| Thiel 3.6's vs. Vandersteen 3 sigs Count to 10 and don't react:) | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? You would think the real market for George's attenuator would be in licensing to other manufacturers for use in other preamps and integrateds. Virgin works well for me, but a combo with buffering when needed seems like the next iteration. | |
| Thiel 3.6's vs. Vandersteen 3 sigs That is a good question (even though this is an old thread, the comparison might be perrenial)Stringreen. When I had a pair of 2Wq with 3A Sig - I could hardly tell the subwoofers were there, which is the sign of could matching between subwoofers ... | |
| Thiel 3.6's vs. Vandersteen 3 sigs are you responding to something said 4 years ago? | |
| Have I mismatched my preamp/amp? Now that is a nice way to settle into the holidays. Cheers! | |
| Have I mismatched my preamp/amp? Those are pretty amazing output impedances for any preamp, let alone a tube one, how does he do it? I enjoyed everything I ever owned by Quciksilver.I believe NP designed (but did not build - designed to a price point specificed by Adcom) the Adco... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Of course, the LSA Ultimate would allow for buffer switching :) | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Do let us know how the buffer works for you. It would seem if you don't need a buffer than a buffer will always be worse, and if you do need a buffer a buffer will always sound better - know if you do or not, there lies the rub. Let us know how yo... | |
| Have I mismatched my preamp/amp? There is nothing wrong with making and selling clones in accordance with a licensing agreement; misappropriating intellectual property and selling for a profit is worthy of criticism - as is theft in general. I'm not saying Rawson did this (I don'... | |
| TRL Dude Dilemna Seems you should always choose your amp to match your speakers first, then find a preamp that works with you amp - just can't imagine taking the approach of making an amp decision on the basis of a preamp - especially if you already have amps you ... | |
| Music Reference RM9 - user comments please I hear the sound of the wind coming from the west.....or is it the east? | |
| Music Reference RM9 - user comments please Well, I did end up selling the RM9SE and kept the RM10 MKII for the summer months. No question the RM9 is one of the finest tube amps there is, but the RM10 is a wonderful amp if 35 watts is enough power for you - among the best IMHO. Truth is, if... | |
| Have I mismatched my preamp/amp? This interview from Stereophile seems to suggest that perhaps Nelson Pass was somewhat inventive and unique - I don't think they give out patents absent that. Of course, he has done a bit of tinkering and experimenting since the interview with som... | |
| Yamaha A-S 1000 & 2000 --- How Good? You are right, but the hobby is about fixating on minuscule difference and diminishing returns - you are describing people with normal attitudes towards listening to music at home. I suspect if I had the Yamaha in front of me and a Luxman 590 and ... | |
| Have I mismatched my preamp/amp? Thought Pass was providing designs for the DIY community, not for commercial purposes (i.e., selling clones).If Pass' designs are text book, he must be using a different text book, his amps consistently sound better than most other test book SS amps. |
