| Best preamp (used or new) under $350??? Don't know if you have made a decision, but I'd keep this in the mix. Brand new, of course it isn't a MBL6010D, but I've seen the boards in both and have to say that they do look like a direct knock off. I suspect this would be superb at its p... | |
| Bryston or Classe Hopefully andrewzz figured out which one was better in the past 16 years since his post. | |
| How could 100 Watt class a has more head room than a 300 Watt amp Class AB @elevick You are correct, I just threw out 6db because of going from 100 to 300, but yes, you would need 400 watts for the EXTRA 6db of headroom.I do disagree to some degree on not telling the difference. Not necessarily but could be.... I have... | |
| How could 100 Watt class a has more head room than a 300 Watt amp Class AB There are a few examples...So as far as Headroom.... First an 100 watt amp that is true pure Class A amplifier won't play louder than a 300 watt A/B amp... Pure Class A means that it will not switch out of Class A from First Watt until clipping...... | |
| Speakers for my car There is no best... I have done a thousand or so installs. When building a home speaker, matching the driver to the box is critical, spacing the drivers and a crossover that properly blends them etc... A car is no different. getting drivers that... | |
| Which Budget Friendly Floorstanders Next? @10000_hz_legend I have mentioned this kit here twice on this forum before and probably will again. I know of no other speaker that you can buy new for less that 2 to 3 times the cost of this kit. It is fairly simple to build and the designer is... | |
| Altec A7 What to do Hi Kip, Not sure of your budget....If no budget, yes, get the Jantzen superior z in a 12mfd and a 6.8mfd.....If budget is an issue, take a look at Solen PPE caps... the other Solens are ok too, but I clearly Prefer the PPE, then get a Russi... | |
| Altec A7 What to do @kipduff Hi Kip, If you are going to do a simple parts upgrade, measure the inductors, If they measure fine, just use them. If you are going to replace a diaphragm, if you can afford it, I’d replace them both. They could sound different from the o... | |
| Wells Innamorata vs CODA 15.5?????????? @milan This is the second very old thread that included Coda amps that I have seen you respond to or re-open pushing Karan amps.... I might suggest rather than responding to threads that are 3 to 4 years old that no one asked about Karan amps,... | |
| Mega D'Appolito Speakers - The Holy Grail? At SpeakerCraft/Marcof we were building MTM arrays before Joe came out with his well deserved praise for his development. Joe was trying to eliminate lobing error independent of inter-driver phase relationships. Most of the time Joe used all 18db... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! @almarg Al, I couldn't have said it better, I was just about to respond to thorloki when I read your last post. He simply signed into our community to try to destroy Kevin Deal and Prima Luna. He has a legitimate gripe, but he isn't dealing wit... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! @inna Hi inna, you make alot of good comments over time.... Not sure that you are aware that Taiwan is a "Republic of China" Does Gryphon or Ypsilon make anything in the PL price ranges? I really don't know, but I've not seen anything close. | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! Thanks for chiming in Kevin, In so many ways this isn't our business, but its been made our business. Your response was kind and you made no defense for a defective product. It sounds like that you understand George's aggravation, thanks for you... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! It is commending to see all the support for Prima Luna, but that has nothing to do with nor excuse anything about this situation. Also it is fair to say that there is no way that Kevin could have any knowledge that this would happen and would neve... | |
| Pioneer HPM-40 Vintage Speakers Pioneer made an HPM150 and an HPM200 also. I'm old, I sold these at the very end of their retail life cycle. The 40's were a bit more balanced than the 100's, but both could get edgy.... I've never measured the 40's, but the 100's were about 90d... |
