| Faster alternative to the ASR Emitter? I don't own an ASR and I have no experience with Burson opamps.What I do have direct experience with is: - I generally have preferred discrete output stages to opamps. So if I were game for rolling opamps, I would certainly consider what Burson, D... | |
| Faster alternative to the ASR Emitter? It does not seem credible that one would add a ground wire without recalling the reason for doing so. As Casouza is a self-professed 15 year compulsive tweaker, I might venture that there was in fact no verifiable reason to have done so. | |
| Are Nakamichi amps any good? Well, that's 2 techs who say the Nakamichi amps had reliability problems. Whether that's touchy protection circuits or bad bridge rectifiers, minor or otherwise. I think it's safe to say that TonyKay is wrong and that Nakamichi amplifiers (regardl... | |
| Faster alternative to the ASR Emitter? Swapping opamps is only slightly more challenging than changing fuses. | |
| Are Wolfson DACs considered Yes, that seems to be the prevailing view. | |
| Not ENOUGH GAIN > My amp(Decware Torii 3) and preamp > (Artemis LA-1) both have a volume > control. Do I want the pre up as much > as possible and then phase in the amp? I think the correct answer is: whichever way sounds better. But if I were in your... | |
| Not ENOUGH GAIN I've had a Grounded Grid before, with 101 db efficient speakers. The volume knob was at about 9 o'clock. With 87 db efficient speakers, is 1 o'clock reasonable? Seems like it might be ... | |
| integrated help please I've never heard a Modwright I didn't like, so yes, I'd put it on the short list. | |
| Not ENOUGH GAIN > And to answer clio09 I have not tried it all the > way to full open yet.So ... you can turn it to 8, 9, 10, 11, etc and presumably play louder and you haven't? If you want it to play louder, turn it up. There's nothing special about 7. And... | |
| Not ENOUGH GAIN Why does it matter if the volume knob is set at 7? 7 is completely arbitrary.Assuming your source has a fairly normal output voltage, your preamp should have plenty of gain to drive your amplifier to full power.The real question is, at maximum vol... | |
| Mapletree Audio versus Decware preamps I can't quite remember. There was a little while there where I went through a number of preamps pretty quickly. I believe the Grounded Grid followed the Mapletree immediately, so they were likely paired with the same amplifier, but I don't remembe... | |
| Mapletree Audio versus Decware preamps Having had both the Mapletree and the Transcendent Grounded Grid, I believe the Grounded Grid is the superior preamp. | |
| LFD NCSE or Cronus Magnum I haven't heard the Rogue, but the Cronus is a push pull EL-34 based amplifier and if it sounds like other EL-34 based amplifiers, then it's characteristically big, beautiful and warm.The LFD is a solid state integrated which does an admirable job... | |
