| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Believe Nelson Pass, his creds far outweigh anyones here.I believe he says below the input impedance is 20kohm, and states it in the specs, also 99% of sources will drive that, just some silly (pitiful as he says) dac’s ect that have high output i... | |
| Stereophile, no more bench tests????!!!! I always preferred Stereophile over TAS because of JA's measurements! I will miss this part of the magazine! Yeah TAS was for audiophiles who like airy fairy poetic licence to describe the sound and nothing else. I like reviewers that have a pa... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? As you can see, I’ve highlighted in red from input to output, if the volume is kept below 3 o’clock it is totally passive and the signal only runs through the source selector and the switched resistor ladder volume control. https://ibb.co/j8uwJnNe... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? And for those interested, the manual of the Aleph L passive/active preamp. https://www.passlabs.com/sites/default/files/alman.pdfCheers George | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? I’ve looked at most of the schematics Pass has posted or published. Typically when he means to leave something out he posts a "simplified" Please post a link to this latest Aleph L schematic of his, not Milan’s early version mod’d interpretation ... | |
| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? shadorne6,844 posts04-29-2018 12:38amNo Absolutely no!Cheers George | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? It is a provisional patent, which has maybe been granted by now on this special circuit, he may not have given the secrete to how he bypasses the "active stage" in the the schematic so it runs totally passive, after all it is patented. I've seen o... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? If your talking about the Aleph L there are two versions. This mkII passive patent pending one as he puts it: "The only component in the signal path is wire and switch contacts." Then it becomes active when the volume goes beyond 3 o’clock.Cheers ... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Ralph (atmasphere) is trying to counter my quote with other quotes. But it still doesn’t get around the fact, that a favourite sounding Pass preamp of Nelson’s is the Aleph L. And this preamp is a totally passive switched resistor attenuator as hi... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? I’ve done a blind A/B with 30 of our audio club members using a 10kohm passive preamp. A source with 2.5v at 100ohms output impedance. We had a power amp with 1.5v input sensitivity for full output, the amp had a special switchable input impedance... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? honashagen OP38 posts04-30-2018 8:02amLast night I think I talked myself into thinking my new pass preamp was sounding good. I was fooling myself. It still sounds too forward to me. I really want to like it. Your Oppo has an output impedance of 1... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses There are no sides here, just opinions, the only sides are the ones you are making up in your head. Of course there is, the BS "snake oil" side of fuses praying on the technically gullible here and the real Electronic Engineering side of fuses.... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? honashagen OP How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? $49 closest thing to going direct with a only potentiometer in the way.http://www.schiit.com/products/sysOr if you like to change the sound 3 dif... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses 04-28-2018 12:42pmAll you had to say was you don't know what phenomenology is. You didn't need to prove it. I don't give a **** what you think or what I know, don't make out like someones saying something, when they're not. Even if your joking... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses kosst_amojan HEY!!! were on the same side in this thread. Don’t!!! call me dishonest, your the one who posted a statement what looked like someone said it because YOU put in "colon quotes" not me mate, next time don’t do it !!! Because it looks l... |
