| Which stereo amp to try under $30k P.S. to my previous post: Regarding the second of the two questions I stated, it occurs to me that the explanation **might** be that when the Innamorata specs refer to "power consumption" what is being referred to is what I believe most engineers ... | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k Regarding the Innamorata II Level II, while my understanding is that it is certainly a very fine amplifier, and while the following may very well not be issues, I would suggest that if you speak with Jeff you ask him the following questions about ... | |
| tube pre-amp for active monitors George makes a good point about impedance compatibility. The description of your A200 speakers at the AirPulse site **seems** to imply that the balanced analog inputs are received by a Texas Instruments PCM1804 A/D converter chip. The datasheet fo... | |
| It's National "One Hit Wonder" Day! Rich, no, neither of those groups were one-hit wonders. The Duprees also did "My Own True Love" and "Have You Heard," among others. And The Crests, with Johnny Maestro, did "Step By Step," "The Angels Listened In," "Trouble In Paradise," and other... | |
| You've tried other amps and ended with Pass, please discuss Hi Erik,I am one of a number of members here who are happy owners of a Pass XA25. I use it with my Daedalus Ulysses speakers, which have an unusually flat and benign impedance curve, a 6 ohm nominal impedance, and 97.5 db/1 watt/1 meter efficie... | |
| It's National "One Hit Wonder" Day! Many thanks to Elizabeth for posting the link to the comprehensive list of one-hit wonders. Brings back a lot of memories.Although I'm mostly a classical music listener, I enjoy listening to a lot of those listed from the late 1950s and the 1960s... | |
| Using some very long balanced Subwoofer cables. Only one 75 foot cable will be used on each master to slave unit. Understood. But the 150 foot combined length of the two signal conductors in that one cable is what counts, in terms of resistance and loss of signal voltage.Enjoy! Best regard... | |
| Using some very long balanced Subwoofer cables. Hi Ozzy,16 gauge is more than adequate. In fact even 24 gauge, which is sometimes used in XLR cables, would be fine (although I suppose the presumably greater physical fragility of the narrower gauge could conceivably be an issue in your applic... | |
| Something For The Fuse Guys ... I have chosen not to participate in this thread because I've said all that I have to say on the subject in numerous fuse-related threads in the past.However I just want to state a point of information: Posts that have been made by at least thre... | |
| Using some very long balanced Subwoofer cables. I’m thinking no because the long interconnects will actually be connected to the JL sub slave output and is not directly connected to the Ayre. Excellent! The sub’s manual makes clear that the balanced pair of signals provided to its "output to s... | |
| Using some very long balanced Subwoofer cables. Hi Ozzy,You mentioned recently in the DEQX thread that you are now using an Ayre KX5 Twenty as your preamp. I see that that preamp provides two balanced outputs and one unbalanced output for each channel. It is very common for designs which provi... | |
| New to classical music In referring to his eclectic tastes I’m not sure the OP was implying that he is looking for selections within the classical genre that might be considered to be eclectic, as opposed to works that are often referred to as "warhorses." Rather I susp... | |
| Speaker Volume Your meter lies. Get a new one. Very few systems can do a real 105 db comfortably. I agree completely. And that is especially likely to be true in the case of a stand-mounted two-way two-driver speaker whose largest driver is 7 inches, as is the ... | |
| TRL WON'T GIVE ME MY AMP Now I just Googled Tube Research Labs and up pops a website that to me seems pretty suspect. The products referenced are mainly the older tube designs, none of the very popular solid state (Samson) or tube preamp (Dude) pieces. I really have to ... | |
| I need some techy help in order a preamp--resistor values. I can’t find any specs on the Elekit’s gain. I’ll email them. Power amp gains are often not specified, but they can be calculated from the specified maximum power capability and sensitivity numbers (assuming those numbers are reasonably accurate,... |
