| Low Watt Solid State Amp The DIY ACA2 kit is on back order for the foreseeable future and it's the only complete kit out there. DIYaudiostore put together a component kit for the F5 so all you need to do is source the chassis, transformer, power supply, and other bits, bu... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? @analogluvr Thanks man! I appreciate kind words! | |
| How to check a speaker is Genuine or Fake Wasn't there a similar thread to this last month or something? | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? An active pre-amp certainly beats the hell out of a volume control that cannot avoid acting like a tone control, and that's exactly what they end up doing. George's argument is ludicrous. Over in the cable forum we've got folks arguing about cable... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? @georgehifi Yeah, which in a good line stage is basically insignificant. It doesn't hold a candle to the distortion generated by running a gain stage to it's limits. Getting better sound from more gain and less input signal makes perfect sense. It... | |
| Talk but not walk? @geoffkait = rodeo clownIt's only exciting if you're paying a web lackey to produce bloated, obsolete code. | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? @georgehifi Yes, that's EXACTLY what you suggested! You said select a gain level and run it wide open! I'm not the only one who read that! Clearly you forgot your own words so I'll remind you"" I would have thought the least amount noise would co... | |
| Talk but not walk? If the wevsite had been updated you wouldn't have posted a link full of Flash content that hasn't been supported by Android since 4.0.3. Fire you're web lackey. | |
| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! @mrdecibel If I wasn't right HiFi would be an exploding industry, not a dying one. | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? @georgehifi Yeah, you knob! I read what you wrote! Assuming the gain stage is after the volume and the front end is buffered, which would be the rational thing to do, it make no sense whatsoever to run the gain stage wide open. | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? @georgehifi Wrong yet again. That doesn't even make logical sense. Why would you amplify the signal to it's absolute maximum before attenuating it? It makes a lot more sense to feed the gain stage the least amount of signal to keep the distortion ... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? That's kinda my point, too. You're getting it somewhere. Might as well do it in the best environment possible. | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? @georgehifi Do I really need to quote Pass on you're beloved Aleph L to prove you wrong? | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? There's no technical reason to conclude getting gain in a pre-amp stage won't sound better. The reverse is true. The environment of a pre-amp is a very good place to gain some voltage because the power supply isn't subject to the demands of a huge... | |
| McIntosh (MC601) amplifier overheating problem Pay no mind to Foggythink. I appreciate the more technically astute around here such as yourself. To Foggythink:Big power transistors aren't horribly expensive in general, but when pralleling them you have to buy a nice pile and match them to the ... |
