| My Amp is Broken - Not Sure What to Do - Any Recommendations? Do you guys think it would alter the sound to replace the 3281D and 1302D Thermal Trak transistors with NJL3281DG (NPN) NJL1302DG (PNP) Thermal Trak transistors, and do you think the work to match the output devices would be difficult or highly in... | |
| My Amp is Broken - Not Sure What to Do - Any Recommendations? Hey all,Thank you for the replies and helpful advice. The fellow I spoke with at Audio Research told me the Thermal Trak transistors currently offered by OnSemi are a new version of the ones used in my SD135. He said that unfortunately they are no... | |
| Please Recommend a Low Gain Solid State Amp ARC I ended up purchasing the ARC SD135 amplifier that was for sale here. I received it today via UPS. I installed it in my system after work, and I have been listening to it these last few hours. The first thing I noticed when I cued up a 1970s UK pr... | |
| Please Recommend a Low Gain Solid State Amp ARC Yep, I think their preamps were designed with phono and tape in mind, esp. the SP10. I was told that the service tech removed a resistor on the bottom of the board, and they left it hanging so I can re-solder it if I should want full gain again. | |
| Please Recommend a Low Gain Solid State Amp ARC I had ARC reduce the gain on my SP8 a couple months ago. I was told by the service manager that they do lots of gain reductions on SP8's and their other older preamps. ARC said that reducin gain might lead to a slight loss of transparency, but tha... | |
| Please Recommend a Low Gain Solid State Amp ARC Hi Guys,Thank you for your help. I am using a Marantz SA8001 for my source. I believe its analog output level is 2.3V RMS. Marakanetz,Why do you think lowering the gain of the SP8 is a bad idea? | |
| Please Recommend a Low Gain Solid State Amp ARC Thank you for your help. Steve, I do really enjoy the DNA-125. It is a wonderful amplifier, and I can see why people often partner it with Vandersteen speakers.Is anyone here familiar with the ARC SD135? According to Kalvin at ARC, it has about 16... | |
| Amp preamp impedance matching...can anyone explain? Does the voltage gain play into this at all? The amplifier I am using is a McCormack DNA-125, which has 30db of gain. Its input impedance is 100 kOhms. I am using an Audio Research SP8 MkII preamplifier with it which has an output impedence of 1,0... | |
| Any Integrated Amps w/Phono & 100-200 Watts Power? Hi guys,Thanks for your help. I am now trying to find an MA6800 or MA6400. Anyone know where I can find one? |
