| Passive Pre - No Regrets? Congatulations Pubul57!!As long as we are making announcements I would also point out that my dynamics quest with the passive preamp is over, now I got the dynamics of my previous SS preamp and the transparency of the passive, tweaks helped a lot ... | |
| passive preamp matching "Am I right to assume that the pre won't be a correct match with the power?"No the preamp will work just fine, you are in the 10 times rule all over, anyway the buffer in an active stage with no gain that is supposed to match impedance, thats why ... | |
| passive preamp matching Well its pretty simple and I reccomend it with no reserves!!You do need to have the right numbers for it to work properly:First:1-Amplifier Input sensitivity (Volts)2-DAC (or cd player) output voltageThe Dac output must be higher than the amps sen... | |
| How do I bi-amp using NuForces and tubes? The gain on the Cary V12-R is 1.3V pretty high, you will have to add a volume pot in front of them, you can use this:http://mysite.verizon.net/vze4c5pt/id2.html I also reccomend a Line Level Passive XO for the Cary amp, you will get much better re... | |
| Please help - 3 top-of-mind choices for Avantgarde I am a big fan of biamping, the Avantgardes are already biamped, since they come with the active woofers (subwoofers would have to cut lower than 250 hz!!)I think SETs would sound great on the top (with both horns).The lower freq would have to be ... | |
| Is Bi - amping worth the trouble? "Why not put all the money In a ecxellent stereo amplifier, instead of several lesser units with signal degrading from external crossover units."First of all it is my impression that there are no Excellent stereo amps, excellent would apply only t... | |
| Phono Stage: EAR 834P VS JLTi I am considering a phono stage, JLTi is is one of the first ones on my list, EAR834p needs to be modded to sound its best, I will probably get a used one and mod it myself. If you are using MC, JTLi is best since the 834 can really pick up, you wi... | |
| Cat Ultimate MkII Preamp mods for volume control? You can also add a placette check this out:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1159194844&read&3&4& | |
| Passive Pre - No Regrets? Atmasphere: I found that the resistance of the control changes the sound A LOT, huge changes and that worries me, I have been closing in on the best value for my system and I have always been going lower, now I am using 1k, the diference from 1k t... | |
| Passive Pre - No Regrets? Darkmoebius: Yes very short speaker cables I actually have built a pair to my flavor mixing copper and silver transformer wire, right now I think I am missing a couple of copper strands to give it more body. The ICs are Gabriel Gold bought here in... | |
| Passive Pre - No Regrets? Darkmoebius:Source EAD 7000 III DAC Output voltage 2Voutput impedance 50 ohmsAmps Leak TL12.1Input sensitivity 148mV r.m.s. input gave 12 watts output at 1,000 c/s.Input impedance 1 meg ohmPerfect for a passive?Speakers are 94 db sensitivity | |
| Passive Pre - No Regrets? I have my passive attenuators are inside my mono amps, the attenuator is a couple of inches away from the input tube. I have good dynamics but my old SS preamp was much more dynamic! I guess thats what you loose with passives against active.I used... | |
| Best super teeters to add to pair of horn speakers Chazz,Thats an old, very good idea, use a good full range driver for most of the spectrum and "add" a subwoofer and a super tweeter.The Bazzilla speaker is kind of the same idea, I used to have a Lowther driver from around 100 hz to say 18k with 4... | |
| Passive Pre - No Regrets? Gmood1,I had a PLC, I heard it for the first couple of days and loved it...certain details were better, so I bought it from a friend, two weeks later I started to notice a lot of things were missing...bass, attack, detail altoghehter, there was pr... | |
| Passive Pre - No Regrets? Hello Gmood1!!Have you tried a resistive passive vs. a TVC in your system lately? I had a hard time but I finally got the match made and the resistors betters the TVC in my system, Im curious about your findings.All the Best |
