| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Again, all the best designs all have S/N ratio's above 125 db's.08-13-12: AudiozenEvery time I see a statement like this, the first thing that comes to mind is, "A fool and his money are soon parted." I used to be a spec person. Then I discovered ... | |
| A change of speaker impedance; is it possible? You could add a large non-inductive resistor, with proper (high enough) wattage handling in parallel, with the speaker input.

| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Why use Aerial Acoustics 7T speakers? Those cost about $10k a pair. Did you forget about the Polk speakers in this thread? They're about $6k less, and will probably (according to your description) sound better yet! For less money! Wow!!!What next,... | |
| Strangest problem I've ever had To add more fun, and headaches to it, it sounds like Quietrock 530 has metal inside it. It's under "cutting the panel" on page one. I saw this on a home improvement type of TV show. | |
| 4 ohm or 8 ohm tap on old tube amps? 07-22-12: RrogHifitime, KT88's post sounds impressive, however, VTL and Manley Labs have always provided only one output on their amplifiers set at approximately 5.5 ohms for the best sound with the majority of speakers. Yes, they did it by choice... | |
| 4 ohm or 8 ohm tap on old tube amps? I think user name KT88 gives an idea of what happens in this other thread. | |
