| Impedance matching between 2k ohm phono pre and 100k ohm amps via passive pre tubed phono stage (2k ohms output) through a passive preamp into two Dayens Ampino mono blocks (100k ohms input). With the phono stage output impedance being high at 2kohms, I would search for a passive that uses a 20kohm volume control (pote... | |
| Value inquiry - Martin Logan Motion series I was hoping that I could get about $1000 Wish you were in Australia, we’d have to pay over a $1000 just for the Denon 150w x7.1 Reciever.Cheers George | |
| Value inquiry - Martin Logan Motion series $1500 your total price is cheap enough. But you need someone that needs the whole lot.Maybe you should try listing them separately, if you were in Australia I would be interested in the Motion 8.Cheers George | |
| Supratek mono amps, who's got them?! http://www.supratek.com.au/merlot.php Ask for Mick.Cheers George | |
| Do all normal preamps have fuses? Hello again. Do all moder n preamps have fuses? I was thinking of changing out the fuse in my ayre k5xemp to a sr black , seeing how everyone is claiming improvements in sq. So, i opened it up to check size, but couldnt find a fuse. A transformer... | |
| Old Amp vs. New Amp L-o7's were a great sounding amp, very wide bandwidth, fast and dynamic. Had today's sound yesterday. But weren't very stable, could oscillate at the drop of a hat with capacitive loading like ESL speakers give.Cheers George | |
| Tube vs Solid State Don’t know about you guys, my room is 15’D x 30’W and 60db’s is plenty loud. In that size room that’s a bit quiet for me, especially with the 800D’s, they are a speaker that’s likes to be driven to get the bass going, at those low levels I’d wan... | |
| Old Amp vs. New Amp stereo5977 posts02-15-2017 8:14amIMHO, Class D is not yet ready for prime time. +1 Not until technology advances enough for the switching frequency of Class-D to be at least >5 x higher, then their switching noise output filters can do their j... | |
| Tube vs Solid State why he would have found the vertical biamp configuration to result in a less weighty deep bass compared to running the amps in bridged mode. Bridged = less damping factor = less control = thicker bass (weighty?)Cheers George | |
| Can I use this amp in my house? Audio Advisor says: "In fact, the 851W is so powerful that a normal AC power cable can’t deliver the current required. We supply the 851W with its own dedicated, high performance 20 amp AC power cable." What a load of r****shThis is it at clippin... | |
| Tube vs Solid State LS36.5’s output impedance at low frequencies is correct the 10K input impedance of the Schiit is likely to be a problem. Maybe the Schiit Freya then it has xlr and se in’s and out’s"LS63.5 Output Impedance: 110ohm" At 110ohms, even if it were cap... | |
| Tube vs Solid State The only issue with padding down the gain on SS is a trip to manufacturer for gain adjustment. Use a $49 Schiit passive preamp on the amp/s with the most gain, so you can "balanced them".Cheers George | |
| Tube vs Solid State bridge/mono mode In every case I ever seen/heard/measured bridging a stereo amp yes gives more wattage, but your damping factor is halved and the bass is never as controlled.Cheers George | |
| Pass Labs XP-30 vs Krell Evo 202 cadence151 I would just stick with what you've got, especially the amp as these speakers need that kind of drive .http://cdn.stereophile.com/images/archivesart/C72fig1.jpg You could for a trial period try the Schiit Freya preamp it's a 3 in one... | |
