| Preamp - 18 dB Gain too low? The source is Oppo BDP 103.The amp spec is confusing because the website and the manual state two different spec:Grant Fidelity website Output power: 25wResponse: 10Hz to 30KHzSNR: ≥85dBTHD: ≤1.0%Input sensitivity: ≤1.0VOutput impedance: 4Ω, 8ΩTub... | |
| Preamp - 18 dB Gain too low? Hi Dave,Thank for sharing the detail of your measurement. I swapped the active preamp CJ 18 dB gain with a passive Lightspeed Attenuator, and I found that most of CDs, I have to push the volume knob to 3 - 5 PM (MAX == 5 PM) to obtain the desirabl... | |
| Need advice - EL34 switchable Ultralinear/SEP Is it just me or shared with others - 12 output tubes seem to be too many for a stereo power amp. Tube cost is quite high and more things may go wrong. For Cary V12 owners and others who own amplifier with lot of tube (> 6), what are your exper... | |
| Need advice - EL34 switchable Ultralinear/SEP Wilsysnet - If I recall correctly one of the Agoner also mate Music Reference (RM-9 I think) with Lightspeed Attenuator with great result on his high sensitivity speakers. He passed away a few years back. | |
| 845 Tube Amps Goldprin Audio - do you carry Audio 845 tube amp? How much are we talking about? Please send your price list to me at my email address - username at gmail | |
| Preamp - 18 dB Gain too low? Thank you all. Sound like I have been worried out of nothing. Initially I hooked up the amps with a passive preamp Lightspeed Attenuator and the volume was low, dialing around 2:00 to 4:00 to have reasonable sound. Figured that active preamp would... | |
| Zu Druids compared to Tekton Lore Speakers I have Tekton Lore driven by Shuguang 845 monoblock rated at 28 Wpc. The bass response is very much like your description, not tight as I'd like to be. They can play low notes but a bit bloated, albeit output tube 845 is well know for good woofer/... | |
| Preamp - 18 dB Gain too low? My CJ preamp is inverted phase. I made a mistake but corrected. Frankly I could not tell the different between correct and incorrect phase. No volume gain or loss after correcting phase. Good call Montytx. | |
| Thoughts on 845 set monoblocks Anyone can comment of monoblock Shuguang S845 MK offered at Grant Fidelity? I just bought a pair blindly because the sale price is hard to resist. They are still burned in (up to 5 hours now). The sound is a bit digested at the mid range and the b... | |
| Amplifier for Tekton speakers I replace stock preamp tube with GE 5751 tube. The high edgy sound is gone and it is pleasurable to listen. Thanks Mikirob.I am tempting to make one big upgrade - 845 tube amp :)) | |
| Amplifier for Tekton speakers Sometimes I wonder for high sensitivity like Lore, tube or sss preamp has more sonic impact than the down stream amplification. | |
| Amplifier for Tekton speakers Zman - I read that you have Almarro A318B. Have you ever hooked it up with Tekton Lore? If so how does it sound? | |
| Amplifier for Tekton speakers I read somewhere said Tekton Lore are no cross-over design. Is it true? How can a 10" drive and a tweeter without a cross-over? This is intriguing. | |
| Amplifier for Tekton speakers Monster THX Ultra 600 interconnects between CD player Lexicon RT-10 and amp Almarro A205. The speaker cables are Acoustic Research 12-AWG (very generic) with banana connectors both ends. You have quite an impressive equipment list! | |
| Amplifier for Tekton speakers What you have described about harshness on the high and little lack of mid-range warm with the stock tubes are exactly what I experience with mine system. I will follow your recommendations, see if any Amperex EL84 availables... where did you get ... |
