| Any US manufacturer of a 845 SET amplifier @goldprintaudio Done. Thanks! | |
| Any US manufacturer of a 845 SET amplifier Thanks all. I should mention that my budget does not exceed $5000.@goldprintaudio thanks for chiming in. I had you on my list as a dealer to call regarding my questions concerning LM amplifiers. I will do so. At the moment I am in a quandary as ... | |
| Sensitivity Ratings on Preamplifiers or Integrateds vs. Amplifiers Thanks, George. I wasn't aware of the 12AY7 tube. I believe there is another tube, having a 4 digit designation, that can replace the 12AX7 for lower gain. Maybe the same tube with different designations?I am currently not in the mood to get over... | |
| Streaming newbie looking for guidance That Innuos Zen products look interesting to me. Fit what my needs would be, server and streamer. I use a Mac mini as a server, but use a transport into the same DAC for critical listening. Also, an upgrade from Spotify would be necessary for impr... | |
| Tube Amp lower power vs higher power and cruising volume Maybe the difference when cutting the 8 tube 70wpc in half, and cutting the 4 tube 40wpc in half, is that what is loss is 'headroom' power and not the 'foundation' power the speaker demands. If wishing to run in triode mode I can understand the n... | |
| Sensitivity Ratings on Preamplifiers or Integrateds vs. Amplifiers George, thanks for your response. I usually get around to looking inside a piece of equipment I own to see what I purchased. Never in a hurry to do so with something new (to me). My LM211 is just past the broken in stage. I will play with the vol... | |
| New Dac +1 jazzman7. I owned the BDA-1 for 7 years. Used it with a USB/SPDIF converter for computer. Coax otherwise. Great PCM machine. Many inputs. Balanced and single ended outputs. I sold mine a year ago here on AG for $700 I believe. Maybe a little le... | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? Several have addressed this herein. What's one more? A tube amplifier asked to drive a difficult to drive load provides less than stellar sound. Far more speakers are designed for SS amps than tube ones. There are many PL user contributors on this... | |
| Sensitivity Ratings on Preamplifiers or Integrateds vs. Amplifiers @yogiboy Thanks for your response. I do own a SYS. I am really not overly concerned with the volume position as I am wondering how much power I am reaching at the position. I don't feel I would accomplish much adding another potentiometer and pai... | |
| Streaming newbie looking for guidance I am going to take soix's advise and check out that Innuos ZEN Mini. | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? The OP has purchased a Cambridge CXC and a MHDT Orchid DAC. A great combination for the money, and beyond. | |
| New Dac Yes budget. Also what sources will you use with the DAC? | |
| Looking for a good system for my apartment. Any advise? I believe the Canare speaker cable is one of the best buys in audio. The locking bananas would be nice.Check out the Blue jeans Cable site. They sell the Canare speaker cable and Belden digital coax. Both are sold by the foot. It is generally rec... | |
| Any US manufacturer of a 845 SET amplifier Thanks all for the quick response. I will check out these products and call Tone Imports. | |
| Tube Amp lower power vs higher power and cruising volume I would not move up for the sake of power unless I felt that my speakers were in need for more. To me the 4 additional tubes just complicates things. Very possibly providing more power without improving sound. Other's who have experience with both... |
