| Do all toroidal transformers hum? Thanks Gbart, the fact that my B&K MC Pre-amp with external power supply also had a faint hum (again when I put my ear to the power supply), does that indicate a DC presence on the AC line? | |
| Do all toroidal transformers hum? Thank You all for the great advices. Just want to make sure that the hum is not going to damage anything (I'm new to this stuff,so please pardon my ignorance). The DK does have covers on it's transformers. | |
| Do all toroidal transformers hum? Thank you Stanwal and Tbg, that was informative. The funny thing is that I had Denon POA 2400 (200W/channel) not a sign of hum, but the DK does have a faint hum. I guess I have to live with it as it's not audible 3 inches away from the amp. The De... | |
| Do all toroidal transformers hum? Thank you all for the responses, so you think most of the amps carry mediocre trannys?Regards | |
| Need advice on amp to drive Vandersteen 2Cs Also, the reason I'm looking for an integrated is phono stage. I only listen to vinyl, so it's essential to have a phono stage, my budget at won't permit me to have a tube pre and a tube power. | |
| Need advice on amp to drive Vandersteen 2Cs Agreed, but think about instruments like Cello, they are pretty bass intensive, I couldn't hear the cello reverberation with my Denon Revciver, but with the pre-power combination the sound was very good. I want some heft to the music. | |
| Need advice on amp to drive Vandersteen 2Cs Thanks Tvad, not bad at all, it comes with both MM/MC phono stage and 175 watts/channel. Impressive. Have you ever heard this amplifier? Another question, whats your take on the DK\LSA VS-1 Ref. MK II? | |
| Need advice on amp to drive Vandersteen 2Cs I agree that there are a lot of recommendations for SS amps. But but for 2C only I see at least 3 recommendations for tube amps. Just wanted to get more inputs on tube amps, thats all. | |
| Need advice on amp to drive Vandersteen 2Cs Thanks Tvad, but 55 wpc is rather too low for Vandersteen 2Cs, don't you think? | |
| Need advice on amp to drive Vandersteen 2Cs I appreciate all the input. Looks like there's a consensus that the 2C's will sound very good with tubes. I have no experience with tubes (none at all). Based on Siliab's recommendations, I did some research on tube integrateds, I like the specifi... | |
| Need advice on amp to drive Vandersteen 2Cs Thanks you for all the input. I had the vandersteens driven by a Denon AVR 3805 (7.1 Receiver 7 x 125 watts) but did not like the sound, it was very muddy. So I bought the Denon POA 2400 and fed it from the pre-amp section of the 3805, the sound i... |
