| Passive preamp w/Rogue Medusa and Rega DAC I've always thought that that only way of going one better than using a passive pre from dac/cdp to the poweramps is by going direct if the dac/cdp has a digital domain VC, and so long as it's used no less than 75% of full as I've stated in above ... | |
| Lamm 1.2 vs. Pass xa 60.5 And also Kevinkwann it's not a question of better "sound" of the two amps, the OP's original question is "more juice for his Vivid g3". And the Lamm 1.2 is a step sideways in this regard.Just look at Syntax's speakers 100db!!!, infinately easier t... | |
| Passive preamp w/Rogue Medusa and Rega DAC His Rega dac get some good raps, even over the Benchmark, in some of the a/b's done. But you are right Labtec going direct with a dac or cdp that has a digital domain VC is the only way to better the transparency of good a passive pre. You just ha... | |
| Passive preamp w/Rogue Medusa and Rega DAC I've had a few customers who have taken it on themselves to add their own remote volume controls to their Lightspeed Attenuators, like these aftermarket ones. [url]http://www.ebay.com/sch/Consumer-Electronics-/293/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=Remote... | |
| Lamm 1.2 vs. Pass xa 60.5 Hi, Icorem those G3 speakers looking at the Steophile test measurments have a current hungry bass, 4ohms and -40 degrees phase angle, also they need watts as well at only 86db efficiency.I think the Lam's maybe be a bit of a sideways step, if you ... | |
| Amplifier is now off the Power Conditioner Lewinskih01.Looking at Thaluza's experience.I would put the Furman P-2400 IT at the top of your list, as your MC275 will draw even more current that a S.E.300bCheers George | |
| Passive preamp w/Rogue Medusa and Rega DAC Definitely worth a try Sam for the money, compared to the cost of a good active preamp. The sound you'll get with a passive pre in your setup will be honest to the source, the frequency and dynamic range of it will not be limited, and it will be u... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? 05-19-14: ErwannHi George,I just had a quick glance at the Audiogon thread to figure out whether I can find a better power supply than my decommissioned Prius auxiliary battery, and I fail to understand how a Teradak, with or without a fancy cord,... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? 05-09-14: Jult52I compared the LSA with a switch-mode ps and the linear TeraDak 9v supply discussed earlier in this thread. I am going to report a null result: I could not reliably differentiate between the sound of the two. The TeraDak carried no... | |
| Passive preamp w/Rogue Medusa and Rega DAC Thank you for saying so Marqmike, I refrained from saying so, otherwise I would have had the wrath of the anti passive preamp brigade coming down on me, yet again!Cheers George | |
| Passive preamp w/Rogue Medusa and Rega DAC You have great system parameters for a passive. Your cdp at 2v has double what it takes to clip your amp at 1v. It's output impedance will be fine into a 10k or 20 k logarithmic passive, if going the way of a potentiometer I would use something li... | |
| Yaqin MC-10T no bass? http://www.salonav.com/arch/2008/10/028-7raz.shtmlThe Warfedale 93 is the same as the 95 but smaller box which will make it even harder to drive.As you can see (link) fourth graph up from the bottom. In the bass the impedance is not too bad (green... | |
| Amplifier is now off the Power Conditioner Lowest impedance path all the way back to the mains generating source is the best thing for unregulated poweramps power supplies.If you have the knowledge or experience you can do this yourself, if not please get an electrician to do it. The best ... | |
| Amplifier is now off the Power Conditioner Powersupply conditioners are usually ok for equipment have regulated power supplies, sources like cdp's, phono stages, preamps tuners T/T etc; But for most poweramp/s their output stages are not powered by regulated supplies, they're just rectifie... | |
| Okay, Classe CA 2200 or and Ayre V -5xe amps Both amps should be fine, as specs show they can both approximately double their wattage from 8ohms down to 4ohms, I like amps that can do this, as they would have good current drive to drive speakers with nasty dipping impedance loads and large n... |
