| Does this tube preamp exist? If you can go up to $1000, there is a Sonic Frontiers Line 1 for sale here on Audiogon. Fits all your parameters. | |
| My cj still gets to hot How do you store the amp? Is the amp getting appropriate ventialtion? How many inches behind, above and to the sides is it from the next surface? What is it sitting on? Are those surrounding surfaces generating heat? What is the ambient temperatur... | |
| My cj still gets to hot Hifihutch, I just got my amp back from CJ yesterday. Have no fear, they handled everything just great. They turned it around in no time, better than ever. Very good customer service, highly recommended. My ss c-j never gets hot, something doesn't ... | |
| Preamps for $300 to match with B&K st-140? The truth of the matter is there are very limited choices in decent inexpensive pre-amps. The B&K pro MC 10 seems to satisfy all your requirements and would probably be the safest recommendation with regards to compatability. Please keep in mi... | |
| Preamps for $300 to match with B&K st-140? I'm not familiar with the diamondbacks. I would suggest avoididng interconnects that are very high in capacitance if you use a pre-amp with a high out-put impedance into the B&K ST-140. Of course the length of the interconnect will have to be ... | |
| Preamps for $300 to match with B&K st-140? Kool39, "the 10-100 times guideline" is some what arbitrary and IMHO generous. While 600 Ohms will probably work, it might require more attention to interconnect selection. | |
| Tuner connection and sound variance. HELP What your describing isn't that unusual. Your tuner and all that's attached to it may be acting as an antena, maybe picking up more than broadcasts too. This is one of the reasons that some like "purist" hair shirted pre's that only allow one inpu... | |
| Rate these on order of importance: Marco, agreed! | |
| Preamps for $300 to match with B&K st-140? Sorry, I have to disagree with the passive and AI recommendations. The B&K ST140's rather low input impedance does not make it an ideal candidate for passive or high impedance out-put preamps. I tried a couple of passives with the B&K and ... | |
| Is there any obvious advantage for monoblocks? Cooler operation. | |
| Adcom 545 vs. B&K st-140 While I can't comment on the newer B&K ST 140, I'm in full agreement with Infinitebaffle on the rest of his post. I'd like to add that the B&K has a rather low-input impedance that might challange most tube pre-amps that usuaully have high... | |
| Rate these on order of importance: Do we have match? If Rsbeck is just stuttering, Abe_av might be in agreement. 12 days and 62 posts later. | |
| Rate these on order of importance: Marco, I'll be the first one to say that we haven't found measurment techniques that can truly identify the complete listening experience, especialy speakers. As compelling as they are, I didn't mean for my "argument" to be soley based around thos... | |
| Inactive speakers in the room...any effect? Clueless, I can see it now, specially formulated from a rare an exotic rubber tree, cryongenicly treated and mounted on a sandwich of sorborthane, exotic wood, rare stone and kevlar over tip toes, with a remote controlled blue light that can be pr... | |
