| Audio Research I/50 I am sure there IS tube break in, but it is not 600 hours. | |
| 100W+ solid-state amps known for beautiful mids You want to found Quad's house soundstage from another brand of amplifier. That kind of search is very difficult, and in my opinion ,might not the right way. You just upgrade from Quad's brand and you will get what you have. | |
| Audio Research I/50 600 hours is talking about the amplifier break in and it is the one time event. | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp So that's it. I will feedback when I receive and install the transformer in my system. I tried the direct RCA to xlr cable before, and I can hear the soundstage is not good. | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp @atmasphere You suggest to use transformer isolation and you deny the way to use it. What is your opinion? Audio Research reply directly that I should use transformer coupled to connect RCA pre with their XLR only power amplifier. | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp @atmasphere " The problem with this approach" Do you mean Transformer coupled approach? As far as I know transformer coupled way is to solve the ground loop. That's the reason we use the transformer isolation instead of RCA to XLR cable,right?... | |
| Audio Research I/50 Don't worry. They are on listening and I guess they will get the SE version pretty soon. | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp @ atmasphere Thanks! I put the order a few days ago and will receive very soon. So finally it goes down to the transformer isolation,it seems the usual way even the XLR output from the pre,they usually get the rca signal first and use th... | |
| Audio Research I/50 With my vt100 MK iii, we adjust the bias while the amplifier is connected. Why for I/50,it need disconnected and do adjustment? I do not know. | |
| Audio Research I/50 I get the reply from Audio Research regarding I/50, "Dear James Summary: The I50 is not auto bias. The tubes should rarely need to be biased on this product but if it needs to be checked, the unit needs to be disconnected, turned upside down ,an... | |
| Audio Research I/50 @mezzanine I have a question for you. If the power tube 6550 bias is very stable. Is that to say, the tube is ok for use and not even near the end of lifespan? | |
| Audio Research I/50 @mezzanine +1 We must have the ablity to bias by ourself or auto bias,it is bottom line. Otherwise,the Tube drift,especially for the new tube. How we can ask the technician mutli times for the same issue? I am asking this point to Audio resear... | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp @ atmasphere Are you talking the connection between RCA preamplifier and XLR power amplifier ? or the circuit inside the amplifier? I just want to have a solution between RCA pre and XLR power amp, it seems the transformer c... | |
| Integrated Amplifiers - Luxman vs Pass Labs @ddafoe fully agree! Pass is a very good SS amp compared with bunch of other amplifiers. It is really unfair to compare with tube one, as they are in 2 different leagues. You can not compare apple with orange. | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp @atmasphere " You don't need transformers, but without them supporting thebalanced starndard get a lot trickier. We devolopd a means that is direct-coupled and yet floats the same way that a transformer winding does" I want to know the de... |
