| Do I really need a preamp? Mapman is right with proper mating with passives. And as I have stated many times.If you decide to give a 10kohm passive a try, such as the very affordable $49.00 Schitt SYS passive pre. http://schiit.com/products/sys-passive-preamp, the only prov... | |
| Receiver Volume Issue You need to replace the volume encoder #ASX7004. $15http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=421086Cheers George | |
| Do I really need a preamp? Robcentola hi, Almarg (Al) is correct, technically, going direct and using the built in digital volume control of your Dac2, in my opinion will be the most transparent/dynamic way of getting the sound from your source to your speakers, without add... | |
| from w/w CARPET to WOOD floors Wolf_garcia is right.If you go with wood or suspended floors, carpeted or not, never spike into them, as you turn the floor into a sound board, which will accentuate and muddy the bass.Always decouple into suspended floors wood or sheet, only spik... | |
| Solid state "single ended" pure class A preamp Pani,you want a "single ended" "solid state class A preamp"? here is just one I Googled. But remember they will have mostly capacitors in the signal path or maybe a coupling transformer to stop dc offset from getting to the poweramp/s.Audio Electr... | |
| Long cable run from my phono preamp to linestage. No problems Audiobrian, your 4mt long interconnects are so low in capacitance you could even use a 10kohm passive preamp with them no problems, this would be around -3db at 300khz still.Cheers George | |
| Long cable run from my phono preamp to linestage. yep, sorry "MHz" speed always gets the better of meCheers George | |
| Long cable run from my phono preamp to linestage. Hi Audiobrian, I looked up the capacitance of your Cabledyne Silver Reference. The 4 mts of it will yield 160pf for each channel. This combined with the 300ohms output impedance of your phono pre will give you a -3db at 3.3ghz!! Which is no troubl... | |
| Help picking a tube preamp, please Al has a good suggestion heed it. If you want good increment control over the entire volume range, this can only be achieved by a pre that has full range of motion control with your amp without having too much gain. This pre can be set/switched to... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Just a closer explanation of the LED subject. An LED (light emitting diode)is probably the worlds most reliable active component if it's kept at or below it's max rating. Ever seen one blow?And in the Lightspeed Attenuator they can never get to mo... | |
| Long cable run from my phono preamp to linestage. Sorry Bifwynne, although I know Kim and Al from Deqx, I don't use their product, as I'm what you call a minimalist. That is, all components in my quite large system are modded and impedance matched in such a way for me to get the signal to the spe... | |
| sonic frontier subwoofer connection For a tube that is very low Brf, they must have a few tubes or transformers to get it down that far.So yes Vasser77 there should be no problem with your SF3 at 45ohm, with all three amps loading it's output.Cheers George | |
| Long cable run from my phono preamp to linestage. Kim and Al are very good mates of mine and operate just around the corner, putting Deqx premate in between anything will never cause damaging trouble even if there is a impedance mismatch. Your Ref 5 has a 300 ohms SE ouput impedance, they (AR) re... | |
| Long cable run from my phono preamp to linestage. Bifwynne.Your output impedance of your AR P8 being 200ohm is fine to use 20ft of interconnect with, as even if the interconnect was 100pf per foot (=2000pf for 20ft) that equates to a -3db of 400khz which is bat hearing teritory.Paraneer.For me to... | |
