| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers Moskaudio: As said, it's not necessarily the amp's rated output, although higher output sometimes goes hand in hand with higher current. High current amps and ones that have a high dynamic capability is what you want. At "normal" levels, your u... | |
| Balanced cables As was mentioned above, the output of a "balanced circuit", if truly balanced, will almost always double the output voltage of that device. Just because a component has XLR connectors, doesn't mean the circuit is fully balanced. I don't care when... | |
| Is a SUT needed? Raul: Did u post a response to my question about which phono stage u would recommend? I realize u like the "all in one" approach, but seeing I have a line stage preamp, what phono stage would u recommend? Maybe I should just sell it all and buy a... | |
| Is a SUT needed? Is anyone else not getting the weekly forum recap? Does it still come on Friday evenings? I have missed getting it about 3 times in the last few months. | |
| Is a SUT needed? Raul : What phono stage do u recommend? I have a Calypso Signature and two EV 600's as power amps. I love my sound, just ALWAYS looking for improvement. BTW, I'm pushing a couple of Wilson Maxx II's. | |
| Is a SUT needed? The more responses "I" get, the more I find out how little I know. I'm just looking for guidance from people much more versed than I. I appreciate ALL opinions. | |
| Is a SUT needed? sksos1: i'm just a few blocks from you down in Nashville Tn. | |
| Is a SUT needed? Sksos1: All joking aside, I had a Clearaudio Maestro and it sounded great. Didn't have it connected to an SUT. It had plenty of output. Maybe I need to invest in a SUT to up my voltage. .5 mv is a small amount of output for sure. I know with any ... | |
| Is a SUT needed? Sksos1: That's why I'm using two different MC carts. No SUT needed. Maybe a SLUT😁 | |
| Is a SUT needed? Jperry: Thanks for the heads up. I could have easily invested twice what I already have, to no avail. I'm pleased with my sound. It's all good. | |
| Is a SUT needed? sksos1:Once I replaced my "new" tubes from my upgrade from a standard Rhea to a Signature Rhea, with very low noise matched tubes, my noise floor is as quiet as a tubed preamp can be-almost. I chose the the RCA quad matched 12AX7's from Andy, at... | |
| Is a SUT needed? jperry: I replaced all four | |
| Is a SUT needed? Nandric:I'm not clear, on what aspects makes one tube superior to another. You read about NOS (new old stock) being the best. It would seem with technology being so much better in our modern times, a superior new stock tube could be manufactured... | |
| Is a SUT needed? jperry: I too purchased 4 matched RCA 12ax7's from Andy and my noise floor was reduced significantly. Still a little tube rush between songs at high level of playback, but that's just tubes. | |
| TO BE OR NOT TO BE the user of a record clamp You must understand-my wife told me it was either her or my Hi-Fi. I'm sure going to miss her. |
