| Is my preamp useless? Atmasphere,I did look up that your firm manufacture tube preamps that do not require expensive cables or do not react to cable changes. Unfortunately I am not a tube guy. But lets not go there.So let us assume that I purchase this preamplifier. Wh... | |
| Quad 12L Classic Congratulations on your new speakers! Standard size spades 1/4" or 5/16" will fit your Quads. | |
| Is my preamp useless? I agree that I have not auditioned all the cables that are available. Will the manufacturer make a better cable next year - chances are most likely yes. Isn't advancement in technology supposed to do that? Nordost, Siltech, Shunyata, etc, all come... | |
| ATC scm40 or Spendor A9 I am also interested in ATC and Spendor loudspeakers among others. Hence heading out to AXPONA this year.One thing to remember about ATC is they are seal boxed design and their efficiency is lower than average. But I have only read appreciations o... | |
| Is my preamp useless? Zd542, don't feel offended just because you have not listed your system here.But I found this statement funny :-)Most of the stuff I recommend, I don't even own. Are you telling me that you are recommending stuff on a whim? We were not talking of ... | |
| Is my preamp useless? Atmasphere,I think you were generalizing that Actives were better than passives. I do not think I attacked your statement in any way. I was suggesting that we cannot make generalized statements. Isn't TVC a passive component?Grannyring,It is not w... | |
| Is my preamp useless? Grannyring,Thank You for the offer. But I am a bit away from you - near Cleveland. I would be eager to know your system, in the first place. At least that will tell me why you felt your active would sound better in my system.The next paragraph is ... | |
| Is my preamp useless? Atmasphere,With all due respect - have you heard all possible permutations/combinations of amp+preamps that exist in the world? If not, then it is simply YOUR view that actives are always better than passives. Folks have been very happy about TVC ... | |
| Is my preamp useless? Charles1dad,That "specific" situation that you mention is correct, at least in my experience. Below are the situations when I feel that a passive will not work:1. The source signal is very low2. The amplifier sensitivity is more than 1V for full o... | |
| Building a new room I have decided to go with whole house surge protection. This is for the rare case when surge comes to your lines externally. But it looks like most of the surges happen because of internal components like start-stop of machines, equipments, etc. B... | |
| Cullen Crossover Power Cables B_limo,Thank You for letting me know about Pangea. They seem pretty reasonable. I am not moving or have not moved.My current setup is in a room on the main floor. But since kids are growing, I don't want to bother them when they go to bed. So I am... | |
| Cullen Crossover Power Cables Has anyone compared these Vs the Cabledyne power cables? | |
| Need recommendations.. Solo acoustic guitar CDs Eva Cassidy's Simply Eva is guitar solo. Good recording, but very nice music, if you want to relax. | |
| Parasound halo JC2 what a joke Magnum44,My A21 does not get hot at all, even if I use them for 3-4 hours continuously. Can you list down your system. Are you sure everything is right in it?You just have 2 threads here and are not off on a good start. Your thread on AA mentioned... | |
| Cullen Crossover Power Cables Schubert,Did you replace the Pangea with Cullen? Can you share some experience?Thanks! |
