| McIntosh MC 30 with Wilson Max 2 You will get some output, but none that I would enjoy. YMMV | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? Well then, I too, emcdade, need to apologize as well, if in fact, this unit, as the one George found on Audiomart, is similar to the one you have. This " exact " Maestro model is not the one listed on their web site, so, a lot of confusion here. T... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? Another thing, emcdade, the last paragraph of your 1st post, you even state " how a passive preamp is doing this is a mystery to me ". You are obviously somehow confused. It is OK, we all get confused now and then. Except George. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? @emcdade...According to Perla Audio's web site of the new Maestro preamp : 3rd word, in the 1st sentence of it's description, it states " passive ". In the specification section, it states " gain = 0 ". So, I, too would like to see a link stating ... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? emcdade, I would also like to see the link where it says " active ". According to the web site, the 3rd word of the very 1st sentence, of the Perla preamp description, says " passive ", so, show me the moneyyyyyyyyyy. Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range johnkent3, YMMV. The important thing, is that you are enjoying the MX1000, as this is what it is all about. Always, MrD. | |
| Design a $60,000 Speaker - Start here Not to take away from Eric's thread, but completely related, imo. A question for Eric, and the rest of you. One of the best and significant speakers of all time, especially for the money, were the Dahlquist DQ10s. None of those drivers were costly... | |
| Who is using their DAC as a preamp? George, you are correct, my friend. He does state in the beginning, that his Perla is both active and passive. Once again, YOU THE MAN ! Enjoy ! MrD. | |
| Anyone heard Schiit's Aegir? Bstat, hey buddy. Have you actually heard the RP 600s, or are you going on all of the fabulous reviews ? I am a Klipsch guy, mostly the Heritage line. I have not heard them, but have a pair of earlier RB3s, maxed out by me, a few pair of maxed out... | |
| Anyone heard Schiit's Aegir? rockrider, please no offense, but I totally agree with George on this one, and I have heard your speakers and matching sub. Yes, they can show you amplifier differences, but the real nuances of music, not a reviewers pair of speakers. I also belie... | |
| Atma-Sphere, Ralph Karsten Do not own any of his gear, but I will say, based on his attendance and contributions here on the forums, I believe everything you say about him, and his company, to be exactly as you say. A true gentleman, with an amazing plethora of knowledge. E... | |
| New System for Pool Table Room I would mount a few " bipole " speakers on the walls to cover the length of the room. B & W, Klipsch, so many to choose from. Adding a sub, well, that could easily be located somewhere centered in the room, or, get a pair of subs. Start with t... | |
| New System for Pool Table Room The sound of pool balls is wonderful. Why mask it ? A boom box should do. Unless, you intend to spend much more time in this area listening to music. You have not made that clear, unless I do not know how to read. Just try to simulate a pool " bar... | |
| Speakers under $50k that rival $200k+ speakers? This question can be applied to any product category ( we are talking audio equipment, right ). In my journeys, and we are talking speakers, some expensive $ speakers fell short in living up to their capabilities, because of the inadequate room, a... | |
| Good starter amp recommendation My comment on the B&K ST 140, was stated by me " by todays standards ". Yes, I agree, back then it was a good amplifier, and especially for the price. But not today, and this, is ime, and, imo. Sorry to have hurt some feelings here. But even b... |
