| Tube AMP or SS In my experience watts may be watts, but the sound quite different coming out of a tube amp compared with SS - the may measure the same, and be the same in that sense, but they sound quite different driving speakers - an SS amp let's you know it i... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I think that might very well be the case with passives and SS, aside from impedance, you need tubes:) It might be one of the reasons that some, like Teajay a while back, may find the LSA less appealing than a nice tubed preamp matched with SS amp. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? You might enjoy your Placetter, and passives in general, much more with a tube amp - or what you are doing with the excellent Luxman amps - use a tube preamp that matches well with the lower impedances of SS amps. I love the sound of tubes, and I ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? The LSA will sound much more like the Placette than either will sound like a tube preamp. You should stick what you enjoy most. Are you using the Placette with an SS or tube amp? I could not, would not[?] use a passive with an SS amp for a variety... | |
| Tube AMP or SS I think MA is Monitor Audio. I have no idea if they have tube friendly impedances or not. As Unsound says, it is a matter of matching the amp to speaker and some work better with SS if they need current for low impedances. If your speaker is tube ... | |
| Does your system take you there or...? It wold be pretty horrible to have a Symphony Orchestra sound as if it were in my 18x13 room - in general I would think approaching the sound of the recording venue would be the goal. And every recording would approximate the sense of the differen... | |
| CAT JL-2 amp upgrade Tube gone bad blow your resistors? | |
| Yamaha A-S 1000 & 2000 --- How Good? Silver finish:) | |
| Decware - any substance here? You use the built in attenuator? No CSPS? | |
| Yamaha A-S 1000 & 2000 --- How Good? Encouraging! If it can compete with Mac, Sim, Parasound, and the great Aleph J (though a clone)- that would be pretty impressive given the build quality, appearance, and street price. Has anyone compared the 1000 versus 2000? Is it just fewer watt... | |
| Yamaha A-S 1000 & 2000 --- How Good? That is a very impressive array of integrated and very much in line with what I am looking to compare the Yamaha too. Could you say a bit more about the Yamaha versis the Mac - a 6600 is also an integrated I am considering, but the price is signif... | |
| Review: Yamaha A S-2000 Amplifier Forgot all about Marantz, though they may have the one most owned - loved that spinning dial control for the tuner. The number on receiver in the dorms were undoubtedly Technics with match TT. | |
| Review: Yamaha A S-2000 Amplifier Did you think Denon was a step above at the time? Seems those were the brands I wanted but could not afford - maybe Sansui too. Mac was for Dad. | |
| Yamaha A-S 1000 & 2000 --- How Good? Yuk. I was hoping..... | |
| Review: Yamaha A S-2000 Amplifier Has some one had a chance to listen to the Yamaha versus gear from Accuphase, Luxman, McIntosh (or smaller integrateds from LFD, Lavardin, etc.) and other top flight integrated SS contenders. I expect it would be a very solid vale, especially at s... |
