| Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp? the whole point of high end audio is trying to eliminate the weakest link. I disagree. I believe the whole point is to optimize the synergy among your components & room to best connect you to the music and stir your soul. | |
| Line Magnetic 845 Premium or Pass Labs INT-60? @tvad Unsurprisingly I had the same initial take as you...the Pass is the safer bet but it’s possible for the LM845 offer something different that could be nice depending on the speaker impedance. (8 ohms or higher). I’ve read a reviewer who reall... | |
| Line Magnetic 845 Premium or Pass Labs INT-60? What's the nominal impedance of your speakers? | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? This is just recreational arguing at this point. Both sides aren't without merit and nothing will get decided. So what's the point? | |
| New Klipsch Forte III’s @redwoodaudio Interesting. I have to say, I'm using a tube amp with my Forte III's and I can't completely rule out that the less-than-optimal bass is due to the tubes/transformers which may be challenged. In any event, the HSU completely filled n... | |
| VPI Classic Setup By Brian Walsh @bpwalsh Very helpful....thanks. | |
| SuperBestAudioFriends Does your application need to be notarized at the Hall of Audio Justice? | |
| Luxman E-250 or Sutherland 20/20, or something else? @bfoura Congrats on the Herron. Are you planning to continue using the Cadenza Ortofon Black? I have a VTPH-2A and wouldn’t recommend going any lower in output than the 0.3mV your cart is spec’d at. Let us know how it sounds! | |
| New Klipsch Forte III’s I have a pair of Forte III's in a 2nd system and I agree, the Forte III's don't produce enough bass as they only go down to 38Hz. I added a HSU ULS-15MK2 sub and the sound is perfect, filling in that low foundation and improving every aspect of t... | |
| VPI Classic Setup By Brian Walsh @bpwalsh Hi Brian. I’m just curious if there are any recurring setting "themes" that you notice where customers come up short. For instance is azimuth rarely set up close to optimal? My guess is that you’ll say it tends to be the cumulative effect... | |
| Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp? Speaker amp problems are speaker problems. Trying to solve the problem of a hard to drive speaker with an amp is a fool’s errand. That is nonsense and plain naive. There is more to sound than whether there are "problems" associated with easy or h... | |
| Point of higher priced streamer? @ironlung I for one am enjoying your posts and learning quite a bit. Thank you. | |
| Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp? @riley804 preamp . what good does it do to get a good amp if you are going to put a crappy preamp ahead of it ? And you can easily make the counterargument that a great preamp doesn't help if your amp is a total mismatch with your speakers. ... | |
| Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp? I think you're sorta asking the wrong question, so I will spin it differently. For sound quality impact it's best to find an amp that has the best synergy with your speakers - so I'd focus squarely on the amp over the preamp but not just any outs... | |
| For the Audiophile with a taste for good design(looks)....a question. If my room looked like a science lab in front of me, even with a million dollar system in it, I would have very little enjoyment. But what if it looked like a science experiment accompanied by a backdrop created with cheap, red, pealing wallpap... |
