| Klipschorn Imaging Have you tried the Onkyo by itself instead of using it as a preamp? There is always the possibility you have a bad match between the Onkyo and your amp. | |
| 4 Ohm Load You can try it, but don't get your hopes up. Receivers like your Pioneer were designed to work with very efficient 8 ohm speakers and with the right speaker they can sound quite good. I personally have not had good results trying to drive 4 ohm sp... | |
| Klipschorn Imaging There is no way 10' is too far apart for Klipshorns. Blueacara, Since your Klipschorns have a built-in toe angle it is important that you are sitting at the proper distance from the speakers. Try adjusting your listening position so the speakers a... | |
| Fuse values Tvad, It has been so long since I have had to replace a fuse I forgot some of the things you mentioned. Thanks for the refresher course. | |
| Matching preamp to amp Daveyf, Read your question again then read my response. The CAT has the same output as Audio Research preamps that matches your D-70. Actually the ARC SP-8 is a matching preamp for your D-70 and has a maximum output of 60 volts, but you won't be u... | |
| Matching preamp to amp You shouldn't have any problems driving the D-70 with the CAT. Maximum output on your CAT is more like 50 volts which is the same as preamps from Audio Research. | |

| Conrad Johnson PV-10 vs. PV-11 The PV11 is the better preamp and it cost almost twice as much as a PV10 new. New price for a PV10 was $995. New price for a PV11 was $1895. These preamps are about 20 years old now and may be due for service. | |
| Does SS cost more than HS for superior sound? Jim, I think state of the art sound is very expensive in either format. An audiophile friend recently purchased a well known tube integrated amp made in China that sells for a very reasonable price. He thought he was getting pretty good sound unti... | |
| amplifier power consumption Look on the back of your amp. | |
| Solid state preamp warm up time? I have owned solid state and hybrid preamps that take 3 days to sound their best. I would leave the preamp on 24/7 and turn off the amp. | |
| speaker width It doesn't matter where you measure from. | |
| Room treatment advice needed Before experimenting with room treatment I recommend you restore your speaker's tonal balance by removing the brass cones, granite slabs, cement blocks and blue tack. It is a good idea to research what cables were popular when your speaker was man... | |
