| Gain Structure help, Mcintosh D100 to Primalune tube amp You maybe right, because the manual I looked at said "0 to -60db digital volume control"Maybe I looked at another model by accident. If this is correct then you have no trouble going direct no mater how low the volume is. Here are some picsThis on... | |

| Gain Structure help, Mcintosh D100 to Primalune tube amp Mac do do some crazy things in my view, like putting output transformers on solid state amps. But I loved some of their old stuff from the 60,s 70,s.Cheers George | |
| Where Do you buy TRANSISTORS? ever-changing Yes for the better nearly every time, it’s called evolving. Tubes if anything have gone backward, that’s why the real tube die-hards prefer NOS, than to todays tubes. Like NOS RCA black plates, Seimans, Brimar, GE, Telefunken, Mullar... | |
| Gain Structure help, Mcintosh D100 to Primalune tube amp Yes you can still use the remote variable out of the D100, but preset the Schitt so the maximum out of the D100 is the loudest you ever want to go. In other-words the Schitt becomes a fixed attenuator, and you still have the remote volume of the D... | |
| Gain Structure help, Mcintosh D100 to Primalune tube amp You have way too much gain. And the volume control in the D100 is digital domain, so anything below 3/4 and you run the risk of "bit stripping" the music Your Primaluna input sens is about normal, and high impedance. If you use the fixed outputs o... | |
| Which pre amp do you think would best pair up with an Accuphase DP75 ? Correction, that "below" (-50db) should read "below" (-10db to -15db) before "bit stripping" starts.Cheers George | |
| Which pre amp do you think would best pair up with an Accuphase DP75 ? The DP75 has a very nice low 46 ohms output impedance with 2.5v output, perfect for driving powamps direct. This is better drivability than most preamps can do. It has an "Output level control 0 to –60 dB in 1-dB steps (digital)" if your using thi... | |
| Just what kind of preamplifier section does an integrated amp have? You may been "bit stripping" with the Benchmark digital domain VC if it wasn’t used at or above 75% of full output. It should have sounded better direct than the Axiom if it was used like this.Many hi-end tube and more s/s integrated amps have pas... | |
| Gale 401a Speakers (partial working) for FREE collection in Richmond/Surrey TW9 - UK Great speaker and should be restored, reminded me of much later Thiel 3.6 in their sound, not quite as low in the low bass but just as fast and punchy, but they need an amp with good current as they were hard to drive. Bass units rare (CTS) (Chica... | |
| Why some preamps does not play music? Cold? Oh yes, sorry forgot about that. Fuses and direction change can miraculously improve all types of an audio system's ailments in huge ways, so say their users.Cheers George | |
| Why some preamps does not play music? Cold? Surprised he wasn't told just buy a voodoo fuse, which fixes problems.Cheers George | |
| Guidelines for buying used speakers (as in, are there any?) jimspovFirst thing you should do, before a speaker purchase or taking any of the recommendations here, is to look at what your amp is able to drive. That should be mentioned here, before anyone can suggest anything. Then scour the internet for the... |
