| Matching preamp to amp Dave,More would never hurt. I'm not sure about 50V but typically tube preamps do swing larger voltages than solid states.I'm SS dude but CAT is on my most tube likes! | |
| Matching preamp to amp CAT rules! It could work either with SS or tubes almost all brands you can ever imagine. The key trick is its low output impedance. Yet it doesn't have the best possible maximum output voltage as it could reach in certain units upto 20V. If the pr... | |
| Hi guys, a tube amp for my micro utopia be Might be wrong idea for micro utopia. | |
| B&W vs Vandersteen? Daverz,Very often numbers speak of names rather than a true value. Listener really decides to the best. | |
| cd burning speed After a while I've burned quite a number of CDs from different formats and noticed that in my current workstation the speeds bellow 8x would stop burning due to the disk error. When I pull this CD out of tray I realize that it's not even half-full... | |
| Quietest BUDGET high-current power cord? sub $500 power conditioner would make more sense. | |
| Ever check the Wanteds? Wanted: Legacy Focus $1100 or Aerial 10t $1500also wanted: Jeff Rowland Consonance preamp $500. | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states Arthur are you trying to say that at certain moment of time tube can throw let's say 1kw of transient power into the load??Do you have any source that would graphically show measurements of the tube output transient response?I have an access to th... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states I also absolutely agree and even sure that larger drivers are easier to control since they don't need to be moved excessively by the voice coil to have the same SPL, but would they 'dive down' to its designed lowest frequency with 30W is a pure qu... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states sorry for confusing, but i'm not speaking in terms of chaotic woofer movement. i'm speaking in terms of amount of pushed air from the woofer which is nothing else but sound. | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states Atmasphere,my due respect to your OTLs, they are money-no-object electronics for whoever can afford to spend extra $$$ for nearly twice larger amount of tubes per channel for the same desired output power vs. an amp with output transformer.speakin... | |
| New amp being touted as among the best ever...... I keep my Sunfire SRA. | |
| W/ $200 what amp would you buy? Nikko Alpha I believe is the champ in this price range that is often sold on ebay. | |
| Aquafina for record cleaning Don made his point. Aquafina is actually chemically distilled sink water that IMHO has no point spending money for drinking. I'd prefer pure spring water since purified distilled water is missing lots of substances the spring water provides to hum... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states tubes have high output impedance so they need transformer to convert its output voltage into current to drive nowdays speakers. hence the power of tube amps become less 'visible' to the lower frequencies due to the transformer limitation. this yie... |
