Responses from unsound
| an amp without "electronic" sound The Pass amps have a reputation for lacking an electronic/mechanical sound. | |
| Is two Subs better than One? I would prefer two. | |
| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps I'm not a believer in the blanket statement that lower powered amps always sound better. In my experience amps should be reviewed case by case. While I have heard some lines of amps where a lower powered one sounded better to my ears, I have also ... | |
| How am I frying all my amps? Oscillating? Help The networks keep wide bandwidth amplifiers from oscillating. | |
| How am I frying all my amps? Oscillating? Help The Alpha-Core Goertz speaker cables shouldn't cause problems with most amplifiers, but I strongly suggest the use of the Alpha-Core RC networks or similar zobel networks to be sure! | |
| How am I frying all my amps? Oscillating? Help If the Goertz Alpha-Core RC networks were damaged it might explain the oscillating on some amps, but that the oscillating also happened with the Krell amps which don't require the RC networks, leads me to believe the problem is elsewhere. | |
| How do autotransformers affect sound? I would imagine that most high quality ss amps can maintain Class A operation into higher impedance speakers longer than into lower impedance speakers. I am not convinced that higher impedance speakers including those that have are sensitive enoug... | |
| High-current tube amps I think you might be looking for something like the Wolcott amps. | |
| TVC preamps: good or bad? I'm curious and a bit confused about these as well. On the one hand these transformer based units seem to offer much the bonuses of passives, without the impedance issues of passives. On then other hand, some tube manufacturers are willing to deal... | |
| Give up on Thiel 3.6 or try another amp again ? I still believe, your better off knowing your budget, your room, and choosing speakers before your amp. | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones If you can percieve an improvement, of say about 45 X that of the .85 cent ones, then the $39.00 fuses might be worth it. | |
| Give up on Thiel 3.6 or try another amp again ? Thiel hasn't offered dual sets of cable inputs since the CS 3's, well over 20 years ago. The 3.6's are amongst the most demanding of Thiel's speakers to drive. While there are some less expensive amps that can do the job, one needs a real high qua... | |
| Give up on Thiel 3.6 or try another amp again ? If you like floorstanders like the Thiels, really want to keep your current amps and with your current room, perhaps you might want to consider some Meadowlarks speakers. Of course they're out of business, so you'll give up Thiel's legendary custo... | |
| Dunlavy SC VI? Enjoy! I don't have a manual, but I do have some print outs from the old Dunalvy web site. If you stop shouting, I'd be happy to answer any questions that might be answered based upon that information. The information is pretty detailed, especiall... | |
| Digital crossovers? You might want to look into the TacT gear. |
