| Preamp for audio research ref110 Thank you all for the help. I think I will get an RCA to xlr converter until I get the real thing. Seems like these are available from pro-audio shops. Regarding the cart, I am using a simple shure m97xe | |
| Amp question for Maggies I drive my 20.1s with the Conrad Johnson MF2500 (better than Ice Power which I also own). Its also excellent VFM. | |
| KEF LS50 Need Help From your description of the sound you are looking for I recomend Vienna Acoustics. At the price range you mentioned you can get a pair of Mozart or used Bethoveen. | |
| Best Amp For Maggies 1.6 Tube Or SS I own both 3.6s and 20.1s, after playing with a few amps my preferred amp is the Conrad Johnson MF2500. I think their smaller MF2250 Would be a good match as well. At their going price they are true bargain. | |
| An interesting experiment Almarg,I completely agree with you. In fact when I thought of trying this, the effect you mentioned is exactly what I was looking for. clearly if one is looking of a high fidelity setup this is not the way to go. However, sometimes playing with th... | |
| An interesting experiment to be clear, the I have a 10K POT for volume control followed by a series resistor (also a pot so I can adjust it). After thinking about it I realized that I made a mistake when saying that the amp is rated for 10K. Since each module operates in f... | |
| An interesting experiment Yes, I am presently using a 10k passive pot for volume control (Incidentally I am using a Sescom mkp-25, which is only 50$). I also have at my disposal an ARC LS2 and the AI module 3a. But the pot arrangement sounds excellent to me. More like the ... | |
| Optimizing Digital Volume Control Audioengr, I agree that the input impedance of a power amp is probably slightly frequency dependent, and hopefully not amplitude dependent. So I agree that a low impedance source is a good idea. My point is only in regards to how low is good enoug... | |
| Optimizing Digital Volume Control Regarding preamp drive or DAC drive, the argument that the upstream component driving the amp should have a "low impedance with a lot of drive capability" while technically correct, in practice should be a non issue for any reasonable designed com... | |
| Optimizing Digital Volume Control Let me qualify my comments by stating that my conclusions are a combination of about 6 months of listening and many years of engineering studies. I listen mostly to classical music, so this may be coloring my assessment. My speakers are Magnepan 3... | |
| Optimizing Digital Volume Control Thank you. Just found the write up on this topic. Seems like they know what they are doing :-)BTW, this leads me to believe that a preamp is practically no longer required. The best reference preamps at best can match a good 2K DAC. So most likely... | |
| New tubes biasing problems Thank you all. I did move the tube to a different socket and the problem moved with the tube. And I did re install one of the old ones and it all worked well. So I am now going to order another matched pair. BTW, is it safe to operate with 3 new t... |
