| Class D amplifier with TPA 3250 board You could experiment with something like this (inline attenuators) This works in most cases, unless your custom designed amp is just crazy noisy or has way more gain than the average amp. I have 9 tube amps, all are dead quiet. | |
| After the thrill is gone Best way to avoid buyer's remorse is to move up in a big way don't make a side-step or small improvement, make a huge jump. | |
| Best Value/Performance In An SACD Player For $2k, Or Less, Used? My old dealer would not sell used laser players. Can't be sure the laser would last. I know I had a used Elite player I got cheap, but I only got a couple of years out of it. | |
| Rogue Pharoah II I've played with a lot of Maggies and I never had good luck with tube amps, Although the 3.6s sounded really good with a couple of McIntosh 300-watt tube mono-blocks. I had tube amps on my .7s and that didn't work out either. The Maggies need deep... | |
| Class D amplifier with TPA 3250 board They rave about these cheap tiny Topping/Aiyima amplifiers with class D TPA 3250 amplifier boards. Like most things in life, cheap products are not always very satisfying. What you want are products that deliver good value for the performance. ... | |

Can it be done, sure. The safest way is processing the sig... | |
| Technics SU-R1000 You should be able to put it between your source and pre-amp/amp input connectors (like CD in or Aux in).. | |
| Amplifier Damage Sorry but you should not do that, it should be fully disconnected, not just off. The preamp is seeing the idle amp as a load. Sometimes OK sometimes not. | |
| SPL Stereo Vitalizer Mk2-T (tube) a beast of a loudness control at $1295 I imagine feeding this a Dolby B or C output from an old cassette player and being able to expand its dynamics. DBX did that around 50 years ago. It has its limits. | |
| What cause tweeters hiss ? ....except, everyone seems to forget that the OP stated that the volume of the integrated amp is at Zero The volume control is at its lowest setting. That may not be off but attenuated enough to not hear music playing. | |
| What tube amp are you using with Von Schweikert VR series speakers A Prima Luna with EL-34s is pretty good. If that doesn't do it for you, it might be time to look at different loudspeakers. | |
| Tannoy Turnberry Gr Everyone is outraged by the compatibility of the unison triode 25 amplifier and Tannoy Turnberry GR acoustics. First, I want to say, I hope you can stay safe. Now back on topic. A pair of EL-34s can play louder than most people think but it doe... | |
| Isn't it really about quality of recording? The idea is to get your system sounding it's best for the music you like to listen to. |
