| Why Do We Use Preamps? 1. to match impedances between source and power amplifier2. to control the volume between source and power amplifier | |
| Are Carver Preamps Any Good? Carver's Sunfire line of theater and 2ch equipment is much superior and price worthy compared to Nad Rotel or Creek. | |
| How to safely bias Cayin A88T Tube amp The way to do it safely is to connect dummy load resistor to the speaker binding posts of your amp such as 10Ohms/50W available at partsexpress.com. Watch your multimeter not to go way over or under the tolerant bias voltages. Ask the manufacturer... | |
| How to safely bias Cayin A88T Tube amp Do you have any exposed biasing pots in your amp? | |
| biwire w/just one amp output? you would avoid using jumpers.same way you can cut more isolation on your speaker wire and thread it through both speaker binding posts. thus you'll have a 'homogeneous' connection. | |
| Do you have tin ears? I agree with Azjake. It's a gift for an audiophile not to spend a lot on wires. | |
| AKG Headphones: New K272 HD vs K702 vs Beyer ? i still love them since I've heard on my music that I haven't heard ever before! | |
| Frustrated with new pre-amp and need advice Which for example $200 unit?Usually they do not have these issues. | |
| AKG Headphones: New K272 HD vs K702 vs Beyer ? Jax2,I figured out that lack of bass in AKG K701 is diminishable with good headphone amp. I now use SPL 2Control. I used to have the same one as yours Cyber 20 but I sold it. | |
| Frustrated with new pre-amp and need advice somehow your preamp seems to me mis-manufactured in the sense of correct values of bias supply. if the tubes are over- or under- driven that would seem to show your case. Audio Research had done some mis-manufactured units and fixed them at no eve... | |
| wbt terminals? OMG limiting what? | |
| cleaning the pins of NOS tubes...bad idea? It isn't a bad idea to clean the pins from time to time. Hopefully the market will go towards creating tubes with gold-plated pins:-) | |
| Other than music, why are you an audiophile? because music has to sound! | |
| Wyred 4 Sound STI-1000 - upgrades/tweaks This is one of few amps I would turn 24/7 without turning off. | |
| Nikko Alpha 1 Amp?? I guess you can grab this one for around $150?It's a good bang for a buck. The only thing I don't like about Nikko is the output transformer otherwise it's good budget take-point. |
