| First Watt J2 Has anyone driven their efficient speakers pretty loud with the j2? I've tried small watt tube amps (6 watts per channel) and things petered out even with my ZU Omen Defs when turning up a ways (not surprising). I'm not talking "head banging loud"... | |
| New Tortuga passive/active tube pre looks like a winner Thanks for info. Everyone will be looking forward to hearing the unit and reading reviews. | |
| Low heat alternative to FIRSTWATT J2 ? I know ventilation all around an amp is desired. If one has an open back and side rack space (like this https://www.audioadvisor.com/mobile/prodinfo.asp?number=PGVULRK&variation=EC&gclid=EAIaIQobC...)would one be fine running the amp on th... | |
| Prima Luna Prologue Preamp What pre did you have before? | |
| This new McIntosh integrated looks like a winner The MA 352 has an overall gain of 44db. If I’m not mistaken the gain on the 252 is 40db. The 352 is a bit too high for my efficient speakers. I would be cutting it close with the 252. Since I already have a tube pre ( gain of 10db), I could do the... | |
| Can someone figure out the gain of this amp? Over the last few months, I have moved my listening room to another area and have added room treatments, etc. My sitting position is a little further back than previous room (listening triangle). Anyway, today I decided to remove the SYS passive p... | |
| Can someone figure out the gain of this amp? I was actually looking at the Hattors at one time | |
| Can someone figure out the gain of this amp? Ahhh. So since I have to use a passive pre ( between pre and amp) to lower the gain (super high tube hiss) with my system now( Zu Omen def speakers), I’m looking at super high hiss with the Mac but without a way to lower the gain. That changes thi... | |
| Can someone figure out the gain of this amp? Thanks Al, so to get a comparable gain of my current system, I should add the gain of my BHK Pre ( not certain gain) and my Nuforce STA200 ( which has 34.5 dB if gain)? | |
| This new McIntosh integrated looks like a winner It's new. I believe dealers are now taking orders. I think it's making its big debut at RMAF and shipping late September. The lower level MA252 got good reviews. I'm hoping this one sounds even better.I would actually consider selling my current P... | |
| All in One Integrated Amp or dac streamer plus amp - around 5k to 6k USD https://www.mcintoshlabs.com/products/new-products/MA352 | |
| New McIntosh MA252 I'm looking at this amp as I'm thinking of reconfiguring my audio listening room. I have ZU omen Defs. I've been going back and forth on various forums about amps to go with my PS Audio BHK preamp. I was considering a hybrid BHK250. Benchmark AHB2... | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I did hear a Yamaha Pro (MX series?) amp in a home theatre system a few years back and it sounded fine. | |
| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? I’ve always been intrigued by the Benchmark amp | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? One issue with class D that is not from a major brand would be resale value. I’ll never be the one to say I have purchased my final amp. |
