| Dac, Preamp or Dac/Pre Thanks for the input. It is an education process. I think that I am going to try a vintage tube preamp (CJ, ARC, Audible Illusions, SF, etc...) or one of the newer inexpensive ones such as the mapletree, jolida fusion, or the like. The LS50s sound... | |
| Enigma Subwoofer 1980s There is almost no information on this device out there. I did find out that it retailed for 2295.00 back in the 80s which means it was a high end piece. It could also get down to 20hz. I also wish I had a schematic also. I have removed the cloth ... | |
| Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions Grannyring,I was wondering if you might give me your subjective view of the modifications you made to the soundlab backplate. What would the priority be as far as bang for the buck that made significant improvement to the sound. You were correct t... | |
| Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions Thanks for all your help. It is greatly appreciated. | |
| Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions Atmasphere,I appreciate the sage advice. What you say makes a lot of sense. Although I won't get rid of the B1-S just yet. I definitely won't be buying anything for the B-1S (e.g. amp/crossover). I will concentrate on the equipment for the A-1s. I... | |
| Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions One question. I don't understand your point about both amplifier needing similar power. From what Dr West told me the B1s has an impedance of about 16 ohms to over 30 ohms. I think it is spec at being able to handle 400 watts but Dr West told me n... | |
| Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions That thought did occur to me but I would purse that after I have played with the B-1S a little bit. My speakers are in what was our formal dining room. It is probably 15 feet wide. The speakers look like a wall that hides the electronics which mak... | |
| Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions Excellent advice. I absolutely agree with you that I may get eventually get back to playing vinyl. I have several hundred albums in storage at the moment. Moreover, I don't see what I am doing as an end game. More like a beginning. It is good to k... | |
| Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions Thank you I will look into the Ayre. The Benchmark HDR has an analog volume control but the latest version has a digital volume control. I appreciate the advice. Is there any reason to use a preamp with a Dac when Dacs now have volume controls. I ... | |
| Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions It has both types of inputs. | |
| Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions Any suggestions on preamps or dacs that work well with Soundlabs. | |
| Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions Thank you for your input. I am going to a server based system (all my music is in digital (no analog)). Would I be better off with something like a Benchmark Dac HDR directly to my amplifiers. Also I would need to crossover from my A-1s to my B-1s... | |
| Pre-Pro/Preamp Room Eq - Help with Meridian One other thing, is the Trifield on all Meridians or is it only on the 861. I would eventually add a center channel if I go this route.Gary | |
| Pre-Pro/Preamp Room Eq - Help with Meridian Kennyt,Thanks for the help. Is the only difference between the 861 v2 and v4 the addition of the room eq which I can get aftermarket for the lower frequencies? In other words, are the dacs the same? If the dacs are different is there substantial s... | |
| Soundlab Speakers - Budget Amp Suggestions Here is a brief update. First, thanks for all the suggestions. I will be purchasing and comparing the suggested amplifiers. Ideally, I would like to have two different amps for comparison over the long term. Cull out the loser and move on to the n... |
