| Any of you own a classic Modern Stereo Console? KLH consoles. | |
| Output Impedance and Speaker Impedance Are you playing both set of loudspeakers at the same time in the same room? | |
| Any of you own a classic Modern Stereo Console? The weak link in classic early 60s console was the turntable. The loudspeakers were next. The best part were the electronics. Fisher and Pilot in particular had prized power amps, preamps and tuners. | |
| Most annoying post period For some people negativity works, but the truth is "negativity don't pull you through". | |
| Can a dac really be future proof? What makes you think newer chips sound better than older chips? | |
| Why discussions generate into personal affronts... It may take time, but after awhile you'll be able to self-select what threads to read by ignoring those where certain posters names repeatedly appear. When you master this trick you'll find that Audiogon is a peaceful place filled with well infor... | |
| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? Stop with the nonsense about technical imperfections! Both amplifiers measure quite well on traditional bench test protocols. They are both low noise and low distortion amps that meet their specifications. | |
| Final Retirement Amplifier-Class A-Upcoming Gryphon Essence Stereo vs Accuphase A75 Just curious, what do you mean by final amp? Are you talking about for the next 10 to 20 years, or more? | |
| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? Based upon the Stereophile measurement both the Ayre and Pass are low distortion amplifiers. Neither amp works well into low impedance loads. Their distortion fingerprints are different, but from the measurements it is doubtful a listener will h... | |
| Need Help! My Class A Amp Is Running Very Hot If you can hold your hand on it for 30 seconds, then it's not that hot. Still, it's best to talk to the manufacturer/distributor if it really concerns you. | |
| Quarantine/Vetting by Admin prior to allowing "Company Is Dead" Threads to go live Unless the OP can provide a weblink, a screenshot or an audiofile where the manufacturer or retailer clearly states they are closing down, then all such posts asking the question should be banned. They serve no real purpose.If you are having trou... | |
| How important is a preamp for purely digital sources? The knock against digital volume controls is no longer true. If properly implemented they will not strip bits or increase noise levels when utilized in appropriate setups. | |
| Would switching amps make a big difference? If you like the Martin-Logans with tube amplification, you might not like them with solid state. It might be more accurate, but it will be different than what you have now. If your room can handle them properly, get the Impression 11a loudspeake... | |
| Great musicians who should have been famous except.... Does anyone know anything about the drummer Gene Chrisman? He played out of Memphis as American Sound Studio's session drummer. | |
| Speaker wants 100 watt RMS. Is 40 watt tube OK? If the loudspeakers are 87db sensitive then the Manley amp at 40 wpc should be able to generate roughly 101dB at the listener position. If the average listening level is 80dB, which is loud, then there is 21dB of headroom. That's a lot of headro... |
