| Connecting a sub which way to go One other thing of which to be cognizant ... many subs have an input impedance of about 10K Ohms, yet many pre-amps have capacitors that cannot drive such a low impedance. So, depending on circumstances, you may want to replace the capacitors assi... | |

| Recommendation for input coupling caps +1 for Audyn. | |
| Connecting a sub which way to go I have tried it both ways. As I see it, running the sub from the preamp out while running the mains full range is the way to go. Why? Just think about this ... the internal crossover in a sub probably uses fairly mundane capacitors. The crossovers... | |
| Question About DACs Wow ... those are some really troubling measurements on the Yggy. Glad I didn’t pull the trigger on either the Gumby or the Bitfrost. I will continue my research. Thanks. | |
| Question About DACs Thanks for the excellent information, George. I'm debating between the Schiit Gumby Multibit and Bitfrost Multibit. Any preference between the two? | |
| Amp - preamp or integrated Monobloocks are fine, but can be more expensive and you need sufficient room for them. You may want to consider a dual mono amp instead ... essentially, it's two monoblocks in one chassis. | |
| Amp - preamp or integrated I prefer separates. I like the fact that each component is designed to do one specific thing. An integrated can generate crosstalk and/or noise between its sections. Also, if something goes wrong with the integrated, then the entire unit has to be... | |

| What responsibility does a seller have to tell a customer an item has been serviced? Used items typically are purchased on an "as is" basis. From a legal standpoint, there is no obligation for the seller to disclose; however, I think that members here should hold themselves to a higher standard given that we are an audio community... | |
| What responsibility does a seller have to tell a customer an item has been serviced? I think the seller in this instance had an obligation to disclose whether there was something wrong with the unit of which he was aware. Plainly, the seller here knew there was an issue with the piece since he had sent it in for service. Now, that... | |
| Mass Loading ... My Recent Experience @lowrider57 ... I am using Edensound terrastone platforms under all my gear, and have each platform sitting on rubber and cork sandwiched footers. You’re correct about the mass loading being component dependent. | |
| A tubed integrated amp for Joseph Audio Pulsars? I recently communicated with Jeff Joseph concerning my possible purchase of a tube power amp to drive my Pulsars. Jeff said that tube amps were fine for the Pulsars, but that he would recommend at least 60 wpc. | |
| Ayon's "Scorpio" tube imtegrated amp vs PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium tube integrated??. I have no skin in this game as I don’t own either a PL or an Ayon. However, I agree with the statement that one should determine how many of a particular unit are up for sale. Provided that the unit hasn’t been superseded by a successor model (in ... | |
