| pre amp tubes and gain That's true, as the gain is pretty much set by the tube's design parameters. As tubes age though, they lose many other attributes that engage us musically. | |
| pre amp tubes and gain As you mentioned; tuning, tweaking and lowering the distortion levels in your system can also lead to enjoying more realistic(louder) SPLs. | |
| amp clipping or low freq causing pumping speakers If the amp or preamp were motorboating, as in the case of a power supply problem, it would not be restricting to phono playback. | |
| Biamping Dahlquist subwoofer No problem! Enjoy your music. | |
| Best choices for hookup wire? See page 2 of this catalog:(http://www.percyaudio.com/Catalog.pdf), for a variety. You didn't specify a gauge, but one of the Cardas chassis wires would probably yield the presentation you desire(I prefer Kimber). Also- use either WBT Silver Solde... | |
| Something Vintage A bottle of Dom Pérignon, vintage 1921 or 1928, adds much of the richness you mentioned to my listening(not very often though). | |
| Equipment between speakers... The bookcase idea would actually get you a bit more depth to your sound stage, by the diffusion of your system's back waves. It would also go far to eliminate slap echo/resonance nodes in the room. If you are using planars; equipment actually betw... | |
| Biamping Dahlquist subwoofer You should have set the NORMAL/BRIDGED mode switch to, "BRIDGED." See pages 3 & 4 of the operations manual(http://www.hafler.com/techsupport/pdf/P7000_amp_man.pdf) Rockford-Fosgate can fix your amp (http://www.hafler.com/techsupport/index.asp?... | |
| what to do............ Keep in mind that all of your speaker system drivers are brand new, and they need time to loosen up(break in). All of the suspensions are tight right now, and it takes more power to get them to respond to the signal you're feeding them. Be patient. | |
| amp clipping or low freq causing pumping speakers The problems addressed by the site in the previous post are probably the issue, but- a filter such as that is a crutch that will cripple a high-end system(transparency/ambience/harmonics/timbre loss). Much better to actually address things like ca... | |
| Solid state preamp warm up time? Leave ANY SS device on 24/7/365, unless you know you will be away for a few days, or there's a thunderstorm on it's way. A pure class A amp will draw some juice and throw some heat when quiescent, but any other class won't be an issue. You'll noti... | |
| Hafler 9505 power amps The Hafler 9505(http://www.hafler.com/products/hafler_products_details.asp?productID=3276&viewId=2) IS the Trans-Nova, and yes- they all have the DIAMOND driver stage and DIABLO circuitry(see pages 9 and 10 of manual, re: DIABLO): (http://www.... | |
| I need some amplifier help "There's no other way?" What he's doing is called, "vertical bi-amping"( http://www.caryaudio.com/articles/bi_amping.shtml ), the other method, "horizontal bi-amping."( http://www.roydaudio.com/articles/bi-amping-royds-passively/ ) Then, of course... | |
| I need some amplifier help Since both amps are rated 200wpc(though the II may have a slightly higher sensitivity); you should be able to get away with it by using the II as the bottom end amp. Having more power than a speaker is rated for is never a problem, as long as you ... | |
