| Amp problem Regarding the Pop sound when amp is turned on, there is a power on/power off sequence which must be followed. Powering up...Preamp ON, Amp ON.Powering off...Amp OFF, Preamp OFF.If you're having hum using the RCA unbalanced IC and not the balanced,... | |
| Hi-Fi amp recommendation +1 for a used well regarded amp. Only buy from a seller with good feedback. | |
| Audio Research VT100 MK1 and LS15 HELP!!! The EQ is a good temporary fix. Please keep an eye on the preamp for any shorting out or shutting down due to the tube.:-) | |
| Audio Research VT100 MK1 and LS15 HELP!!! So, there's no tube problem in the preamp? | |
| Audio Research VT100 MK1 and LS15 HELP!!! Chip, this has all been previously covered. Scan thru the comments. | |
| Audio Research VT100 MK1 and LS15 HELP!!! Very well stated, @newbee | |
| Node2i + Qutest or Yggy or Codex or something else You are asking about clarity and soundstaging. My first question is, are you using room treatments? You may benefit from a DAC, but your room is a major factor in obtaining focus, imaging, and soundstage. | |
| Audio Research VT100 MK1 and LS15 HELP!!! Also speakers are rated at 8ohms though As I stated before, KEF may rate the speaker as a 8 ohm nominal load, but you look at the impedance curve to determine which tap to use (to start with). The frequencies in the bass and mid-bass range are at... | |

That is the tray and slide mechanism.Most manufacturers have used Philips or Sony tran... | |
| Audio Research VT100 MK1 and LS15 HELP!!! @alphaguy65The Op is using balanced cables from preamp to amp. Maybe he should try RCA unbalanced.I've also listened to the R900's with only 30W; very large cabinets with deep bass, huge soundstage.@kentrent Something we haven't discussed is your... | |
| Audio Research VT100 MK1 and LS15 HELP!!! Btw, one tube wouldn't cause such a serious problem. It would be the pair or could be tubes in the amp. | |
| Audio Research VT100 MK1 and LS15 HELP!!! Hopefully it helps. But, there may be more than one bad tube. I hope I'm wrong.A reminder...Use the 4 ohm taps, re-seat all the tubes in the amp. Make sure they sit tight in the sockets. | |
| Audio Research VT100 MK1 and LS15 HELP!!! V1, V2 are a pair. V3, V4 are also a left, right pair. | |
| Audio Research VT100 MK1 and LS15 HELP!!! They are left and right channel. Replace both since you don't know their age.Then, hopefully the tube will not blow. | |
| Audio Research VT100 MK1 and LS15 HELP!!! For all we know, all the preamp tubes could be weak. But start by changing the 3 and 4 tubes. |
