| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! Well, I appreciate Ralph chiming in with some reality. I also assumed an ESL and I do know that DC from any component hitting a DC coupled input can cause serious damage in speakers. I've seen it fry speakers more than once, but I had no idea of... | |
| PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium Preamplifier. DESTROYS SPEAKERS!! Tough call on a tough situation, if I had purchased 2 preamps and within a few weeks, one went defective and damaged a very expensive pair of speakers, then the second unit did the same thing, I would also be beyond aggravated. I would expect the... | |
| PS Audio 200C X vs. 200Delta? I've had too many amps come through my hands over the past couple of years. I have a 200C now. Hence me looking around and finding this post. I haven't measured rail voltage, but I did check the caps. They all measure around 16,500 mfd each and... | |
| PS Audio 200C X vs. 200Delta? Not a problem Eric, I thought that you might not need it anymore, but it could answer for someone else at another time... by the way, I did not mention, If I remember correctly, I sold Delta 200's in my own store in 1991. | |
| PS Audio 200C X vs. 200Delta? Old Post 3+ years old and just ran across it. I knew the info, so I'm updating the post... The 200C/200Cx is the last amps that were put out under Paul McGowan's watch. He had Bob Odell do this amp. It is 200 to 8, 400 to 4 and 800 to 2 ohms, c... | |
| Why are tweeters so high off of the ground in many tower speakers... I needed to research your speakers before chiming in.... Well, these have 1st order slopes and the rolloff is very minimal. Unless you are fairly far away from your speakers, pointing them downward would slightly increase the frequencies of both... | |
| PREAMP technology shift? - Class A/ balanced/ dual-mono/ zero feedback vs. op-amp preamps Manufactures using op amps makes all the sense in the world to me. We all preach that the shorter the circuit path, the less involved, the better sounding....well really anything. As these micro parts improve, incredibly short signal paths of ... | |
| PassLabs 350.8 versus Ayre MXR Twenty On 8-4 of that same Long list of amp thread, he says that he sold the 350.8 | |
| Need a new amplifier. Need a good match for my Audio Research LS7 preamp it is getting old and tough to find, but a Muse One Hundred Sixty sounds like a perfect fit. | |
| Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl? I think in General, Nelson is exactly right... when it comes to the traditional designs of A... A/B anyway. I look at an old Sumo or Gas Amp that Mike Bettinger mods. He changes caps & resistors to newest & best as well as switching a b... | |
| Current speaker threads are boring Hi Inna, I read your post that you were talking about "Truly Great Performing Speakers" not necessarily the mega buck stuff only... A thread that goes off of your lead, something like How much does the price have to do with Truly great, mid ... | |

| Need a preamp with tone controls! T+A Elektroakustic Previously enjoyed Under $2000SST Thoebe II Previously enjoyed around $3000Depending on taste, these are both very good. The SST Ambrosia that Audioman58 is a great pre also | |
| Preamp w/ a budget of $2000 Don't know if you've found anything, but a Coda CP is a very nice sounding pre. Remote, Phono section, balanced and single ended in and out, does everything fairly well. Worth hunting one down. Good Luck, Tim | |
| Incredible deal on incredible amp @lxgreen Something is going on out there. I had a table on here for along time offering at a price that I've seen them selling at many times I have it priced now for $100 less than before with a best offer, superb table for the money, yet seem... |
