| Marantz SC-7S2 solid state preamp- how good is it? The 7 years I spent with my pair of SC-7S2’s, yes I run then mono, the MA-9S2’s, and SA-7S1 mated to M/L CLX’s with 2 Decent i’s where great sonic times for me. Until I had an uninvited guest come calling well I was out. Would have gone into retir... | |
| which is better? Stereo Amp or Monoblocks? Mono is the answer, if I can remember the question. I have a pair of Accuphase A-70's. These are true 60W Stereo full Class A , doubling all the to 1 ohm amps. 480W at 1 ohm stereo, 960W at 2 ohm bridged.I almost bought the A-200 (100W mono) inste... | |
| Need a preamp with tone controls! The Accuphase Pre-amps are just the thing. I had the C-2850 which has not just bass/treble controls but also a loudness compensator. To this I also had the DG-58 Voicing Equalizer, these units go together like peas and carrots. Working as one this... | |
| Best way to set gain Tecknik forgot to ask if you had a Wenner soil-resistivity test done when you installed your isolated ground grid. No big deal if you are dead quite at present, but something to consider if noise creeps in later on. Just saying. | |
| Best way to set gain Hi tecknikI will check them out, never heard of them before. What a sheltered life I must be leading. I will get on page, thanks again for response. | |

| Best way to set gain Thanks tecknik this is about the same time as I have heard for the ESL 15As. Little confused by stating "turn off to let caps expand", seams to me turning off they would contract. Unless you meant to let them cycle, meaning expand and contract sev... | |
| Best way to set gain Thanks yogiboy guess the neighbors will be seeing and hearing less of me, how sad for them, and they will be hearing more of their Harmon & Cardboard LOL. | |
| Best way to set gain Yes would have thought more swing if you will, less constrained, more dynamic. Your thoughts on best way to break-in new system. Loud and hard or slow and easy. Still liked what tecknik had to say and I thank you yogiboy for your post. | |
| Best way to set gain Thank you for your response. I would have thought that setting the volume at noon or middle would be ideal. Being that my equipment is new and the type of volume control should I consider that the pre-amp's individual amps would take much longer t... |
