| Best Tube PreAmp - McIntosh vs. Audio Research vs. VAC vs. Atma-Sphere I never thought about burning through tubes & how expensive it could be while video watching. The Luxman m900u has a very useful feature: two set of input. Connect one input to HT and the other to stereo preamp, no need to turn on the prea... | |
| choosing the best The sensitivity of Paradigm monitor 7 v3 is 90dB (anechoic) and the Kef K160 is 89dB (anechoic), I don’t know where MC get the 94dB sensitivity from??? BTW, 20watt output on a 89dB sensitivity speaker will produce 92.3dB SPL from 10 feet away. P... | |
| Unknown High Frequency Distortion, Recording or Speaker? Which would you think would cause this issue? A problem of solder or a defect in the tweeter itself? It's hard to say, since the electronics and transformer(s) all house in the left speaker, there’s possibility of electromagnetic interference. ... | |
| How to Improve Gain for RCA on Preamp. Can it be done? Is there a way to improve gain on a preamp using RCA? Yes, a transformer. https://www.jensen-transformers.com/ | |
| Changing 100uf cap With those values, worthwhile improvements will be out of this world price and massive size would require outboard crossover. Perhaps upgrade the speaker to active is a better move? | |
| Changing 100uf cap Axion (Solen) is probably good enough. The Audyn Q6 caps in OP’s speakers crossover are MKP film capacitors, I don’t see the need of changing them, IMO. | |
| Subwoofer/monoblock connection IF your amps are not differential amps, your connects are as Miller states. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/subwoofer-connection-conundrum?sort_order=asc | |
| Unknown High Frequency Distortion, Recording or Speaker? When I run sine waves, no issue. It will start from 20hz and cycle all the way up to 20Khz with zero distorition. How you measure the distortion? | |
| Subwoofer/monoblock connection Put these two together and it means all you have to do is connect +/- to +/-. Caution!!! Some amplifier (bridged amplifier and some class D amplifier) are not safe to connect to subwoofer via high level (speaker level) +/- to +/- connection. W... | |
| Luxman sq38u from Europe I would like to use it here without a step up transfer if possible. What country? It seems possible, its transformer has multi-tap primary winding. | |

| AR XB headshell/tonearm @cd318, AR turntables are highly collectible, I hope OP can keep it as original as possible during refurbishing and use that after market headshell or diy something similar to install his cartridges. | |
| KEF 107 without Kube According to John Atkinson ’s 1991 measurements, the KEF107 definitely need kube in circuit or some sort of EQ for bass extension. https://www.stereophile.com/images/archivesart/10791FIG09.jpg | |
| 2v, 4v, or 1v input better? It depends on the sources, cartridge and phono stage output voltage, play with those setting and decide what is best. | |
