| Aleph-3 Questions david, ya mite wanna contact me about a conversation i had w/another mfr about the output impedence of the rogue 99. his feelings were that it would be hard to design a mu-follower-type preamp that *didn't* have an output impedence of 2k-2.4k ohms... | |
| Aleph-3 Questions rogue sez their 99 preamps' output impedence is 100 ohms, but this *can't* be correct, as my experiments w/crossing the outputs w/resistors indicates an output impedence in the 2k-2.4k range. fwiw... doug | |
| Red Rose Speakers (From Mark Levinson) nathanu, check out newform research r645's - not minimonitors, but the same price-range, they're ribbons above 1khz, and they're 91db/w/1m. their www: http://www.newformresearch.com/ amazing reviews: http://audioreview.com/reviews/Speaker/product_... | |
| Aleph-3 Questions hi david, not having directly heard this amp, i can't offer any direct experience, but i *do* have a couple comments - how efficient are your speakers? i know that the aleph 3 is supposed to be more powerful than its watts, but it is still only 25... | |
| JOB, BelCanto, Perpetual, MilleniumDACs? hi subaruguru, perhaps ewe should try a toobed preamp - mebbe that's the key to why tubegroover is having better luck w/the belcanto in his system. i know a toobed pre helped my system tremendously - much greater than upgrading my $500 nad cd chan... | |
| Resolution Audio CD-55..Past Threads... the cd-50 & cd-55 are wery nice cd players - only marginally better than the alchemist nexus cd player, which is ~half the price. and, the differences are noticeable *only* when run in *direct* comparison - both players run at the same time, i... | |
| Who R U? hi swampwalker, there are more & more preamps that offer dedicated h-t proccessor outputs - when ewe select this output, your main preamp defaults all its controls to the processor, so ewe can use the processor's volume control, etc, to run *a... | |
| Any advice on CD player upgrade? sorry, dunno why this dint print the last post - here's my experience regarding cd players: w/my ~$500 nad cd changer, my digital is far from state of the art. but, i a-b'd my nad w/a $1700 alchemist nexus cd player, on *my* system, and there was ... | |
| Any advice on CD player upgrade? hi outlier, shoulda taken my adwice & gotten a better preamp! ;~) see my previous comments about this from another thread (vinyl vs cd): <<<<<<>>>>> going to better preamps have made *big* improvements to all m... | |
| Tubed pre-amp for solid state amp? good idea-yust the ticket. but, i'm not sure about your price-point - may have to spend a bit more. i 1st tried the rogue 99 - great sound, but poor bass - i tink the impedance input of my x-over ( i run subs-n-sats) was too low, at 25kohms. your ... | |
| Want to upgrade my Sonic Frontiers Line2 i am partial to the melos music director - the best of tubes *and* solid-state. but, if ya like the s-f sound, why not a line-3? they're practically giving these things away now - retail $5k, for sale new from dealers for ~$2800... doug. ps - i ha... | |
| Monitors+Sub or Full Range Speakers??? kev, you are right - up to a point. you need an *excellent* crossover, usually not found on active subs, and you need two subs. that way, no tweeking, once it's set-up properly. my sub system consists of a pair of vmps larger subs, a marchand xm-9... | |
| Monitors+Sub or Full Range Speakers??? at $2k retail, go for the monitors - ewe can always get a sub set-up at a later date, as budget allows. too many compromises at this price point for either full-range *or* monitor + subs (need two for audio), if ya insist on paying retail. - *my* ... | |
| Attention Audio Veterans ya, joe b is right - yer tinkin' about the b&o. the maplenoll is the only one worth listening to, tho - imho. there's currently one being auctioned on ebay - *someone* will get themselves a *really* nice 'table. doug | |
| Vinyl vs. CD noise on vinyl must be a generational thing. sure, an album in really poor condition is annoying, but most vinyl noise is not at all irksome to me. (most of my vinyl is in decent shape, too). must be cuz i've been doing that vinyl-thing for over 3... |
