Biamping Triode Tubes No Feedback With Solid State Jeff, this is the most robust explanation I have ever heard on how to do proper biamping. I am humbled, honestly. I could not picture myself doing half of what you described in a million years. (Even if I was retired...) Not that I would not like ... | |
Biamping Triode Tubes No Feedback With Solid State Thanks, Jeff, that is really helpful. I wonder if the result is really worth it or if it may sound odd... The truth is that there is no SET tube amp manufacturer that offers SS parts to couple their low-wattage tube amps (ie. Viva). I think it'd b... | |
Biamping Triode Tubes No Feedback With Solid State So, there's no way to use the integrated to drive the mids and highs and biamp it with a solid state for the bass drives? | |
Audio Aero Prima integrated Mk1. Just bought it Hi, quick question, I am trying ot use the Prima as a preamp. Has anyone try it with McIntosh or Gamut? Can you tell me how to hook it up? Thanks,Josep | |
Mac MA2275 users, opinions Excellent question. I was wondering the same thing. I went to Lyric Hifi and did A/B comparisons. As much as I wanted a SS, the 2275 sounded way better. There are two main drawbacks though. The 2275 didn't handle as well lots of complicated passag... | |
Best Integrated All-tube Amp? I am overwhelmed (and humbled) by all your responses. I really appreciate them.Most of you mention that single-ended amps have their own disadvantages. Which ones are they? I guess class-A circuitry does not last as long as AB, does it happen the ... | |

Single-ended integrated amp for $1k or under? Have you tried the Sun Audio flea-powered amp. Class A in stereophile. It is only 4 wpc, so it will need 91db+. How sensitive are your speakers? | |
VIVA INT amp I also listened to the VIVA Verona at Victor Goldstein. I also had the pleasure to meet Amedeo, Viva's engineer, when I was at Victor's place. The Verona blew my mind! the best amp I have ever listened to. Best components, no feedback, single ende... | |
Speaker cable upgrade please help........ Does anyone know if I can make interconnects using regular copper wire? I tried the Home Depot HD-14G for the speakers and they sound awesome. Josep | |
Audio Aero Prima integrated Mk1. Just bought it I just received the MK1. I must say I am really impressed with its performance. The sound is warm and honestly I don't know why you need more than 40W. It makes my Triangles fly! The only thing that surprised me is that it did not have phono stage... | |
Audio Aero Prima integrated Mk1. Just bought it Hi everyone, while I am waiting for my MKI to arrive I emailed the Audio Aero guys because I was wondering whether this is a class-A amp or not. Well, they finally replied (to my surprise) saying this is a class-B. (Not even a class AB.) Well, I k... | |
Can all amps drive a 4 ohm load? This amp is a hybrid with only one tube which goes in the preamp. The power section is solid state. Cheers, Josep | |
Audio Aero Prima integrated Mk1. Just bought it Well, you guys made it. I spent the whole morning researching tubes online and didn't get any work done. Anyway, this is for the good. I asked the seller of my MkI and it has a Tesla tube. I did a little searched and it seems they are really simil... | |
Speaker cable upgrade please help........ Nick, I think I read the same review you read. (Absolut Sound review on Home Depot cables 14-gauge powercord extension - you get rid of the plug and insert decent bananas - this are made of pure copper). I haven't tried but this weekend I am going... |
