| Dynaudio focus 360 goodlistening64 Yes,I have the p6 with the exact 2. I will look into a phono pre-amp once I decide if I ’am going to keep the Mac pre-amp or not. I have been listening to 75% streaming as I don’t have much vinyl that is in good condition. Thanks | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 gano I didn't know anything until about damping factors or amp output current,until I was schooled on it here. From what I have been told it was the focus floor standing speakers that like a lot of current. I think Musical Fidelity slipped thru... | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 jeffbij Thanks Jeff, I have been listening for a least a couple hours a day since getting these speakers and the tidal streaming. I have to agree I should at least get a standalone phono preamp, A lot of Rega users don't really like there M... | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 jeffbij I have received so much great information,and I have taken notes trying to put in a logical format to have a practical check list. Well I know its a little late for that. I have looked at lot of the suggestions for amps given,and most... | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 mrdecibel I know you are probably correct in saying a this amp will show how noisy a old Mac can be. I called Conrad Johnson just to make sure I could get this serviced down the road,and I was pleasantly surprised. Someone picked up the phone o... | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 gano I almost forgot to ask you about damping factor. Could you give me a example of what mine is or what it should be? My speakers are 4 ohm and the output impedance of the Adcom is rated down to 4 ohms,as far as the resistance of my cables I ... | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 mrdecibel I can see your point,. I always wondered why on even expensive guitar amp's they never seem to put anything better than a run of the mill IEC power cord. | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 goodlistening64 I’am glad you made that point about the impedance. Yes ,I believe you when you say the impedance mis-match is probably not really the main problem. I do know that when I replaced my Adcom pre with the Mac,I loved what it did to... | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 kennyc 1,836 posts 05-12-2025 at 05:21pm ...right combination of power and current. Agree you're on the right track- ample availability of current needed for high energy bass Yes,when I explained to the gentlemen at dynaudio that the vocal... | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 ronboco 902 posts 05-12-2025 at 07:45pm @twangy57 How about some good class d Monoblocks? I believe I looked into them and I couldn’t find any with input impedance of 100koms or greater,which is what macintosh recommends for my mx100 tube ... | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 Yes,but he has a expensive speaker habit .lol | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 gano thanks for the link. I have watched him before. I think he did a review on the dynaudio special forties. | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 immatthewj 2,910 posts 05-11-2025 at 10:14pm OP, if I looked at the specs correctly of the amp you are using, they list 100 wpc into 8 ohms? And those speakers are listed as 4 ohm nominal impedance? Does your current amp have any specs liste... | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 gano Thank you,I will see if I can find the British Audiophile and see what he has to say. | |
| Dynaudio focus 360 unclewilbur Yes,that what I get from what I have read.150 into 4 ohm.s I think it only puts out 20 amps also,vs the Conrad Johnson’s 60. What effect would not enough currant have on a speaker that likes a lot of current? thanks |
