| What's your "diminishing returns" preamp choice? Very good recommendations above but some say that the preamp colors the sound. But how do we know that the power amp don't color the sound as well since the signal has to go through different circuits there. | |
| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? rickytickytwo, did you ever find a power amp that could drive the Kappas? I would think that some of the Class D amps might qualify. | |
| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? denverfred, some of the B&K receivers were problematic and were worth walking away from. But their two-channel gear is built well with little problems if any. You would want to be careful with some of their older amps because their mosfet outp... | |
| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? My costliest mistake was not stopping while I was ahead and thinking by turning over gear to try I could go back and re-buy the pieces I liked the most! Wrong! Not so easily done any more. | |
| Why are there so many wooden speakers? Yea, finally got rid of my wooden cabinets and now hang raw drivers from the ceiling , less confining and the sound is much more open. LOL | |
| TAD M2500 amp - Power Cord warning I think I missed the point here, if you are handy enough to install an IEC chassis inlet receptacle to accept any three prong power cord on your amp would be a solution, but you would have to enlarge the hole to accept it and may be worth it in th... | |
| TAD M2500 amp - Power Cord warning I would think that you can use any power cord you want that has a three prong power cord as long as the ground prong is removable or you can use a cheater plug which allows you to go from three prong to two prong. | |
| AV Receiver w/ amplifier Or you could buy more sensitive speakers like a used pair of Klipsch speakers as they will play louder with less watts (volume), putting a lot less demand on the amp. | |
| My #@%$ Cat Destroyed My ARC REF 5SE. Soliciting Suggestions. There is nothing worse then cat pee for smell and the damage it can cause. I much prefer dog pee if I had to choose between the two. I can imagine how devastated you were when you discovered this problem. There is a silver lining in every dark clo... | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... Andy2, my deepest apologies, I got it wrong and I was in error, I feel bad! I now see that your not trolling any one, you never did! You are one of the good guys and an asset to this community This is what I have to say:djones51, it is you that i... | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... djones51, I don't need to provide measurements or scientific data on how a power cord improves sound quality, after all we have you and others to cover that subject matter very nicely in the above posts, if people want to know more they can look i... | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... Andy21 it is you that is trolling!, there is nothing in my original post that suggest that I've deliberately provoked anyone but you have in your last post. Get a life!! | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... djones51, please reread my post, I never said that power cords and the impact they have on our systems can not be measured. Rather I'm not concerned with measurements, only with the way they sound in my system. | |
| ... abit confused: how does a power cord affect the presentation of sound... We can leave the scientific measurements to the experts but what we do know is that power cords can and do have a big impact on sound whether it's negative or positive Sometimes with power cord experimentation you can come up with a most positive ... | |
| High Powered Holographic Amplifiers dprazze, remember the op mentioned that his speakers are power hungry and is looking for a more powerful ss amp but it would have to come close to the sound quality of his AR tube amp. |
