| basic passive preamp Yes the McCormack Micro line drive is a great potentiometer based passive, with an active stage that can be switched in as well, if your source has low output voltage, <1v. Trouble is the active stage is just a Analog Devices AD712 dual-op-amp... | |
| basic passive preamp majorc George I didn't understand your post re what are on ebay for under $100. And how does the sound quality of the Schitt compare to the others Hi, when you said in your first post affordable. I thought cheap but good. The Schiits volume ... | |
| Fair price for a Yamaha RX-V1 +1 TonykayMake sure you get one with HDMI the V1 doesn't have hdmi.https://mans.io/images/1064269/1137435.jpg Cheers George | |
| basic passive preamp You want 10kohm log cheap and good quality, there are many on ebay under $100? The pick for me though is the 10kohm log Schiit Sys. $49 and if you don’t like it you can send it back. And if you need more inputs there are many rca input switch boxe... | |
| Recommend small, low power but low noise monoblocks For the lowest noise and extended frequency response, for a tweeter amp I would go low power (10-20w) Class A solid state. Perhaps seeing you can diy, I would look at one of Nelson Pass small class A’s First Watt type in kit form, many clones on e... | |
| looking for ideas on a tube pre amp I believe Ralph of "Atma-sphere" does a balanced tube pre, and to boot it's direct coupled,(no output capacitor coupling). Which to me colours the sound no matter which type of cap is used, always best to go direct coupling (dc) as the best soundi... | |
| Subwoofer is too loud with gain all the way down Put some Rothwell inline attenuators on the subwoofer rca'sCheers George | |

| Redbook Keeps Surprising Wow what a hornets nest I've started with this copyright ****.How's about we get back on topic " Redbook Keeps Surprising "Cheers George | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Yes, that 700cx Krell has low sensitivity as stated by Krell at 3.58 Vrms to give it full output just before clipping Most amps are usuall 1-2v. Your lucky the phono stage has so much output 8v (which I think is peak/peak anyway) not rms.Well eve... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? audiolabyrinthHi Georgelofi, thankyou, the phono stage that I'm considering is the Vincent pho-700 with outboard power supply solid state/tube hybrid mc/mm phono pre-amp, check it out for me George, audio advisor sells it, has the specifica... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Yes I would never advise anyone to put a Lightspeed circuit inside any audio equipment, no matter who made it. But I don't think @audiolabyrinth wants to do that. He says he want to put a Lightspeed Attenuator "on" his phono stage. The Lightspeed ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? audiolabyrinthHi Georgelofi, is it possible to use a light speed attenuator on a phono pre-amp?, I like being different and the first world wide to have such a scheme, if not, can you build me such an attenuator? Yes it is, I have numerous o... | |
| Wilson Audio Sasha 2 vs Sophia 3 "Typically" an amp that is solid state with big power supply and using bi-polar output transistors (BJT) are the ones that will give the best current output.To put that into laymans terms, an amp that can "almost" double it’s wattage for each halv... | |
| Wilson Audio Sasha 2 vs Sophia 3 No problems driving the Sashas. Back when I had the Ref 110 amp Yes, but the Ref110 has double the amount of output tubes than the Ref75, 8 instead of 4.The Ref 75 may sound fine, even in the bass/upper bass to the unwary, but when an amp with ... |
