| Recommendation As a fan of tube preamps, Klyne is the only SS preamp that I would consider. I certainly haven't heard them all, but I've owned Levinson, Krell, Classe, Rowland, Klyne, Coda, Threshold and had Ayre, Pass Labs, Spectral, and BAT preamps in my syste... | |
| Is hybrid power amp the way to go ? I think Hybrid amps may be a good path for those who wish to run direct from source, without a preamp. For those who use tube preamps, I don't know that there is much to gain by using a hybrid amp. | |
| Is hybrid power amp the way to go ? Hybrid amps ’could’ be the way to go, depending on the speakers, room size, listening levels, and personal tastes. Obviously, there is a very large speaker market out there that SET tube amps just cannot satisfy. Not that SET amps can’t sound wond... | |
| Best amp for natural timbre of unamplified acoustic instruments & vocals w/ Revel F32? So your speakers can sound hard, thin and sterile, and you are looking for an amplifier to help fix that problem. Right?What about looking for speakers that sound better to you? Just a thought. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... So, with a money back guarantee, as Donald Trump says to his Black audiences: "What do you have to lose?" and....we're back on politics again.....sigh.Why do some folks struggle so much to open their mouths without sticking their whole foot in it? | |
| Help me choosing an Integrated Amp Class D is truly the latest and greatest amplifier technology. You state that like it is a fact. HahahahahahaI'll stick with the oldest and greatest technology....tubes. | |
| Help me choosing an Integrated Amp Did you have price constraints? Is there a reason you left the Pass Labs INT-60 off your list?I think for those speakers, in that size room, 30 wpc may not be sufficient. Even Pass Labs website recommends speakers with at least 87 db sensitivity f... | |
| Songs that have stood the test of time. Well if we're going to include songs like Hava Nagila, then I will have to bring up Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday has been covered many, many times. | |

| Looking for a solid state preamp for Krell fpb 250m monoblocks As a fan of tube preamps, there is only one SS preamp that I could recommend, a Klyne 7 series preamp. Very natural sounding, IMHO.They are very hard to find on the used market, but if you are patient, you should be able to find one in your price ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... @jond , my thinking was based on the fact that my VAC 160iSE integrated amp (86 wpc) also uses a 5A fuse. It made me think that a 5A fuse on a preamp was a bit high, but I am no expert.As @oregonpapa noted, the REF 3 uses a 3A fuse, and the REF 5 ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... 5 amp 1 1/4" (large) slo-blow. Thank you. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Al, right you are...again! Thanks! The resolution on my photo was not good enough to make out that 5A Fuse on the top line, but you are correct, it is clearly legible in the manual once zoomed in. So it is a 5A, not a 3.15A Slo-BlowThat seems pret... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Anyone know what size fuse is in a ARC REF 5 preamp?I think it is a Slo-Blo T 3.15A 250V, but I don't know whether it is small (5 X 20) or large (6.3 X 32). |
