| bridging an amp Besides all that has been said from above, this is an fyi, and my opinion. These two Mc amps are superior in sq than other Mc amps ( I have owned them both, and really liked the 7300 ), as they do not use the Autoformers. They happen to be differe... | |
| Passive preamp issues or? The high gain and low input sensitivity of the Nuforce STA200 will allow it to amplify any noise in the system preceding it ( including ac noise ). I cannot use the amp ( amps, as I own 2 ) satisfactorily with a few preamps I have lying around, as... | |
| SRV! SRV's playing will live on forever.. | |
| Pre to meet 2021 goals Btw, we ARE listening to recorded music, so the merry go round is still all about personal preference, and nothing more. | |
| Pre to meet 2021 goals Benchmark......I heard it and was floored at it's neautrality, especially for it's price. | |
| Passive preamp issues or? Very familiar with the Nuforce and the Axiom Walker unit. As good as the passive unit is ( and I find it to be excellent ), the less in the signal path ( 1 less volume control, 1 less set of ics, etc. ), generally the better. The STA 200 is very e... | |
| Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp ) @atmasphere As I said, I am nowhere as smart as you, and if I am wrong, which seems to be the case here, I am wrong, and I thank you for all of the tech stuff you teach me, and many others here. I obviously made assumptions, and you know what that... | |
| What is the Best Amp.... to Mate With the Townshend Allegri Preamp? It is a fine unit, but not for everybody ( passive in general, whether TVC or not ). Look at my recent thread on the Luminous Audio unit I own..........some interesting stuff by me, and a few others. | |
| Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp ) BTW...some of the cable brands we listened to were Audioquest, Cardas, Silnote, Kimber, Transparent, WyWires, Shunyata, Belden ( home made ), and the Benchmark cables. | |
| Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp ) @atmasphere I will never claim to be as smart as you, but I am sure betting my hearing is as good as yours, and I will leave it at that. Although this thread was about passive vs active, you are making it about single ended, balanced, and balanced... | |
| Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp ) @atmasphere I know you are big on balanced, as this is so very obvious. I AM familiar with balanced systems, for a very long time. As I mentioned recently, I spent some time with the recent Benchmark gear, where we did a shootout with several bran... | |
| Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp ) I have listened to passive units with transformers and find them to be round and colorful, meaning they are warm and the frequency extremes seem rolled of. They are not as detailed to me. Being familiar with pro gear and balanced lines, I still su... | |
| Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp ) I have gotten a few private emails concerning the Luminous passive products, and passive, as a whole. I wanted to update this thread, as to create more interest, and truth, as to passive driven systems. There is no question, that extra gain can gi... | |
| KLIPSCH CORNWALL a special design cornwall Will. Please dont cry... I cannot handle it. Lol. I owned a few pair of CWs and 1 pair in fact had vertcally mounted mid and tweet horns.....and they were mirror imaged. You could have used the vertical arrays on the inside or the outside. It was ... | |
