| I recently picked up the Yaqin MC-30L with the opt Based on the date of my original post I have had my Yaqin for about 18 months so far and have loved every minute of it. Now that I have both an SACD player and Maverick Audio Tube Magic D2 DAC (iTunes to Airport Express) as sources it's so easy to... | |
| Most enjoyable speaker you heard under $800?? I was actually blown away wight the sound of my active Audioengine A5+ speakers when they were hooked directly to my SACD player. The results are not nearly as great using the Apple Airport Express as the DAC, but that's what how they work best wh... | |
| Does anyone listen to Military Music? I have a great CD called Stand Ye Steady: Songs of Courage And Inspiration by the USMA Cadet Glee Club. I often listen to it on quiet evenings. I really enjoy the Via Dolorosa with Lea Salonga as the guest vocalist.I can understand the viewpoint o... | |
| Speaker Switch That Protects Tube Amplifier This sounds like a great alternate solution that someone else may choose to use. I have some of the parts in hand and almost everything else is in the mail. The only missing piece is some 10awg cable from Blue Jeans Cable as the stuff that we got ... | |
| Speaker Switch That Protects Tube Amplifier My current solution is to have two sets of cables at my speakers that I manually switch depending on the amplifier that I want to use. To this point the tube amplifier has always been shut off (though not always at room temperature) before disconn... | |
| Speaker Switch That Protects Tube Amplifier Almarq - I was hopeful that you would provide input as I value your opinion. The revised plan is to use the dummy load resistor (a parts express item) on both inputs and also put 150 ohm resistors on both inputs to make it a fail safe design for a... | |
| Speaker Switch That Protects Tube Amplifier Imhififan - Your responses and link to the other thread made me dig into things a bit more. Thank you.The revised plan is to use a heavy duty 4PDT toggle for each channel. The solid state receiver will be on/off, the tube amplifier will be off/on,... | |
| Integrated Amp Options for Stereo and HT I was going to suggest the Krell S-300i, but given your stated budget you might try the S-550i. I love the sound of the S-300i and would have one now if I had the cabinet space for it. I have never heard anything Krell that I didn't like. | |
| Speaker Switch That Protects Tube Amplifier Each channel will effectively have three parallel switched toggled by a single physical switch. | |
| Speaker Switch That Protects Tube Amplifier The plan is break before make with each channel on a switch. Should I be concerned with the tube amp not being loaded for a instant when the switch is toggled? | |
| Speaker Switch That Protects Tube Amplifier I had thought about the possibility of using relays, but I think I prefer the passive route. In any case, the parts are on order. Thanks for the idea. | |
| Speaker Switch That Protects Tube Amplifier I think we have the details worked out on the switch circuit. We'll be using an 8 Ohm 100W Non-Inductive Dummy Load Resistor from Part Express to load the tube amplifier when the speakers are switched to the receiver. I just need to measure the sp... | |
| Where to start I checked to see if your Sony SACD player in hopes that it would have a digital input and could be used as a DAC.I have a Pioneer Elite PD-D6-J SACD player and also a Maverick TubeMagic D2 (all available upgrades) DAC (both tube and solid state ou... | |
| Speaker Switch That Protects Tube Amplifier True. Just gathering as much info as I can. There is always more than one way to do things. | |
| Speaker Switch That Protects Tube Amplifier Can you describe the circuit layout you are thinking about? |
