| I need some advice on High End Car Audio... It is a pain. I did find a rogue installer who was able to tap the 1V output right in the circuit board of the head unit, so I was able to keep my head unit. My car is a 2005 Acrua TL.I have 3-way DLS Iridium speakers up front.Left the rear speake... | |
| 2 channel pre with subwoofer out? If your sub has a built-in crossover (which most do these days), your choices are almost limitless - just look for one of the may preamps with two sets of line outputs. | |
| Subwoofer Connection Might work.I was told that it would note work to connect to both high level and line level inputs to my Velodyne dd-18 from 2 systems and it worked fine.If not, I have a Niles auto-sensig switch I now don't need :) | |
| Siemens CCa vs. Amperex 6922 D getter I compared several tubes in this category in my Dodd battery preamp and found the Amperex 1960's white label and Seimens 1960's CCa's to be the two best. Between the two, I much prefer the CCa's.In my system the CCa's have much better texture - ju... | |
| new experience with my passive preamp Having owned both the Placette passive and active, I can verify both of Paul's points. | |
| Can a preamp's gain be lowered? The manufacturer or a modifier can do it internally/elegantly.The Rothwells degraded the sound my system. They are available.The Endler attenuators cost more, but the sound was much better in my system. | |
| Anyone try McCormack DNA + Placette Passive? I briefly tried a Placette passive with a DNA-1 Deluxe and it worked just fine. As someone noted earlier, make sure that your source has a reasonably low output impedance.I personally found both the Placette Passive and Placette active to provide ... | |
| Input buffer on dig.amps I'm not an expert, but have been looking at buffers. The primary purpose of buffers is often to get better impedance matches among sources/preamps/amps.Take a look at the the Burson Buffer or the Audio Horizons unit advertised here for stand alone... | |
| adding a sub My sub sounds much better using the speaker-level connections. the input impedance of the amp for th sub has such high impedance that it will not affect you ramp or full-range speakers at all. | |
| Need New Speakers I replaced my 2C's with Green Mountain Callistos and it was a major upgrade. In the same "sound family" of the above speakers, but much more natural sounding. Vanderstseen and GM both pay close attention to time/phase coherence.My wife is giving m... | |
| Does anyone out there NOT hear a difference in CD Keep the PD-65 and add a DAC. The Pioneer has a better transport than anything you can buy new near the price. | |
| Help with finding ultra-transparent pre-amp The Passive linestage or single-source remote volume control are passive. The active is just as clean, but provides a class A buffer and gain.All of them use the highest quality attenuators avaialable. | |
| Preamp help needed - max $ 2500 I have tried several both SS and tubed and the most accurate/natural-sounding by far is the Placette Active. You can pick one up for that price used if you are a bit patient. 10audio has reviews.They like the Dodd battery-powered tube premp in the... |
