| Impedance or sensitivity? josh358 is right. Just because the stated speaker impedance is listed at 4 ohms does not make it harder to drive then all 8 ohm speakers. The important thing to know is how much and widely the impedance varies. A 4 ohm speaker that never dips belo... | |
| Impedance or sensitivity? Depends on the amp. Please tell us if the amp you want will be tube or SS.Tube amps usually don't like low impedance speakers especially OTL amps. Impedance is hard, if not impossible, for tube amps to deal with when it gets lower. Tube amps can d... | |
| Is an amp the next upgrade path for me? Advice... Get a used Bel Canto 3i with built in dac. They come with usb or spdif inputs depending on what the owner wanted. I use one with a SB Touch and the sound is great. My 3i has the usb input and I performed the software hack found on the net to make ... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Does the LS improve with the battery option? Curious what you folks have found? Not sure why it would, but thought I would ask. | |
| TRL Dude or Joule 150 MKII for Major Pre Upgrade I really wanted to try a RM10 and asked about buying two in mono block form. It has now been 5 days and no answer. This scares me. Oh well, I bet it is an awesome amp based on many comments by owners.The Dude photo on the website is old and the ol... | |
| Tube amp decision - Thoughts I have been looking at your system and think you have some very nice components. I owned the very same speaker you have and found they like power and IMHO no tube amp of 50 to 70 watts will do. Sensitivity ratings on paper don't often tell the who... | |
| TRL Dude or Joule 150 MKII for Major Pre Upgrade Yes TRL has been building great gear for decades an my Dude has been flawless in sound and performance since day one! Both Dudes I have owned.Paul answers his phone and will always get back right away and help. I must say this is not true of all s... | |
| TRL Dude or Joule 150 MKII for Major Pre Upgrade I have owned Joule preamps in the past including the 100 MKlll. I like the Joule sound and he makes fine preamps for sure. I have not heard the 150 however. I know the Joule would be a nice improvement over your Rotel.I have owned the Dude for sev... | |
| Squeezbox Touch USB or SPDIF? Only because one can now use a better sounding USB dac with the SB. | |
| Need some help with an amp. My guess is the power supply caps need to be replaced. Bring it to a qualified repair facility and have the seller pay or at least split the cost. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Thanks George. I will not be able to measure it so will have to act on faith ! | |
| Squeezbox Touch USB or SPDIF? Easy to program to use the USB as an output and well worth it! It can be reversed easily so no risk. Step by step directions available on the net. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Thanks. Yes 10k is very high. As you saw the manual uses the term " load impedance". Oh well, seems my cd player is a potentially poor match. I will try it. Yes, mine is the TRL mod with battery power supply and all. Paul did remove all video outp... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I have a cd player with 2 volts of output, but the only spec I can find on Impedance reads " load impedance over 10 kilohms". Not sure if this is suggesting the output impedance is 10,000 ohms! Does not seem possible!?The unit is a Sony dvp ns900v... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I have a question regarding the relationship between a cd player's output impedance and the input impedance of the Lightspeed. I have read the cd or dac should have an output impedance of 200 ohms or lower. This seems to be needed even if all the ... |
