| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! It is commending to see all the support for Prima Luna, but that has nothing to do with nor excuse anything about this situation. Also it is fair to say that there is no way that Kevin could have any knowledge that this would happen and would neve... | |
| Pioneer HPM-40 Vintage Speakers Pioneer made an HPM150 and an HPM200 also. I'm old, I sold these at the very end of their retail life cycle. The 40's were a bit more balanced than the 100's, but both could get edgy.... I've never measured the 40's, but the 100's were about 90d... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! Well, I appreciate Ralph chiming in with some reality. I also assumed an ESL and I do know that DC from any component hitting a DC coupled input can cause serious damage in speakers. I've seen it fry speakers more than once, but I had no idea of... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! Tough call on a tough situation, if I had purchased 2 preamps and within a few weeks, one went defective and damaged a very expensive pair of speakers, then the second unit did the same thing, I would also be beyond aggravated. I would expect the... | |
| PS Audio 200C X vs. 200Delta? I've had too many amps come through my hands over the past couple of years. I have a 200C now. Hence me looking around and finding this post. I haven't measured rail voltage, but I did check the caps. They all measure around 16,500 mfd each and... | |
| PS Audio 200C X vs. 200Delta? Not a problem Eric, I thought that you might not need it anymore, but it could answer for someone else at another time... by the way, I did not mention, If I remember correctly, I sold Delta 200's in my own store in 1991. | |
| PS Audio 200C X vs. 200Delta? Old Post 3+ years old and just ran across it. I knew the info, so I'm updating the post... The 200C/200Cx is the last amps that were put out under Paul McGowan's watch. He had Bob Odell do this amp. It is 200 to 8, 400 to 4 and 800 to 2 ohms, c... | |
| Why are tweeters so high off of the ground in many tower speakers... I needed to research your speakers before chiming in.... Well, these have 1st order slopes and the rolloff is very minimal. Unless you are fairly far away from your speakers, pointing them downward would slightly increase the frequencies of both... | |
| PREAMP technology shift? - Class A/ balanced/ dual-mono/ zero feedback vs. op-amp preamps Manufactures using op amps makes all the sense in the world to me. We all preach that the shorter the circuit path, the less involved, the better sounding....well really anything. As these micro parts improve, incredibly short signal paths of ... | |
| PassLabs 350.8 versus Ayre MXR Twenty On 8-4 of that same Long list of amp thread, he says that he sold the 350.8 | |
| Need a new amplifier. Need a good match for my Audio Research LS7 preamp it is getting old and tough to find, but a Muse One Hundred Sixty sounds like a perfect fit. | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? I think in General, Nelson is exactly right... when it comes to the traditional designs of A... A/B anyway. I look at an old Sumo or Gas Amp that Mike Bettinger mods. He changes caps & resistors to newest & best as well as switching a b... | |
| Current speaker threads are boring Hi Inna, I read your post that you were talking about "Truly Great Performing Speakers" not necessarily the mega buck stuff only... A thread that goes off of your lead, something like How much does the price have to do with Truly great, mid ... | |
| Incredible deal on incredible amp I mentioned a table earlier in the thread. it said that I had near 1000 views, Listed it twice, no one bought it. Put it on FleaBay and it sold in 4 hours. I hate the Fees, but its done. I have a preamp to list, I may try it here. | |
