| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers Such comparisons are only valid if the level is equal within 0.2 dB. For that you really need a volt meter. | |
| Has Anyone Uesed A PrimaLuna Amp With Harbeth Speaker's Since you double posted you get two for the price of one: Just look at these Stereophile measurements: https://www.stereophile.com/content/primaluna-dialogue-premium-power-amplifier-measurements it has a pretty bad load dependent frequency respon... | |
| Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna? Just look at these Stereophile measurements: https://www.stereophile.com/content/primaluna-dialogue-premium-power-amplifier-measurements it has a pretty bad load dependent frequency response. You might as well buy yourself an equalizer. Moreover, ... | |
| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers No it is not a problem with the Yamaha but with human hearing. Louder will always sound better. Did anyone bother to look at the test results for 1 watt that I posted? Here, for data on an even cheaper Yamaha, the AS 500, the predecessor of the ... | |
| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers I don't know of any proper test of the Yamaha, but it may well be pretty good (and not mid-fi) if it compares to e.g. the Yamaha AS700 tested here: http://i.nextmedia.com.au/Assets/Yamaha_AS-700_Amplifier_Review_LoRes.pdfThe need for power largely... | |
| Newbie with some turntable, cable, pre-amp, and speaker questions. Enjoy your bubble. | |
| Newbie with some turntable, cable, pre-amp, and speaker questions. No I will not spare you Archimago’s measurements as an antidote to your ramblings. My own equipment: Quad 606-2 amplification, Quad 2805 electrostatic speakers, plus B&W PV1d subwoofer tamed by Antimode 8033. All of this in a large listening r... | |
| Newbie with some turntable, cable, pre-amp, and speaker questions. I was not joking about the Chromecast Audio (and I have a Linn Sondek/SME for comparison). See here for the CCA data at 16/44.1, using its own internal DAC:freq response: +0.06/-0.5 from 20-20K Hznoise dBA: -97.1THD: 0.0033%IMD+noise: 0.0050%Stere... | |

| Newbie with some turntable, cable, pre-amp, and speaker questions. I would agree with Roberjerman that even pretty basic digital gear beats expensive analogue sources. Vinyl, tape or FM are romantic nostalgia for connaisseurship at a hefty price. But indeed, enjoy the music. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? The point is that those who are critical are indeed not infrequently abused by calling them trolls, nay sayers, pseudo scientists, jealous, deaf, or impoverished owners of inadequate gear. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? There was no ugly personal attack, just social criticism of a kind that I think was quite apt. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? My +1 a few post above is unintelligeable now that the post I commented on has been removed. I do not understand why it was removed because it made perfect sense. | |
| Where do I start-amp or speakers ? Amplifier speaker integration is only hard if your speakers have a hard to drive impedance curve, and if your amplifier has a high output impedance. Avoid those two problems and there is no real issue unless you are a hypochondriac.If the budget i... | |
| What modern TV is compatible with analog amplifier? It is odd that many manufacturers try to keep the worlds of HT and audio separate, but so do many consumers with separate HT and stereo systems. In my own case my priority has always been the music, so I have used my high quality stereo system (Qu... |
