| Recapping im, that is only aluminum electrolytics in power supplies. It does relate cap life to heat but in a very non specific way. Recapping the power supply of a hot amp (class A or tube) after 20 years is probably a safe bet. Easy to do. This does expla... | |
| is it possible to connect a subwoofer to Crown XLS amps? My error. If the sub does not have speaker level inputs you have a problem. You do not have a preamp output on the amp. If your source has one you could use that as long as the volume is controlled at the source. It is an unusual way to do things.... | |
| Speaker Volume Your meter lies. Get a new one. Very few systems can do a real 105 db comfortably. You do not have enough gain on your DAC. | |
| is it possible to connect a subwoofer to Crown XLS amps? Audiocanada, you sure can and you only need a passive sub as you have full crossover capabilities in the Crown. If the sub has a plate amp in it just remove the plate and identify the wires going to the driver. These are the ones you will connect ... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Mayer, stay away from D'Agositino products. His idea of customer service is to get your money then leave you in the weeds. If you have a problem you are on your own. He does not support his products by maintaining a supply of spare parts. He waste... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Mayor,I'm thinking the X350.8 would do the trick for you. 802's like power and you want a stereo amp. I know the X amps are fairly high bias and in regular listening are mostly running in class A. Another great amp is the Moon 860A V2 made in Cana... | |

| What Class D amp you are using for your woofers? (active system) Damping factor and power cosmic. There is no reason to limit yourself to class D. Class D is popular for plate amplifiers because they can be made much smaller and produce little heat. But, if you are using passive woofers like I do I think AB amp... | |
| Tube amp forethought Kg, it must be around 6 by now. The current ones are the ESL-2812 and 2912. They are now owned by a Chinese company somewhere in Shenzhen and they are made in China. The 2912's are something like $14,000. At that money the clear choice would be t... | |
| Where subwoofers are manufactured You better buy quick before Trump puts a tariff on them!! | |
| Basis Turntables: Worth it or Ripoff? ctsooner, I have not listened to either Basis arm so I can not make any comments on how they sound. I have spent a lot of time playing around with Graham arms. I will not even look at unipivots for myself because (and this is going to sound a bit ... | |
| Where subwoofers are manufactured Magico and Wilson if you are filthy rich. I would just stick with JL Audio. | |
| Tube amp forethought Ralph darn it. Don't complicate things. I'm trying to get him to buy your amps and you are spending all his money on Sound Lab's speakers.kg, just in case you are interested the Quad equivalent Sound Lab would be the 545:) | |
| Maggie owners (past, present, future) what do (did) you love and or dislike about them? mewsickbuff, take a deep breath! Your amp will do just fine. 3.7i' are not all that much larger than 1.7's they are just a more imposing image but in reality do not eat up that much floor space. The 1.7's are an apartment speaker. Your room is on ... | |
| Tube amp forethought Three-easy, basically you are right but guys our age have a romantic passion for tubes. Who knows, maybe it is the smell of hot power tubes.kgvteran, everybody is forgetting about our friend Mr Karsten. His amps (Atma-Sphere) are ideally suited fo... |
