Impedance Question: Tube Preamp with SS Power Amp
Thank you. It all makes sense once it's explained to me.They sure sound great together.John 
Impedance Question: Tube Preamp with SS Power Amp
Ok. Thaks for that. And if I go to my ARC manual, in the Spec section under Output Impedance it states:400 ohms Balances, 200 ohms SE main(2),20K ohms minimum load and 2000pF maximum capacitance.In the Rated output section it states:4V RMS (2V RMS... 
Impedance Question: Tube Preamp with SS Power Amp
Vladimir you're piqued my curiosity.Can someone walk me through how to assess the impedance charactreristics of both my Krell 350mc's and the ARC Ref One Mk2. I'm sure I can go to the owner's manuals but I just don't have a clue as to what I'm loo... 
Impedance Question: Tube Preamp with SS Power Amp
Just to follow up - I spoke to Leonard at ARC and he clarified for me the fact that the Ref One has DC capacitors in it's output to filter DC from the Amp. So unless a tub blows or some such crisis the Krell's should be ok. He thought it to be a r... 
ARC ref One MK II Tube Upgrade
Thanks. Anyone else? So here goes on the 6922's. 
Impedance Question: Tube Preamp with SS Power Amp
So where do I go to find out if my AR Ref One MK2 is one of those tube preamps that puts out too much DC ??? 
Impedance Question: Tube Preamp with SS Power Amp
Hmmm:So I'm looking to hook up my AR Ref one MK2 with a pair of Krell 350mc's. Is this a mismatch? Must I do the internal jumper changes that Krell recommends?ThanksJohn 
any krell power amplifier users use tube preamps?
I have a AR REF One MK 2 that I'm about to hook up with a recent purchase of Krell 350 mc's. Does anyone know if the Ref one puts out excessive DC. I'd like to leave the jumpers in if I don't have to remove them.ThanksJOhn Cusick 
Krell FPB300cx vs. FPB300c
I'm also curious about this question. I just purchased a set of 350mc's and am considering the upgrade to the x series.
