| Help in selecting 1 of 3 amplifiers Later model to the one I mentioned, but still with Krell low impedance drive ability." Krell touts its massive 750VA toroidal transformer and 38,000 microfarads of capacitance as among the more potent ever incorporated into an integrated amplifie... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... re-settable fuses are yet another example of out of the box thinking. I believe it's more called progression, and becoming viable ($ wise) for manufactures to finally start using in big numbers, as a few years ago they were way too expensive.... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... John Curl advocates this one: re-settable fuses They are starting now becoming industry standard as their prices have come down over the last year or so, they are now much cheaper than a good $2 fuse + the fuse holder, and that is a big fact to ma... | |
| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? tomaswv Probably had very much to do with his 300m’s only having an extremely low 10k input impedance. Where your 500m’s have very nice high 200k input impedance 20 x higher!!.There is no spec on the output impedance of magic streamer and how the... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Love it!!! shadorne Cheers george | |
| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? Were only talking about the OP's Bricasti and a PS Audio both of which have volume controls, as the thread is about direct in to the poweramps with a dacs that have volume controls. I don't know how the Holo dac came into this, but it to me looks... | |
| Help in selecting 1 of 3 amplifiers I suggested the wireless active LS50. Then you at the mercy of class-D amps, like em or hate them.Cheers George | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I really would like to know if you have tried these fuses yourself No and I wouldn’t pay >$100 for one, but I have sat in reluctantly at a demo of them and there was no discernible difference between it and a good quality new $2 fuse.Cheers Ge... | |
| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? Holo Spring dac only has a fixed level output, no volume control, so either a passive preamp or active preamp needed.Cheers George | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... +1 Wolf, All potential fusers need to remember that fuses deteriorate with age from switch on surges (as pictured), and they just need to be replaced with good quality $2 fuse of the same value, as Almarg linked to. https://i.stack.imgur.com/0uqWX... | |
| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? Most sources today have output stages that are just as "robust" as any preamp's output stage, save for some tube output stage sources, then it needs to be <1kokm ouput impedance, some are not and around 3-5kohm which to me is not great designs... | |
| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? +1 amiCheers George | |
| Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer? Maybe it’s an impedance mismatch, but there is no comparison. "Bit stripping" (loss of resolution) is the problem, if your not using it’s volume at or above 75% of full.With the Bricasti you can adjust it’s final gain, so it’s volume control is u... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Not just the heart Charles as that can imply voodoo, but logic and all laws of electronics.Cheers George | |
| Parasound A21 help? Of course, you can get better audiophile fuses, but they definitely cost a lot of money. >$100 for no gain in sound quality over a good quality normal fuse, just get a good industry standard $2 fuse of the same amp/size rating, as almarg has g... |
