| DC issues using a Krell KSA 150 w/ tubed preamp? I think the "working right" is the operative term. Tube failures are not uncommon. | |
| DC issues using a Krell KSA 150 w/ tubed preamp? I could be mistaken, but I thought that Krell discouraged tube pres with their amps, but in a nod to those that insisted, there was an internal switch on some of their amps to help protect them from tube DC. | |
| Is age bad for solid state amps? Once again Kijanki makes a good post. While most anything can ultimately fail, all but the very first transistors introduced many decades ago, have proven themsleves to be extremely sturdy devices. | |
| Is age bad for solid state amps? Nelson Pass re: the Pass Aleph O's:"...The amplifier does not need any maintenance. While the design in conservative, this is a hard running amplifier, as single ended Class A is the lease efficient operating mode. In fifteen years the electrolyti... | |
| i need 20 meter speaker wire, decent quality http://www.goertzaudio.com/contents/en-us/d14_Goertz_Audio_Store_MI_Ordering.htmlI can't make any promises, but I suspect you could negotiate a more favorable price by telephone. Keep in mind that the MI3 was developed at Krell's request, and they... | |
| Wyred 4 Sound and Thiels Another Thiel owner interested in the Wyred 4 Sound amps. For absolutely no good reason, I'm guessing these amps might sound better with Vandersteens. | |
| Tubed preamp with Krell KSA 150 amp? Sonic Frontiers? | |
| Compensating for different speaker cable lengths Depending on the cables you use, there is a chance that the different lengths might load the amp differently. | |
| Is age bad for solid state amps? Yes, but probably not a worry for the age of the amps your considering, and they usually can be refurbished, especially with an established brand like ARC. | |
| Upgrade with best price/performance ratio Q-Tips?:-) | |
| what impacts the sound quality more amp or pre-amp My memory could be failing me on all this, I could be mistaken, but if I recall correctly the B&K's ST series, had a rather low input impedance, and a low V input sensitivity for full output. Both of which can make matching a tube pre to a bit... | |
| what impacts the sound quality more amp or pre-amp Dvdgreco, if your looking for advise on the best bang for your buck system improvement, why not post your system? Be careful of advise touting personal technology preferences without considering your personal budget and system. | |
| what impacts the sound quality more amp or pre-amp It's about interface with the surrounding components. The pre needs to have enough of the right inputs and outputs, perhaps be able to handle your given cartridge(s), have an appropriate output/volume control and output impedance for the amp. The ... | |
| child-free environment? Children are different than adults. They are in the process of learning. They will make mistakes. They will test boundaries. Many children will not be diagnosed with developmental delays until after the age of two. Many children have died from pul... | |
| Thiel 3.6 to Eggleston Andras II At nearly 5 X the original list price, I wouldn't think there would be much of a comparison. |
