Audio Research Preamp Specs Not that it matters over 1:10 I and many say. But if you want high ratio go Krell preamp at 1ohm and Rogue Audio poweramp 1meg ohm!!!!! that’s an output to input ratio of 1:1000000 !!!Cheers George | |
| The Levinson Sound? All I can say is you must have heard tired ones, I heard a fully restored pair through 2 pairs of stacked ESL:57's with Kelly Decca ribbons from 12khz up and they were magnificent, and they wiped the floor with the massive ML3 that was on hand. An... | |
| Question About Audio Research Preamp Specs Why would CJ not have done this in the first place? Maybe a cost/benefits decision considering how relatively few amps have 10K ohm impedance? It wasn't common to have such low 10k input impedance poweramps in the past, as the loosely based sta... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? im not the most technical... Yes and I don’t know how they designed their output stage, as I said "if " it’s like the MSB discrete r2r dac I have each phase runs off each of the 4 resistor banks and if you had the XLR output used and the SE it cou... | |
| Quad ESL 63 In Another League Now George is getting upset. Because you so full of it sunshine. | |
| Quad ESL 63 In Another League Now No kalali!!! you need to use geoffs lube on his website, as his can take all sizes using it. | |
| Quad ESL 63 In Another League Now Georgehifi, I am surprised at you. I’m not and it’s a big negative. "Maybe" ones that have active bass with amplifiers involved. directional power cords really!! "there it is" When ac mains is just that "Alternating Current" that changes it's... | |
| Pass Labs cooling noise Wouldn't worry too much about it, it sounds like it's just the tinkling sounds, different rates of contraction of the heatsink (alloy) that bolted to the chassis.Cheers George | |
| The Levinson Sound? Even from the Mark Levinson vintage website they state there was only one "Legend" poweramp, the ML2 Class-A monoblocksQuote:" Power Amplifiers Mark Levinson Power Amplifiers: only 4 designed, one became a legend.ML-2Class AML-2 2 × 25W monoblocs ... | |
| Question About Audio Research Preamp Specs Maybe I should call CJ and ask them if they can adjust the caps on the 17LS2. Great idea, tell them you want the "uF" of coupling cap increased so you can have "little or no" rolloff above 20hz into your amps 10kohm input impedance.This is around... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? Hi jriggy, yes in the Denafrips (very nice dac btw) you do have 4 separate converter outputs giving true xlr. https://ibb.co/fG5hmdhBut what you intend to do may work fine, but by using both xlr and se outputs I can see that the phase of the one y... | |
| Have Passive Preamps Finally Come of Age? jriggy how do we feel about XLR out of DAC > Passive > SE out to SE amp??? Any downsides, asumming the rest of the scenario is working well?? There is no problem in doing this, but why not go all the way with SE from the dac, you may even ... | |
| The Levinson Sound? ML2 monoblocks, the best sounding amp they ever made. Only 25w but with enough current to drive any speaker to a certain level.http://www.hifido.co.jp/photo/05/504/50446/c.jpghttps://img.canuckaudiomart.com/uploads/2018/55/649485879_large_65b80b07... | |
| I need your suggestion for a Preamp. audiomaster BTW: what happened to this you were buying?? It's one of the best!!"I have an opportunity to buy an Aesthetix Calypso Line Stage amp" Just saying. I did notice you’ve started 6 threads, with over 80 members posting answers to your q... |
