| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @ramtubes. Thank you for your reply to my questions.You asked: “If you have a good preamp, why change?”. I’ll list a few things that have me looking elsewhere. 1.) I bought this preamp new, and after about two years it developed an issue. Every fe... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. It doesn’t make sense to me that some people get so angry/defensive/personal/nasty when discussing audio equipment! It’s fascinating in a way, but doesn’t do much to educate anyone, and most certainly impedes oneself from getting an education. I l... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @ramtubes. I’m not ready to abandon passives from one less than favorable experience. The passive I have is a Luminous Audio Axiom... one input, one output, and volume pot. I listen to vinyl 95% of the time, so I was feeding it from the output of ... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @bdp24 That's actually a good suggestion, and easy for me to do, and I have no good reason why I haven’t. I had a Forte model 4a for awhile as well (50 w class A), but never tried that on Maggies either. I have different systems in different areas... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. @bdp24 Thank you for your reply. Roger commented on your reply, but my question remains somewhat unanswered. Your advice, which is common (though not universal), is why I’ve never tried a 25-50 w/ch “quality” tube amp. I’d love to be able to try s... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Speaking of Maggies... I would like use a quality, lower powered tube amplifier to drive mine. What is your idea of an appropriate amount of “tube” power for them? I sit about 9 1/2 feet from the speakers in a 14’ x 21’ x 8’ room, and typically li... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. Wow! What a great thread! I’ve been reading through this all morning. The comments of others, and your answers, have brought up questions that I have, but had no reliable resource for answers! So, allow me to start with this: I own Magneplanars. I... | |
| Please Critique my Setup and Recommend Upgrade(s) I've heard the Line Magnetic driving both Devore Gibbons, and O/93s and the combination, in my opinion sounds beautiful. Very lifelike and dynamic. I believe that you've made an excellent choice. Let us know your impressions once you get to listen. | |
| Please Critique my Setup and Recommend Upgrade(s) Hi, I'd suggest following the advice of hglaser above... emphasis on point number 1! That being said .. did an audio dealer let you walk out the door with a $4,000 turntable and a $400 pair of speakers? You've chosen good components, but at three ... | |
| Newbie With Magnepan 1.7is Hello,I'd like to add my 2 cents if I may... the preamplifier of an audio system is what passes ALL the sources on to the power amp. Too often the focus goes heavily in the direction of the power amp, and the preamp choice process is neglected. I... |
