| Tone controls -- assuming you're ok with them, when would you try them? Pictures of me in a corset are strictly fake news. | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? @english210 Since I’m a student too, I don’t have grounds to confirm what you’re saying.What I will say is that from my research here and elsewhere there is a relatively small number of makers that fulfill certain metrics above the fundamental one... | |
| Which DAC makers let you do in home trial? Thanks for the detailed descriptions! | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? It's hard to say what sound I'm after, but I've had solid state all my life, and couple experiences with tubes changed my attitude. So, I'm taking a plunge in that direction, and knowing about the sensitivity factor helps widen the playing field f... | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? @almarg @tvad I think that resolves the indeterminacy in question. Thx. | |
| Tone controls -- assuming you're ok with them, when would you try them? @mesch Thanks! Yes, interconnects...oy. | |
| Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions? @lalitk I didn't mean to put words in your mouth or be disputatious! You said:Less than 96dB, say 92dB efficiency SS amp is the way to go. Some full range speakers even dip down to 2-3 ohms load, for those you need a good wattage power amp to hand... | |

I really appreciate that.I actually created a master document with suggest... | |

| Tone controls -- assuming you're ok with them, when would you try them? @mesch , tvad -- I'm sorry I'm not quite following.If one was thinking about separates, are you saying the best way is to insert the tone control *between* the preamp and the amp?Preamp ----> tone control ----> amp ?Rather than:Source ----&g... | |
| Tone controls -- assuming you're ok with them, when would you try them? I like the simplicity. Just hard to see how they made it so well for $150. But that's what people say about *all* their stuff, I take it. | |
| Tone controls -- assuming you're ok with them, when would you try them? I asked a local dealer about the Loki; he has a couple dozen older equalizers for sale. He pointed at a shelf filled with them and wondered why anyone would need to buy a new, 4 dial equalizer, when they could easily get 5, 10, 30 band equalizers ... | |
| Sales or clearances happening now @haabitat Thank you for what you do! | |
| Sales or clearances happening now He wasn't specific but he indicated a time frame for my first ordered set and was very good about updating me when I asked again. Super nice guy, straight shooter. I don't feel surprised, overall. I knew it would take a while. I'm fine with it. |
