| Hissing sound coming from tweeters .Yes sir, pay as you go. It wasn't a criticism, it was a suggestions. Sorry if it came off any other way.. | |
| Hissing sound coming from tweeters .What Dtc saidIMHO your amps are not an ideal match for your speakers. You have way too much gain and even though price does not always indicate quality you have a $3,500 preamp with $300 amplifiers. I think you need to pony up for an amp that is ... | |
| Airport Extreme to DAC .What Sfar said, but you could use a Mac Mini in the rack and if you wish run it without a monitor or keyboard once you get it set up. You can control it from another computer, iPad, iPhone, etc. You can store your music files on a drive to the ex... | |
| Itunes ? .that sucksI assume you can see that drive otherwise?You could restore a time machine backup from before you updated.You could load an older version of iTunes http://www.oldapps.com/itunes.php but the new version may have altered your library so i... | |
| Active crossovers .I used a Behringer before I switched to this set up. It was highly modified and did sound pretty good. The output opamps were bypassed and I used Dave Slagle (Intact Audio) transformers, the clock was replaced, and a linear power supply used. I'm... | |
| Active crossovers .You don't mention a budget but you could go the computer route like I did. Take a look at my system.The Behringer is amazing for what it costs but you'll get a LOT better performance with a pro audio interface like RME and others.. | |
| How do I hook up 2 preamps to one amp .what Elevick said is the answer - both of his posts.BDG, no, he said to run the Lexicon through tape loop which will not work. In fact, I don't really know what that means. How do you "run something through the tape loop"? What you said will work... | |
| How do I hook up 2 preamps to one amp .Elizabeth,What he said about the tape loop or what he said about just using the Lexicon?. | |
| How do I hook up 2 preamps to one amp .I considered that too but since I have no experience with either decided not to comment.. | |
| Sending pre in for service, need volume controller .Can you solder? You can build one with Radio Shack parts for $20 or so.Google "passive preamp diy" for info.. | |
| How do I hook up 2 preamps to one amp .When you use the splitter you are effectively hooking the 2 preamp outputs together which is never a good idea.I haven't used a tape loop in a while but I don't believe that would work as described. The tape in from the Lexicon would be controlle... | |
| SET amp recommendation .If the 12 ohm load of the zeroformers remains relatively flat a 300b amp would love this load.As long as you can live with the loss of power. I believe these calculations are correct.from 12 to 4 ohms is 3:1 for the impedance ratiotake the square... | |
| SET amp recommendation .You don't really have an SET friendly set up at least for your typical 2.5 watt 2A3 or 8 watt 300B amp. Doesn't your speaker manufacturer recommend at least 50 watts?If your speakers are 91 dB 4 ohm and you multiplied it up to 12 ohms the trade o... | |
| SET amp recommendation .Yet another thread with too little information.......You had a 50 watt SET so I'm thinking a 1 Watt SET might not work well for you but just a guess with so little info.What speakers do you have, how efficient are they, what kind of music do you ... | |
| Is this preamp mod to reduce gain advisable? .too little infoAre you talking about a transformer on the phono input or the power transformer but the latter doesn't make much sense?Which preamp?Why do you want to reduce the gain? I agree that the closer you operate any volume control to wide ... |
