| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? rob67 Your very welcome Rob, and thank you very much for the kind words. Glad you like it so much and how it sounds, you’ve said it like it is. Are you going to try the 12v Li-Ion rechargeable battery to power the Lightspeed with? It will give a ... | |
| Serious Passive Preamp question ozzy62 If your system is passive friendly, an active preamp is only going to color the sound further. Now if this coloration is pleasant to you, you are golden. But I am of the mind that you are fixing something upstream that you don't like.... | |
| Have DAC’s improved for Redbook CD playback? mahler123 So I dusted off the PS Audio DAC and it was a Wow! moment. The Node2 just snapped into focus. Data: PS AUDIO DL THREE 2 x PCM1702-J – DF1700P / PMD100 a DAC PCM1702 R2R Multibit dac After listening to Delta Sigma converters with those... | |
| Serious Passive Preamp question rocky1313 Even though passives are my game, I don’t believe ANY active preamp can better a "properly used" passive for transparency, dynamics, uncoloured sound and extension in both the highs and lows. Saying that though your AR LS7 is "worth" fa... | |
| Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised Sorry, it was a long time ago, can't remember if they were II's or III's now, I can't remember having bi-amp terminals so they were probably II'sCheers George | |
| Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised If you think that George, you haven’t heard them all. I had an all day sessions at a "Klipsch Nut’s" man cave with K-Horns, LaScala, Belle, and Heresy, none of these were as musical to me as the Forte II’s were, they all just shouted at me where... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Oh, I don't mind that. I'm not hear to convert anyone. Why then interject with personal backlash, when celander and I, were just talking about amps that are most capable of driving the Duntech Sovereigns, and I just happen to see and post ... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Krell KSA-300 used here http://www.highendnews.info/reviews/DuntechSovereign-eng.htmSounds like Hypex N-Core Class-D can’t cut it with them here.https://www.gearslutz.com/board/showpost.php?p=11771281&postcount=5Cheers George | |
| Class D is just Dandy! celander He later told me in ~2006 or thereabouts that John Dunlavy used the Spectron amps to voice his SC series of Dunlavy speakers. https://www.stereo.net.au/forums/topic/49395-why-are-some-speakers-suited-to-valve-amps/?do=findComm..." I’ve ... | |
| Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised br3098 The Forte II/III is a great speaker, but IMO the Chorus just sounds better. Here’s a pair of Klipsch Chorus MkII’s for sale, if they were in Australia they’d be mine by now, they have passive in the back instead of ports in the front like... | |
| Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised The Klipsch Forte III to me was the only decent musical speaker Klipsch made.Cheers George | |
| Have DAC’s improved for Redbook CD playback? sell off my digital front end for now. Please PM me with a price for the Theta DS Pro Basic IIIA Cheers George | |
| Might try a tube preamp rshad0000 OP133 posts I also like th idea of getting a tube pre on a trial basis. I haven’t heard much on the Freya. Freya is great also, has 3 different modes ss,tube, and passive. Also has the best mechanical volume control going around... | |
| Might try a tube preamp rshad0000 OP132 posts This is what you should try before blowing 5k on a preamp. It in your instructions to set up rca input 3 to be a power amp only input.Set the Diablo 300 in the menu to make input 3 a "poweramp input" and this totally by-pa... | |
| Might try a tube preamp rshad0000 atmasphere6,545 posts09-20-2018 1:48amSince your amplifier is integrated and there doesn’t appear to be a direct input to the power amp section, I don’t see how a preamp tube or solid state would help. I believe it can be used as a powe... |
