| Should I Switch Preamps? My impedance questions are answered. Velodyne could not give me any answers on the phone, but they finally found and emailed me schematics, so a quick forward of emails to my buddy Ed and I am good to go...Here is my final search:Jeff Rowland Ca... | |
| Should I Switch Preamps? @soix Well brother, you are the voice of reason... I've owned a few tubed pieces and like my solid state stuff, the longer you leave it on the better it has sounded. I supposed that I could find something that had a couple simple tubes in it t... | |
| Should I Switch Preamps? This could be helpful to others, thanks to @almarg I decided to contact Audio Research as the LS12 has been high on my list... The outputs single ended and balanced on Audio Research Preamps are indeed paralleled... So there could be signific... | |
| Should I Switch Preamps? @almarg Hi Al, Isn't the rule of thumb to have a 10x delta between input and output impedance? I have emailed Velodyne about the Input impedance of my sub, haven't heard yet. But looking a the Audio Research @ 200 ohms single ended and 400 ohms... | |
| Should I Switch Preamps? @ghosthouse @almarg @czarivey @randy-11 Actually Al, to be fair, I've had several helpful comments, so I need to include them in my thanks... I guess I singled you out because of the amount of personal help that you have laid out ... | |
| Should I Switch Preamps? Looks like the Jeff Rowland Capri will work... 40/80 ohms | |
| Should I Switch Preamps? just looked up my Coda CL... it drove any combination that I have used well... Output impedance single ended is 50 ohms and 100 ohms in balanced... I'll need to look a bit further on the Audio Research. Assuming that your suspicion is correct and... | |
| Should I Switch Preamps? Thanks Al, I can't find any input impedance spec's on my old Velodyne 12 sub, the Sumo says 1 megohm.... of course that is single ended only even though it is a fully balanced design and next the Abletec modules that I built are 6k ohm in single... | |
| Should I Switch Preamps? Hi Czarivey,I love my old women dearly, not looking for an ex.... Hoping someone out there will give me good feedback on The Audio Research SS vs The Conrad Johnson SS Pre's....... My interest is piqued there. I'd like to hear what these tubed c... | |
| Should I Switch Preamps? @czarivey Thanks for the reply. Overall good advice. Not sure that my lovely bride would be in for me spending $10,000 to $15,000 to stock a few pre's. we are blessed in life, our money is good and she doesn't argue much with my indulging in aud... | |
| Should I Switch Preamps? @ghosthouse Thanks for the really good advice... I could call Jason. I met him a few times way back when from when he was at Sumo.... No, I really don't have to sell everything off.... I've been telling my wife for awhile that I'd get rid of s... | |
| Should I Switch Preamps? Thanks for chiming in Randy, but I need some practical advice on making a pre change.... I'm quite experienced at room treatment.... My speakers can be anything that I want to build.... My current speakers completely disappear and compete at a hi... | |
| For the rest of my life Ypsilon or Luxman? Coda has a pair of S250 on Ebay.... $28,000These are the best amps that Coda has ever produced... Worth looking into. | |
| For the rest of my life Ypsilon or Luxman? I apologize if you want opinions only on these 2 amps. I have not sat in front of these... but for my buck, I really loved the Ampzilla 2000 Second Edition... These amps will drive anything and have that Odd flavor of being very tube like in th... | |
| Speaker phase observation and question? Hi Kalali, well to answer your question... quality would not benefit from a design with a combination of low impedance and low phase angle, but when you are designing, if you want a very detailed speaker, you may choose a very stiff cone, you... |
