Remote Balance Control: on Tube Integrated Amp?
Anyone know of a Tube Integrated Amp with remote balance?
Safe/Easy/External Bias control would be nice.
I find some individual tracks can benefit a great deal from minor balance adjustments. Especially compilations with many different engineers involved. Remote balance from listening position is the goal.
I now use my Chase Remote Line Controller remote volume and remote balance from listening position, as intermediary stage between a few components. Other sources direct to amp, no remote balance. It would be nice to have remote balance for sources that go directly to the integrated amp.
tubes, +/- 30 wpc is plenty for my very efficient horns. Using Cayin A88T 45wpc now (6550, KT88) Love it, except no remote balance. Used 35/30wpc mono blocks for many years (EL37, EL34, 5881), also plenty power.
Thanks in advance for suggestions,
Elliott

kalali1 , thanks for the specific answer, it is quite a piece of equipment, way over my budget. https://audioresearch.com/ar-package/gsi75-manual-final-9_15-web-dop0-pdf/ file:///C:/Users/ellio/Downloads/GSi75%20Manual%20Final%209_15%20WEB%20DoP(0).pdf |
everyone, Researching, I am finding it very difficult to find remote control features even on manufacturer's sites, the reviews of this unit don't mention it, hardly anyone includes a photo of their remote control, their description doesn't mention it, only in the manual are the remote functions listed, and even the manual does not show the remote control. so specific answers are very helpful, thanks, Elliott |
yogiboy3 , thanks for the specific answer. I like the look for sure. This unit's transformers have been optimized for 5 ohms, my speakers are 16 ohms. I am going to listen to my speakers on my Cayin's 8 ohm taps, (waiting for a friend to return from Chicago to help me). If I like 8 ohm taps results, that will widen the possibilities, but 16 ohms on 5 ohm transformer, aside from changes to sound, it reduces the power from the unit which is already a bit less than ideal for me. thanks, Elliott |
