| Which Integrated amp for Mission QX-5? The Marantz is superior here even though it has less watts at 8 ohms. The difference between 70 and 110 watts is just a few decibels - not enough to be of concern! Yes, I agree the Marantz is superior to the MF and Parasound. Current delivery an... | |
| Which Integrated amp for Mission QX-5? I want to get a new more powerful sweet sounding amp. I doubt it the Musical Fidelity M3Si or the Parasound New Classic 200 integrated amp are more powerful sounding! Look at the specs: Marantz PM8006 70 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms, 100 Watts... | |
| Which Integrated amp for Mission QX-5? I suggest add the Vincent SV-227MK to your list, 100watt 8ohm / 196watt 4ohm, Hybrid design give you tube warm and transistor output power for bass control. https://www.vincent-tac.de/en/product-types/integrated-amplifiers/sv-227mk.html | |
| Surround speaker setup: disc player or processor? @auxinput, +1Setting the speaker size/distance/level settings in the Bryston. Also like to add that since there a passive Marchand high-pass fixed at 80 Hz 24 dB/octave sits between the KX-5 and VX-5 amp, the front speakers size should set to full... | |
| Problem of an infrared remote affecting two components at same time If your Logitech remote can do macro, you can program sequence of commands: power off RME ADI > changing source from Primare I-15 > power on RME ADI | |
| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? That science has not yet provided us the means (tests or measurements) to explain why many of us hear the things we do, with the choices we make, in fuses, cables, etc: doesn't mean we don't.Audio is just one of the hobby, it's your money, you... | |
| Harman Kardon TA5000x resistance specs Maybe less technical next post... Not everyone want to help you has a HK TA5000x schematic, it is helpful if you can provide a link to the schematic! | |
| Amp switcher with tube amp protection In terms of the Specialty-AV SP-71, any idea if the resistors have an effect on your sound? Or do they only get "activated" when you switch to the other amp? https://forums.audioholics.com/forums/attachments/20190218_165752_zps9eahesvq-jpg.28295/F... | |
| Broke key guide on 6sn7 how to keep using tube You can use a keyway replacement from Tube Depot, https://www.tubedepot.com/products/octal-tube-keyway-replacement The filament pins of 6sn7 are 7 and 8, you can use a DMM ( digital multimeter ) to identify the filament pins by using ohm m... | |
| Amp switcher with tube amp protection The most simple way to protect your tube amplifier output transformer is connect a 5Watt 100Ω - 150Ω resistor across the "+" and "-" speaker output binding posts of your tube amp, either 4Ω or 8Ω tap is OK, it will provide some load to t... | |

| Should the sound level in Triode mode be lower than in Tetrode it all depends on load. Both Mack truck and Honda Civic can cruise at 50mph, but the load is what makes it different. Yes, if you connect a 100dB sensitivity speaker to the 100 Watts amplifier and a 86dB sensitivity speaker to the 250 Watts amplif... | |
| Duntech PCL-3 on-wall will xover at 80hz make easier to drive if I add a sub and crossover the speakers at 80hz, how much does that ease the amp strain? Yes, it definitely helps, in your case, simply set the front speakers to "small" on your Marantz NR1510. | |
| Should the sound level in Triode mode be lower than in Tetrode I can connect left channel output of the preamp to a 100 watts power amp and the right channel to 250 watts one, and expect both the left and right speakers sound with the same volume just delivering a different headroom quality? Yes, if the gain... | |
| testing a crossover Lower than expected dcr for 0.22uH inductor; from what I can tell, a nominal dc resistance for that inductor is about 0.21 ohms. Are you refer to the 0.22mH inductor across the tweeter? https://ucarecdn.audiogon.com/a89e98dd-d4a0-4acf-9f74-934... |
