| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Sorry guys amp that can't keep it's end up at those 1ohms loads, will not have a flat frequency response from 20hz to 20khz no matter what level it's being played at. It becomes a tone control, end of story. Cheers George | |
| burr-brown vs. sabre vs. ? "burr-brown vs. sabre vs. ?"What you should ask is Delta Sigma which 1bit, bitstream, and even Sabre are, vs R2R Ladder Multibit dac chip.Most of the real high end manufacturers are going back to using R2R ladder Multibit, even some using discrete... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers "important to know whether the ESL was voiced to be driven by a SS or tube amp."I own myself a pair of ML Monoliths III's with quite new fresh panels. If I drive them with a my pair of Rogue 120 tube amps, they have highs but they are very distant... | |
| Yggdrasil Dac by Schiit? I've been doing some reading on the Schiit and would like to hear one, and I'm impressed that they have opted to use the older and much more expensive way of digital to analogue conversion by using Ladder Multibit dac chips instead of the cheaper ... | |
| A separate dac and preamp or a good dac with pream In my opinion I would get a dac that has output level control done in the digital domain, and connect direct to your amp. As this will be the most transparent/dynamic sound you can get from source to amp.It would be nice to get one that you can se... | |
| Fix Aesthetix Io volume control? Yes by all means O_holter, I thought you nailed the problem down to the volume control yourself, but yes if you are not sure, then Rushton has a good point to make. What you should do is lift the lid to swap tubes left to right to see if anything ... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers The fact is they want an amp that are stable and also that can double it's wattage from 8ohms down to 4 ohms and yet still increase even to 2ohms, (which means an amp that can do good current) This means that if an amp cannot do this, then at the ... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Once again from the Martin Logan website. They should know their own speakers."Quote:However, it is important that the amplifier be stable operating into varying impedance loads: an ideally stable amplifier will typically be able to deliver nearly... | |
| Fix Aesthetix Io volume control? Yes this is more complex for you to fix.If there is no sound from it. If it's switched resistor (series/shunt) volume pot then it could be either the wiper series resistor is not contacting or you have a dry joint on the input output or ground wir... | |
| Fix Aesthetix Io volume control? Get a new quality volume control (potentiometer) installed if it's not a bad solder joint.The volume control even a quality one is the single worst component in an audio system. It consists of a very thin spring loaded metallic (usually brass) wip... | |
| What is the best tube pre-amp for my system Snooker14 This Ayon CD5 source you have has a 300ohm 6H30 tube output buffer, and it's stronger and has better drive than most tube preamps have, but still not as strong as most solid state output buffers (which I prefer), so keep your interconnec... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? No problems that's fine if owners wish to mod them, with exotic wires and WBT RCA's, warranty of course is voided. The wires I use are 99.9% oxygen free solid core copper, which to my ear are neutral, and the gold chassis RCA's I use are made in A... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Mods can cause more problems in other areas.The Decaware amp is 100kohm input impedance and it's input sensitivity it only needs 2v for it to give full output.The Audio Note DAC 3.1 has in standard form 3v output, as you can see this is more than ... | |
| What is the best tube pre-amp for my system Snooker14 hi, Have you tried direct connection between your Ayon CD5 and Pass 350.8?As the Ayon has output level control at it's lowest setting from 0-4V variable.And your Pass amp is 50kohm input impedance and only needs 2v in to drive it to max ... | |
| What to do: upgrade amp or buy pre-amp Chenglo1 your WFS Dac has volume controllability, and is a perfect impedance match direct into your Levinson amp, and because the Rel is 150kohms input impedance this also can be driven via a Y connector from the WFS dac. This setup should get you... |
