| Can a bass-shy / polite tubed preamp be remedied? You may want to contact a builder or designer of this stuff like Electra-Print. I'm guessing some form of power supply mod and inline output transformers would give you all the slam you could ever want.Why not talk to the people that make them dir... | |
| Major help needed in Input and output impeadance.. Hi Matrix, I have no doubt the Wadia puts out up to 4 volts I was more or less talking about why 2 volts is more than sufficient in real world applications.Sorry you may have misunderstood me.As far as those flagship specs go.Look a little deeper ... | |
| Major help needed in Input and output impeadance.. Not necessarily so Matrix.The standard output voltage of most cd players is 2 volts. The standard input voltage is 1.5 to 2 volts on most amplifiers. I've seen amplifiers that need 4 volts to get full power from the unit(the designer claimed quiet... | |
| Major help needed in Input and output impeadance.. I could be wrong.But I'm more concerned with the actual gain and output voltage of the preamp. The lower output impedance seems normal to me. Your preamp should do just fine. I always equated the preamp's output impedance with how well it could ha... | |
| Eastern Electric Minimax preamp I agree the EE minimax is a terrific tubed preamp. I've considered one myself.Just remember it inverts polarity. So depending on what your using with it..you need to reverse your speaker cables. If your amplifier inverts polarity don't bother. Not... | |
| Your thoughts would be appreciated.. I know of one that works well with the 6.3s. The Monarchy SM-70 combined with the Sols will have you melting in your seat! One is plenty..but two should be absolutely terrific.You can buy them used for around $375.00 a piece and sell them for what... | |
| Maggie 1.6 vs Von Schweikert VR 4 The maggies will always be some of my all time favorite speakers. Not much to add to what has been already said.Planars have an addictive sound that's just not duplicated by any other speaker. I gave my first pair to my father.Went back to cones..... | |
| Velodyne Digital Drive Series subwoofer in stereo Opalchip...LOL..I really enjoyed getting under your skin.No doubt your very brilliant. It's been a pleasure.My only point is, I as well as others enjoy what stereo subs do for the music and movies.Thanks for all the great info.Will it stop me from... | |
| Velodyne Digital Drive Series subwoofer in stereo Quick quiz ..have you ever tried it? Most of the nay sayers are the same people who have never tried stereo subs. Also you've forgotten the Piano goes deep into the 20 Hz range. Oh I forgot the Piano's not a musical instrument either... right? Or ... | |
| Velodyne Digital Drive Series subwoofer in stereo Opalchip you come across like the cock of the walk with the tone of your last post. Tell you what my friend..how about you turn off that subwoofer. Use only your fullrange speakers, take one and cut it's low frequency extention off at 65 Hz. Liste... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx After listening to a good friend and his son two nights ago. As they played their drum kits. I have yet to hear a speaker capture that kind of dynamics..I doubt that system exist.The sound pressure levels in the room had to exceed well over 100 dB... | |
| Single Driver Horn vs Multi driver efficient spker Man... I wish I could go to this audio show. There's going to be a lot of great gear to listen too.I would love to hear the new battery powered tubed preamp by Welborne Labs.Looks like I'll just have to find out how it sounds when I get it here an... | |
| Are you open minded about loudspeaker designs? I'm more open minded about amplifier design than speakers.My two favorite so far are planars and single drivers.I do like the multi driver boxes for HT though. | |
| Epos M12.2 vs. Von Schweikert VR 1 vs. GMA Europas Peak,I'm glad to see someone else has experienced the Equation 25s. They are terrific speakers..eh, system matching is very critical though. With the wrong front end they can be ear bleeders.I would think your NON OS Dac would be a terrific match.... | |
| MF Nu-Vista 3D as Transport into MF Tri-Vista DAC If you really want to be curious and have a little fun, try your player with a Dac of a different company. MF seems to have a house sound. So using your player with the MF Dac would seem redundant IMHO.Good listening |
