| KRELL FPB 650M MONO BLOCKS ..? Banmac, try this first for no money outlay. This is the way I would use it, and it will be very different. Leave your preamp out altogether, and go direct, as it looks as though your Esoteric sac x-01 has a volume control built into it looking at ... | |
| Theta Prometheus Monoblock vs Bryston 7BSST2 Yyzsantabarbara hi. The Kef Blade II are hard but not too hard a load to drive at 87db and 3ohm min right across the low to mid bass. And there are no nasty - phase angles to worry about.So a very good 4ohm capable amp would do, I myself would be ... | |
| KRELL FPB 650M MONO BLOCKS ..? As tested by Stereophile your 350M's can give."maximum power delivery of a monstrous 475W into 8 ohms (26.8dBW), way above the specified power. 850W was available into 4 ohms (26.3dBW) and while I measured 1060W into 2 ohms (24.2 dBW)"I cant see a... | |
| KRELL FPB 650M MONO BLOCKS ..? "I would like more power"I don't think you would gain anything at all, can't believe you don't have enough power already.What are you trying to get that you can't get with what you've got already, better bass, sweeter mids and highs, change in ton... | |
| Is no preamp really better that a good preamp? "Upcoming PS Audio BHK preamp??"Now that explains things.Cheers George | |
| Is no preamp really better that a good preamp? Like I said it's all in his careful wording if you read it again, his does not incriminate his own PS Audio DirectStream Dac as having the problem, and I very much doubt he ever will. He says DAC's, and singles out their power supplies and jitter ... | |
| Is no preamp really better that a good preamp? If you read carefully, not once did he refer the analogue power supply problem to his own PS Audio DirectStream DAC.I found that DACs with no-loss digital volume controlsCheers George | |
| Solder for ank legend monoblocks? Ditto Yogiboy60/40 but old stock led/tin rosin core, Savbit was my pick as it also had copper in it to preserve the solder iron tip. I don't know OS but in Australia you need to find old stock of this, as it's not ROHS approved, and the new stuff ... | |
| Is no preamp really better that a good preamp? I also will stand corrected that an active preamp may help if, the source (dac/cdp) has a power-supply problem in it's analogue stage(as PM states) not by just adding colouration, or as I have mentioned it's output stage/impedance and output volta... | |
| Is no preamp really better that a good preamp? I'll go along with that also Al, 1: The dac's power supply for the output stage as PM states is not up to it.2: If the dac output buffer is not low output impedance <300ohms, as some very weak tube output dac are today some I've seen up to 3000... | |
| LightSpeed Attenuator vs. GoldPoint SA1X Here is another comparison with similar DIY Slagle Autoformer Modules TVC based passive preamp like the Axiom. Still looking for one with the Goldpoint.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1248137240&openfrom&1&4#1Cheers G... | |
| Best $500 amp to drive Paradigm Studio 100 V2s? For your price $500 try to find a clean Yamaha P2200 a real sleeper, great bass, and good mids and highs, and relatively unknown for audio, used a lot in bands and PA.A Yamaha P2200 would do nicely, 250W, big linear power supply, bi-polar output f... | |
| Best $500 amp to drive Paradigm Studio 100 V2s? This is what Stereophile measured tests say to use with these, and I'll add about 100w into 8ohm and close to 150watt-200watt into 4ohm spec on an amp would do nicely."The big Paradigm's sensitivity weighed in at 89.5dB(B)/2.83V/m, 1dB more sensit... | |
