i have spoken with Dan Way back when 1988 we hit it off hung out a few times got together at the Listing Room Scarsdale NY & at his Factory in Orange CT Solid State is what he is very good at & had no interest in tubes even its its just output stage I too have tried to Mix & match my Krell Amps With AR tube preamp and a few other big name tube preamps as far as i am concerned it just does not match up i will keep my KRELL Amp & pre amp anytime over tube I do love VAC tube Equipment but then comes the tube insanity of rolling tubes & it just never stops it s one or the other i am all in Solid state M L , J R , Krell will do just fine good night

So why do ohms ratios increase from source to pre and then to amp and then to speaker.Output should be low, so they can drive unimpeded into high impedance. Imagine a traffic jam caused by 10 lanes coming into 1, that’s like a high output impedance looking at a lower input impedance, 10:1 not good. You want the opposite. 1:10 Cheers George |
Love analogy. I am not tu smart, pictures make it easy. so driving uphill toward higher impedance is good. Speakers are on hilltop and source is at bottom of hill like a high altitude with lower air resistance, ie. why jets fly high in air. Signal path gets alot easier thru all the circuitry and cabling as it flows toward speakers. |
like a high altitude with lower air resistance, ie. why jets fly high in air. By jove, me thinks he’s got it👍 Imagine 4 lanes of traffic now going into 40 lanes, yahoo time to put the foot down!! https://ibb.co/r7GfcJ2 Cheers George |
I’ve heard the d’Agostino different times with the Sonus Faber speakers : not my stuff: there’s no emotion in the music , very “flat’. ( sorry for the lovers…) detail and placement are okay, but very expansive for what it is : much beter are Ear Yoshino , VAC , Wavac. , …here you can find emotion : you are “one” with the music ( you experience ). You don’t have that with d’Agostino… |
