| Stereo pre-amps with dual outs for bi-amping and a subwoofer line out My tubed Schiit Freya has 2 single ended and one balanced out. The 2 single ended outs go to my main tube amp, and a generally not in use SS amp for "remote" speakers. No impedance issues noted, and turning the "remote" amp on has no audible effec... | |
| Isn't a wondeful time to be an audiophile? A great time to be an audiophile, and a seemingly bad time to be inna. From my KLH Model 20 I bought in 1970 or something (had a groovy portable Sears rig before that, as my income when younger generally went to poor musician needs), to the amazin... | |
| Really...My favorite power tube is reissue that's not widely popular invictus005...did you just get upset at your computer and forget you were typing? Your phone just burst into flames? Noticed your own shirt? The dumpster from the Chinese restaurant next door? | |
| What class of amplifier has the most high definition sound ? I'm pretty sure it's the tubes that do that, as it's been claimed the transformer's job is to strangle things. You have to pay attention around here. | |
| Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period. Yes my expensive "digital" cable is directional, and if you plug it in backwards all hell breaks loose. | |
| What class of amplifier has the most high definition sound ? If my SEP (that's right, P!) amp is being strangled by the output transformers (or is it the input transformer acting in a co-strangle mode?) it must be consensual and a good thing somehow as it's the best sounding amp I know of, or certainly have... | |
| Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period. I have an expensive (bought it used so not so expensive for me) solid silver coax sp/dif cable from my CD player to my DAC. I think it sounds great and I also think my friends, when I show them that cable, should be more enthusiastic and appreciat... | |
| Do you listen to equipment or music. As a sideline...I'm involved in live music as a musician and live sound engineer. Talk to the sales people in either of the High End shops I live near and not only do they not do little "house concerts" at their shops (ask about that fact and note... | |
| Talk but not walk? Bob Dylan actually DID sell out to ladies garments when he astonishingly appeared in a Victoria's Secret TV ad a few years ago. | |
| HELP!!! I need a “GOOD-CHEAP” preamp solution??? I ignore the fuse in my Schiit Freya as I think magic fuse myths are utter inexplicable baloney touted by shills and wishful thinkers ( I tested some highly touted Special Fuses to see if they were better, and they not only aren't, but the ones I ... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? I completely agree that speakers like the Heresy IIIs I have been enjoying are perhaps the most coherent I've heard to their 58hz or so limits (there is bass below that point of course, but not in the same tonal or dynamic ballpark)...very clean, ... | |
| New Member And few questions on First Tube Amp. I highly recommend one of the newer Jolida/Black Ice integrateds...made in China, tweaked in MD, and you can call 'em with questions...less expensive than Primaluna's stuff, and it sounds great...owned an older model 502p for years and loved it.Fu... | |
| What class of amplifier has the most high definition sound ? When I joined the single ended tube amp cult (the meetings surprisingly require elaborate disguises and often feature meaningless chanting) it was sort of an experiment as I became curious about all the fuss and mythology about these amps, so to ... | |
| Head-Fi Rack Recommendation If there is no sound to disturb the tubes I can't see that justification either, but then I'm easily confused... | |
| high-efficiency loudspeakers By the way, tseamless isn't an actual word. |
