| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? You need to back off. Sounds like a threat there sunshine. You are an agitator, as many on Audiogon have said, stop drinking or whatever your doing. Like I said.That’s the second time you’ve put **** on Nelson Pass, who do you think you are? bett... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Your such a **** kost, all you can see is your FW F5 which has such abnormally low gain, it needs an active preamp.And that’s the second time you’ve put **** on Nelson Pass, who do you think you are? better???, your not even his hang nail.Cheers G... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? samuelbPreamplifiers where originally designed to buffer and add additional gain but today this is rarely the need as most source components with the exception of a turntable, need additional gain for buffering. If you’re not running long cable le... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? So how about you lay off? Others and I could have easily called you on it years ago; its become tiresome. I think your the one that needs to lay off the false claims about passives with blanket statements about their ability to drive ect ect. Eve... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? You make no sense, can't see the forest through the trees, as usual.Like I said:"We have the voltage from most sources at more than >2v.Most poweramps only need less than <1.5v in, (some even 0.5v) to make them give full wattage output to th... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ with input switching.Cheers George | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? We have the voltage from most sources at more than >2v.Most poweramps only need less than <1.5v in, (some even 0.5v) to make them give full wattage output to the speakers. There is no debate at all, as any **** can see.Cheers George | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Its not wise to assume that 90% of all sources can drive a 10K load. This is picking hairs and scare mongering, and just selecting a worst case scenario. 90% of amps are 33kohm input impedance or higher. Very rarely is an amp a pitiful &l... | |
| Spike feet protectors Golden rule, couple/spike speakers to cement floor, decouple from a suspended ply/wood or sheet floor.If you couple/spike a speaker to a suspended floor, the floor becomes a bad sound board for the bass, ruining it. Cheers George | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? The combined aspects of the control can thus make the source less able to make bass at the input of the amplifier. This is not correct in this case, as with most of today's systems with low output impedance and high input impedance. If the sou... | |
| Screaming bargains in DSD-capable DACs? Judging by all the measurements done by this obsessed guy who owns very nice measuring equipment on many budget friendly DSD dacs.The $249?? Topping DX7 Balanced DAC /preamp/headphone amp, seams to be out in front, by a healthy margin using the la... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? honashagen OP I did buy an axiom passive preamp. Although it is very good it lacks in bass and warmth for me. I’m using the audible Illusions again. The only reason for lack of bass, which would also rob warmth, is if the source’s output is "cap... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? +1 PHD.As this tested McCormack shows, absolutely no need for an active preamp, when most sources are >2v or more out, and this McCormack only needs 828mV in for full output wattage. Stereophile: " Input impedance at 1kHz was a calculated 99.5... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... bluewolf Thanks for your kind words on the Lightspeed, I noticed you have the dual mono version, good choice as you can perfectly centre the sound stage image regardless of speaker position or room abnormalities. Battery is even better again for ... | |
| DENAFRIPS DAC ---- Owner Impressions, Feedback, General Discussion, Questions and more.... @bluewolf I am using your very nice Lightspeed in my Rey Audio Kinoshita speaker system Wow, that's a pretty esoteric looking second system, what are the Acoustical Systems battery amps and their input impedance. I can't find anything on the... |
