| Auraliti PK100 I just got a PK90. I also e-mailed them numerous times and always got a response from Ray. Sometimes it was quick, and sometimes a few days. Everything A-OK with these guys, I just think they are busy, and are a very small company.The PK90 works g... | |
| W4S DAC1 & STP-SE vs. W4S DAC2 as digital frontend What a mysterious answer that was. | |
| Cambridge Audio 751 BD or Oppo BDP95? It seems that I like to use extra "e"'s | |
| Cambridge Audio 751 BD or Oppo BDP95? Isn't the Camebridge based off of the Oppo like the other manufactures do? | |
| Magnepan 1.6 active 24db slop better than stock? Are you planning to remove the grill to bypass the internal crossover for active bi-amping? It probably took Magnepan quite a lot of time and expertise to dial in that sound. Unless you're willing to spend hundreds of hours tweaking the frequency ... | |
| Thoughts of Pass XA30.5, 60.5 If your preamp is solid state with an output imp. of 100 or so Ohms then you should be just fine with the 2 amps. | |
| silver upgraded Mccormack DNA-1 comparison I agree with Larryken. I once had a DNA .5 that I upgraded to Rev. A which is now called "Gold". It was a nice improvement, but the tone of the amp didn't change, only more detail. I also had a TAD 150 signature as well. It was better than my ARC ... | |
| Class A Amp owners, Whats your power bill? Schipo: Do you have to give them your old amp so it can be crushed?Elevick: A 25 watt bulb? Yes, if you put 20 of them in a row.Most power companies charge from 12 to 20 cents for every 1,000 watts run for 1 hour. So you can figure it from there. | |
| Is equal gain OK for bi-amping? Al: very helpful thanks to all here.One question though: If the amps have 2 very different input impedances, say 20K and 60K and they have equal gain, won't the output volume be different also because of the impedance being un-equal? | |
| Is equal gain OK for bi-amping? Oops, seem like I forgot input impedance has to be the same also. Well that makes it a lot harder to do. Maybe I will get an integrated tube amp and adjust the volume until it sounds right on both top and bottom. Will I really be wasting the power... | |
| Pass XA30.5 vs. X150.5 John (Jdoris) I listen to lot's of different stuff, and a bit louder than your avg. level. I think I listen at around 85 with peaks to 95. What is your opinion on those levels, and I gather you are happy with the sound? | |
| Pass XA30.5 vs. X150.5 My speakers are 92 db and 4 Ohms, but they have lots of drivers 2-10", 2-7", 2-3" and a tweeter (Montana XP, plus I have a large room (35 x 25 x 10 foot ceiling). I was just wondering if the additional price of the XA30.5 used was mainly because o... | |
| Pass X vs XA amps sound quality in class A range Keep in mind that when you throw your parties you won't be critically listening so these amps will play way over their class A ratings with no risk of clipping as they convert to class AB. You wiill probably be safe with a lower powered one. | |
| Two things about tubes I have a Jolida integrated 502BRC and it's absolutely quiet even with my ear up to the mid and tweeter and volume at 90% with no signal. (spkrs 93 db eff.) | |
| Tube Basics 101: What is a rectifier tube for? Isn't that like saying any average steering wheel will operate a car, but take it out and let's see how well the car operates? |
