| Should I upgrade DAC, speaker cables, ICs, or PCs? OK Mintzar, looks like you want to be asked: what are your suggestions for doing better than those components, for the money? | |
| Should I upgrade DAC, speaker cables, ICs, or PCs? Great feedback!Actually, I'm surprised everybody went for the source as the first step. It's unusual to get an unanimous answer in this hobby. Maybe the question was too obvious, not to me anyway.Sorry about the typo: the Rotel is a CD player inde... | |
| Power cord for MHDT Havana Sandhya,It might be your room and setup. It sounds like you have no treatment whatsoever done, amd your room might have a lot of hard surfaces.I've been reading A LOT about acoustics and its's paying off nicely. Without changing my electronics or ... | |
| 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 ... |
