| 120/240 V amp question Lamm and some Rowland preamps are multi voltage, so you may want to check out their amps, assuming they are in your price range. | |
| Best Dac with USB input for $1,000 or less Ejlif,Do you believe your preference for the Havana has to do with it having tubes and the rest of your system being SS? I ask because I'm keeping an eye on DACs and have a tubed pre and amp.Horacio | |
| Tact 2.2 XP: which configuration to get? Jools,The option I'm contemplating is for the digital signal to be fed to the 2.2XP for it processing and from there to an outboard DAC. This assumes he outboard DAC is better than the one supplied by Tact, which I don't know to be true.Point take... | |
| biamping question I see nobody has mentioned active biamping yet, so let me throw it in.Sy: a way that might accomplish what you seemed to be intending in your original post is to include an active crossover between the preamp and the amps: the full bandwidth signa... | |
| Tact 2.2 XP: which configuration to get? Folks,Thanks for the input. It has been 2 years since I posted, though, and in the meantime I got financially hurt (which delayed things) and have now chosen a different route: room treatments and a class A tube preamp. Quite a change!I haven't ye... | |
| Hi guys, a tube amp for my micro utopia be Saviourwin,I see nobody is chiming in for the Mc, so here are my 2 cents: I drive 3-way 90 dB speakers (vs yours at 89) with McIntosh MC275 and love it. The 275 is essentially the same amp section of the 2275 you listed. The 275 drives the speaker... | |
| Lamm LL2 tweaks? Hey, Tvad, I have used that "well...I was drunk at the time" line, but in different settings...mostly related to ladies and stuff. Oh well!!I take you were feeding power direct from a dedicated line thru the Ferrox, right? (ie, no power conditioni... | |
| Lamm LL2 tweaks? Tvad,Please don't take my reply as a challenge. It certainly is not! I appreciate your input. I have been digging the archives for info so I had some background prior to posting.I went back and searched, and searched, and I could find nothing! I w... | |
| Lamm LL2 tweaks? Thanks all for the input!Tvad: I recall an older post of yours where you stated the LL2 was rather inmune to power cord upgrades. Maybe that perception changed after trying the Dominus?For those who noticed an improvement from tube rolling: which ... | |
| Tube preamp output impedance at low frequencies Nemesis,This one is not balanced, but it is what I'm moving to now: Lamm LL2. Has 250 ohm nominal output impedance for mids/trebble, and goes up to 3300 ohm at 20 Hz. You can check out their website for the info, or see Stereophile measurements. T... | |
| Lamm LL2 tweaks? thanks for your input. Those ICs are indeed expensive compared to the value of my components, but I will keep them in the list.I'm surprised nobody has chimed in in regards to tube rolling, vibration control, or power cords. Anyone?Thank you!Horacio | |
| Tube preamp output impedance at low frequencies which sub are you using?My REL Storm III doesn't like being crossed over above 55 Hz...which has me thinking of using a SS for bass or switching subs. My main amp is tubed (MC275). Not sure how much relief would the 275 get from a crossover at 80 ... | |
| Basic Preamp - suggestions? I noticed you have a Rotel amp. I have a Rotel preamp that used to drive a Rotel RB1080 and I was very happy with it. Might want to consider the RC1070 pre. I have since upgraded the amp to a tube amp and I am now in the process of upgrading my pr... | |
| Tube preamp output impedance at low frequencies Great!! You made my day. Now I can go thinking I did help someone, at least once! This forum has been great for me, but I've been taking more than I am able to give.BTW, as mentioned above I'm considering a crossover as well. How are you implement... | |
| Herron VTSP-3A Luna and others: anyone has an opinion about the sound differences of VTSP-2 vs. Lamm LL2? It will be used with a McIntosh MC275. I understand the differences in ergonomics and other features, but can't listen to both. I've talked to people who ow... |
