| Is my preamp useless? I decided to pull my system for privacy and safety concerns I don't want to get into here. I used to have mine posted and had an "issue". Sorry. | |
| Is my preamp useless? Milpai, I offer to bring my active to your home and guarantee you will like it better. If not, I will eat one part inside my active :)Are you close to MInnesota? I have no doubt you will say " I like your active better". No doubt. Let's do the act... | |
| Tube Amp - Output Power Fuse Protection Great points Upscale. I agree 100% with running tubes at 65%! | |
| Tube Amp - Output Power Fuse Protection It comes down to sound quality vs. risk of repair. If one does not like the "risk" involved, then buy an amp with a fuse at the output. We do have choices. I and others bypass fuses and even place copper lugs in the fuse holder. I have not had one... | |
| Is my preamp useless? The point is he and his company advertise these SOTA preamps as best, the point is not that he makes them. | |
| Is my preamp useless? Mr. Pass must in fact believe his best effort active preamps sound best. He must believe that. He is charging 10 of thousands for his best preamp effort and he advertises it as the best. Integrity is also important here. I assume he has integrity ... | |
| Tube Amp - Output Power Fuse Protection Simple. Fuses sound like crap! Forget them and do not use them anywhere if you want your gear to sound great! Ha!A circuit breaker on/off switch is the way to go and no fuse at output. I bypass them in digital gear with never an issue. They really... | |
| Best Preamp = No Preamp? One last clarification. To each his own means just that. If you think it sounds more real direct, then it does for you. If you think a good active sounds more real in your given system, then it does for you. The direct and/or passive crowd seems t... | |
| Best Preamp = No Preamp? My statements are fact and true for me and my opinion based on my pretty vast experience over the past 2-4 years. Nothing to disagree with. My opinion, my experience, my recent experience. My preamp is special and has always proven to be better th... | |
| Best Preamp = No Preamp? Direct sounds thinner with less body, weight and texture. This had been my experience with trying the LSA Attenuator three times, Placette, several DAC's direct, and several CD players direct. To some it sounds cleaner or more resolving, but I fee... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? I read those also and was intrigued. I should have it by next Friday. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Steve, not on a 1uf or smaller output cap...... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? We listen at the same volumes it seems. Yeah, C weighted.Charles, due your amps hum/buzz at all through your speakers? If so, how loud is it? Hear it 2 feet away only? | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? My current speakers are rated 90-92db and do not drop below 6 ohms. My prior Coincident Total Victory III speakers were 12 ohm and 95db effecient. Ok, all that is on paper, but my newer speakers seem easier to drive than the prior Coincident speak... | |
| What's the greatest bargain in SET these days? Correction. 6sn7 feeding 46 feeding 845. The power tranny weights 35 pounds by itself! The design brings the very best qualities out of these 845 tubes by running them at their sweet spot tonally. |
