| What will a preamp do for me? so that implies there is a role for separate linestages but theirs is a very sophisticated passive. Curious to hear the difference. I’m not convinced an active linestage does anything needed, but might create a sound that sounds more dynamic Coul... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Many people believe that SET tube amplifier give more mid range magic than Push pull tube amplifier. The reason for this is because most SET amps act like tone controls. Here is a typical, response graph of a set amp into a very easy Kanton simul... | |
| Need help deciding what preamp to go with my setup daoki Your Yamaha PC2002M only needs 0.77v input for full 240w out!!!!. Most sources today are more than 2v!!! The last thing you need is even more preamp gain as well.. And your Polk Audio RTI A7 are nearly 90db efficient!!! You need a preamp w... | |
| Time for a Pre change? Need the wisdom... Don't listen to the JC1's unless you're ready to buy a pair, they are a perfect match for the 10T's. Excellent advise, as I said and explained in my first post captbeaver OP these speakers of yours need current, the John Curl designed Paraso... | |
| KT 150 impressions I’ve been through nearly all the KT’s and still today, the best tube in that family has been the nos green label mil spec GE6550 in the white box, this was a honey of a tube, glass was twice as thick as any tube in that family, you could hear it w... | |
| What will a preamp do for me? Schiit Freya? Perfect, you have the choice of passive, tube, or solid state. And it has everything you need. Still going direct without "bit stripping" is the most transparent/dynamic way of getting the source to the poweramp/s. Some people j... | |
| Amsued To Death - Roger Waters CD Even though it was their final before the split, I think it was one of their best, just as good to me as DSOTM. Look for the earlier version ones, I have the CBS 25416 (third from the bottom) and it very good, some of the others may be better like... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. I have some old Martin Logan Sequel II’s which when repanelled no longer sounded pleasant with my Plinius Integrated 9100 (100w), they became overly bright and shouty. All ML esl's need amps that can handle the load "below" without becoming tone... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. ramtubes Yes, lots of people assume that they will continue to get more power as they continue to advance the volume control. One can be at full undistorted volume at any position of the volume control. That is just a setting of gain not power. ... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. ramtubes Thats horrible indeed. For some reason people buy these things. And when I say "easy simulated speaker load" (linked) it’s made for Sterophile and modeled on the easy to drive Kantor speaker by I believe the man himself Kenneth L. Kanto... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Reminds me a bit of one a few years back on the 300SEI. Just look at the frequecy response into a quite easy simulated speaker load!! that’s unacceptable, over 5db variation. no power at 200hz and at 4.5khz, nothing below 50hz and above 10khz, a... | |
| Amsued To Death - Roger Waters CD Yeah the Wish you were Here SBM, is nowhere near as good as the Amused to Death SBM, like I said it's my go to for the ultimate sound quality cd. Cheers George | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Excess headroom is a myth," at least as far as I am concerned. Best regards,-- Al And the same, even more so, goes for preamps, if it's loud enough that's all you need, there is no advantage to have it "able to be louder" if it's loud enough a... | |
| Amsued To Death - Roger Waters CD Amused to Death is my most go to album, for evaluating any equipment.And I think it's the best thing that Roger Waters has done in my opinion, probably because of the version I have which is Sony's "Super Bit Mapping" one CK-53196, it's so much... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. could you provide a quick list of your favorite (currntly available) tube preamps? I don't know about Roger, but the best bag for buck for me is the Schiit Freya it has everything, it's three preamps in one to suit all "flavours" and it has pro... |
