| RE: Kinergetics KBA-75 I have a KBA-75 gold (the original one with the big red power button on the front, not the later platinum). Those jacks are the same. They can be used for bi-amping. I use them to feed the KPA-1 output to a tube amp, so it is easier to switch amps... | |
| Anyone heard the Kinergetics KBA-75 amp?? I agree with Blue Swan. I've had mine since early 2010. Only problem is the big red power switch (this is the original KBA-75 which I refer to as the gold one since the second model of the KBA-75 is called the platinum.) The switch is still availa... | |
| Vintage Kinergetics gear repair by someone that knows what they are doing? I have not used them, but I have a KPA-1 and a KBA-75 gold that are working. I was looking for info one day and spotted this adhttps://kahlaudio.com/products/kinergetics-kba-75-platinum-series-class-a-amplifier-legendary-2000-m...So I e-mailed him... | |
| apt holman problems Also, even on pre-amps that are encased in solid metal on all six sides, do not have a pre-amp too close to a power amp. Even if the power amp is off, some keep the power supply on standby, generating an electromagnetic field that can cause hum. I... | |
| Apt Holman repairs Just from searching (since I have the pre-amp and amp), not from experience)https://audioproz.com/AP.php?Article=64https://audioproz.com/AP.php?Article=95https://quirkaudio.com/?page_id=895https://quirkaudio.com/?page_id=952https://quirkaudio.com/... | |
| best preamp under 500 for cheap, poor student You may be able to get the Apt pre-amp under 500, but worth it if you pay more. Mitsubishi DA-P20 underappreciated and should fit your budget. | |
| How do we remember 1970s amplifiers? Strongly agree Apt Holman pre-amp and matching amp (I have that pre-amp driving two of their amps running as mono-blocks). | |
| Best Tube Amp under 10K? Apt Holman tends to refer to the pre-amp. Apt refers to the amp. At least that's what the manual covers indicate. I have the pre-amp driving the amps set to mono-block. | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers Also the Mitsubishi - well done, real controls, metal knobs. Items such as DA-P20 pre-amp, A-10 amp, matching meter box. | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers Apt Holman pre-amp, and related amp. Kinergetics KPA-1 and KBA-75 | |
| Cheap Old Preamps Agree on NAD. Have 7020 from 1982 (is 3020 amp plus tuner). Jumper on back to get to pre-amp output. Mitsubishi DA-P20 also. Other favorites are not cheap, such as Kinergetics KPA-1 and Apt Holman. With a small speaker like ADS L420, 7020 sounds g... | |
| What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE??? My favorite former companies (I hate to say defunct because I'm still running their 30 year old products) : Kinergetics KPA-1 pre-amp and KBA-75 amp. Apt Holman pre-amp and Apt amp. | |
| Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's? I have DQ-10s (early model without fuse in back) and DQ-20s. Currently running the DQ-20s with the Apt pre-amp and amp mentioned above. I have two amps as mono-blocks, so 200 Wpc. But sound OK with one amp running both speakers (100 Wpc). I also h... | |
| Is an Apt preamp a good preamp for my setup. I have one and am happy with it. Tricky to get cleaner in to pots but works well. Have two companion amps running as mono-blocks. I decided not to plug the mono-blocks in to the pre-amp since would approach limit of switched outlets | |
| apt holman problems Manual is at https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/apt-corporation.shtmlDoes hum only come when channel cuts out? That sounds like cable.If hum in both channels, the turntable to pre-amp separate ground wire is suspect as others wrote. This gr... |
