| Passive Preamps I second Tholt on the Promitheus TVCs. One more point I would like to add is that in case of TVC the amp's input sensitivity is VERY important. With a TVC, the input sensitivity of a power amp better be below 1.5V. With this n mind, there is absol... | |
| Rotel vs NAD James_lipski/Hieule5,When I mentioned NAD warmth, I meant it w.r.t. Rotel's cool character. When I auditioned Rotel, I felt they emphasized "treble" too much. For me, NAD is really neutral. | |
| promitheus refernce TVC suitable for X-LPS V8 gain Acuscott,The Denon with 2V will be fine. But I doubt about X-LPS with 350mV. The sensitivity of the Rotel (1.5V) is just about OK for a TVC. The higher the sensitivity (lower numbers) of an amp, the better it matches with TVC. Please check with Pr... | |
| Rotel vs NAD I don't have experience with the combos that you have mentioned. But I do have experience with similar priced integrated in both the brands. Both brands offer good value for money.NAD:Bit warmRelaxed and laid back soundRotel:On cooler sideBrings s... | |
| Preamp upgrade for NAD 320BEE IMO, I think the pre-amp section is not as good as the amp section in any NAD integrated.Hieule5, I completely agree with you on this | |
| Hi-Fi Tuning Fuse for NAD C352? Knownothing,Do you know where in the NAD amp are those fuses located? Does the AMC amp have similar layout as the NAD? | |
| Interconnects for NAD Electronics Celtic66,I would not say Silver will be bright - rather Silver will reveal any deficiencies in the system. Will also depend upon what speakers are being used in the system. | |
| Problem with Marantz SA-8260 Rapn3,Sharri's response to the original thread is correct one - especially based on the issues that Macdonj has mentioned. These problems are what gave the 8260 a bad reputation despite being a superb player.But Macdonj should still contact Marant... | |
| Preamp upgrade for NAD 320BEE David,You are EXACTLY in the same boat that I was on some months ago. And all I can suggest you is to get a Promitheus TVC. I am sure your NAD will sound much more better than the Exposure you are using. I am using a Reference C-Core version with ... | |
| Affordable Upgrade to Spelt Anti Cables? Been using Signal Cable Silver Resolutions for quite some time and am very happy. I had Nordost Flatline and Blue Heavens before. | |
| The Best CD player under $1000. Marantz basic SACD players - 8260, 8001, 8003, etc are absolutely amazing. I have used my 8260 for the past 4 years and luv it. I wish Marantz had included HDCD in this series of players. | |
| Monarchy se-100 delux mk2? I am interested in knowing this too. | |
| Why do speakers recommend amp wattage? Nice thread. I was also curious about the wattage.What is the importance of "current" in amperes? I have seen specs of amps with wattage but different current output. For eg. one amp had 200 Watts per channel and gave 60 amperes where as another g... | |
| NAD Integrated Comparison NADs are great amps. I did not do a direct comparisons of my grade and the higher up amps in the NAD line. But I understand from the ecoustics.com forum that the difference between my C352 and the higher end NAD was worth the price of admission. Y... | |
| Power Amp..opinions please Mechans,I have repeated this in other threads - I am not a "devout tube hater". It is just that I don't want the problems of tunes like biasing, heating, matching, etc. Don't have too much time on hand for those issues. If I go tubes, I will loose... |
