| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp Wishing all Audio-Goners a very Happy, Prosperous New Year! Bruce | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp Thank you Atmasphere, I'm doing better as each day passes. :) | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp Hello all,Sorry for the delay with my reply. Had surgery on Friday and it took a couple of days to recoop. I would like to try the "tube amp" approach for my 2 channel listening. Mark had a recommendation of a Musical Reference RM-10 and from what... | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp Thanks Mark, I'll keep an eye out. Atmassphere, your explanation was amazing. Made total sense. Is it safe to assume that you are some type of audio engineer? As my Mama use to say, "Try to learn something new every day" well I certainly did today... | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp Runnin,Thanks for the input. I was running AQ type 4 from the beginning, when I first purchased my Arcam back in 2006. I used them up until about 5 months ago when I changed over to Canare 4s11. They seem a bit more mellow than the AQ. I really th... | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp Hi Mark,Yes, if I go this route, I would be wiring 2 channel into the preamp and all digital sources would connect to the digital inputs on the receiver via fiber cables. But the preamp would have to possess a "tape monitor" out which the CJ Class... | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp John,What makes you think that using the tape output to tape input work? I mean, it makes sense. I'm currently using the "tape in" on the Arcam for the input of my Sony HD FM tuner. It works great and allows "stereo direct". It sounds pretty good ... | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp John, Based on your recommendations, using the tape out on the preamp to the tape in on my Arcam will achieve the same affect as a HT bypass. The only time I would turn the preamp on would be to listen to 2 channel sources i.e. FM Tuner, Oppo CD a... | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp OK, after inspecting the backside of the CJ Classic tube preamp, it has "pre out" which I should have figured. So I could connect that to the tape in on my Arcam, correct? I know, I'm a little slow on the uptake. :) I can then connect the two chan... | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp John, I'm sorry if I'm seeming a bit dense, are you saying to use the "tape out" on the CJ Classic and use the "tape in" monitor on the Arcam which is also "stereo direct"? I'm just trying to understand this whole HT bypass configuration. Thanks,B... | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp Any thoughts on the Conrad Johnson Classic tube preamp? There is on here on Agon in my price range. | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp Jtcf, yes, I'm sure CJ tubes are excellant and from what I've seen here on Agon, expensive. My 1,000 budget won't do unless a heck of a sale pops up. I check everyday. I'm also wondering, there is no "amp in" input on my Arcam. I would have to plu... | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp Hi Mark,Thank you for the recommendations. Yes, I currently have an Arcam AVR300, 7 channels, 100w per/chan. Two of the channels can be switched to the front mains for bi-amping purposes. With all the other suggestions, I am giving thought to tube... | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp Thank you John for the suggestions, I'll do some research to see what works best for me. As for the "shy" comment, my friends would have a good laugh at that one. :)Thanks to everyone who contributed, I truly respect and appreciate your knowledge ... | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp Zd542, I have the 1Cs at the proper tilt for my listening position. I downloaded the instructions from Vandersteen's website a while back and I have also turned down the highs as well. They do sound better now than before. I've always wondered abo... |
