Wadia Inuition (Class D amp) connect with subwoofer
Hello Spacelab,     SVS is correct and I'm certain that I'm correct.  You won't have any issues.     BTW, I like your Wadia integrated and read a few very good reviews on its performance.  Most of them mention that performance is improved signific... 
Wadia Inuition (Class D amp) connect with subwoofer
spacelab4:" It is not a problem in the load, the problem can arise if the minus of the speaker socket on the Wadija if is not a real minus but an active inverted output that D clas can have. Subs on loudspeaker level inputs generally have a minus... 
Warm, rich but detailed SS preamp (made you give up tubes)
Hello hilde45,     Or, use better quality recordings, right?Tim 
Wadia Inuition (Class D amp) connect with subwoofer
Hello spacelab4,     Yes, you can connect the SVS SB-1000 sub to your Wadia Intuition integrated amp via the high level speaker connectors.       The only issue I noticed is that your Wadia uses banana plugs to connect to its speaker outputs. T... 
Warm, rich but detailed SS preamp (made you give up tubes)
     In my previous post on 1/25/21,I stated: "Some tube preamp brands, such as Acoustic Research, seem to be more devoted to a more neutral presentation lately than others".     I meant to state Audio Research, and not Acoustic Research, has seem... 
Warm, rich but detailed SS preamp (made you give up tubes)
Hello smodtactical,     Hilde45 is, of course, correct in stating there are no dangers of tubed preamps 'blowing up'.  That's just outright false and misinformation.  I've used both ss and tube preamps in my systems and, if you're wanting a presen... 
Differential Balanced Sound Quality
     My preamp, amps and universal disc player offer both balanced and unbalanced connections.  I use balanced/xlr cables for all connections since they are objectively more secure and I subjectively perceive them as quieter and a heck of a lot co... 
Anyone try stuffing their ports?
Hello rockadanny,     The relevant question you need to ask yourself is whether or not you want your Eggleston Works Fontaine speakers to produce less bass with less bass extension?       The speaker designer decided to incorporate dual ports in y... 
High end Class D amps?
     I can't help respecting and admiring douglas_schroeder's intelligent approach of reserving final judgement on class D and atmapshere's intelligence, experience, knowledge and strange preoccupation with the upper knees of Sigmoid curves.      ... 
Warm, rich but detailed SS preamp (made you give up tubes)
     The reason I bought a used Mark Levinson 326S is due to its ability to create the most realistic 3D soundstage illusion I've ever experienced through a ss preamp.  Spatiality up the ying yang.  Its ability to present properly sized,well detai...

My system is ... well, not ready
Erik:" Mike's suggestions are quite reasonable. I think his entire room treatment runs around $2,500. About the price of a really decent DAC."Hello Erik,     Is Mike's last name from GIK Majors?  If so, he's the same GIK rep who helped me with ... 
Why do people care what their speaker wants?
Hah!       Hey, if you get liquored up, get a bit randy and consummate your relationship with your young and pretty ported speakers, I believe it would be called a speaker hookup.....with a very small gauge connector.  Ka-boom.     And remember, d... 
Why do people care what their speaker wants?
     If the speakers aren't ported, it's not so bad. At least you won't get any unexpected mini-monitors running around.Later, Tim 
Office streaming solution?
