| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier There is one question I don't understand: Threshold T-2 was designed specifically for T-series amplifiers, and the specification for this preamplifier says that the impedance at the balanced output is 150 ohms. It turns out that the engineers... | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier Just for your information, Threshold T-200 (1994-98) was designed by Swedish engineer Michael Bladelius. At the time Michael was working in Threshold, the company underwent ownership changes and sold to Dynatech in 1988, and Nelson Pass left it in... | |
| Are most tube preamps ‘ultra linear’? Are most tube preamps ‘ultra linear’?No. ‘ultra linear’ | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier +1 @invalid Just go with unbalanced input of the T-200, all preamp on OP’s list are compatible. | |

| Speakers recommendations for a Sony Japan golden era Hifi system Wharfedale has introduced a third "Heritage Series" model: the 85th anniversary Linton Heritage. (Its ancestral namesake debuted in 1965.)... in mixing traditional Wharfedale style and old-school speaker technology with 21st century crossover ... | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier Stereophile measured the input impedance of the T-200 at only 926 ohms If the input impedance of the T-200 only 926 ohms, the required output impedance of the preamp should be much lower! | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier For good voltage transfer from preamp to power amp it is better to have a low impedance at the output of the preamp and to have a high impedance at the input of the power amp.We should using a minimum ratio of >1:10 to improve transfer efficien... | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier For preamp choice, if you intend to use balanced inputs of the Threshold T-200, be caution of its 2kΩ input impedance! Best to choose a preamp with balanced output impedance 100Ω or less. | |

| Question on Preamp Outputs. @ jasonbourne52 The MC462 has different gain on balanced and unbalanced input. https://www.stereophile.com/content/mcintosh-laboratory-mc462-power-amplifier-measurements | |
| Question on Preamp Outputs. 450watts 8ohms the voltage is 60volts according to ohm's law equations V = I × R and P = V × I or V = √(P × R ) and P = V^2 / R The voltage gain = 60 / 4.2 = 14.3 2.4volts x 14.3 = 34.3volts 34.3volts at 8ohms = 147watts | |
| Question on Preamp Outputs. The bad news is you can't get the max. rated output power from the McIntosh MC462. The good news is the Marantz 8802a won't drive the McIntosh MC462 into clipping and in reality your speakers may not require that much power. | |
| Thiel cs2.4 upgrade to cs 2.4 se Those electrolytic caps are in the shunt signal path, any pp is an upgrade. |
