I presume the pre-outs have the same voltage out? What input does the power amp require to achieve maximum output? What is the make and model of the sub? Have you considered attenuating the signal to the power amp? A resistance network will achieve this. and not be at all expensive Have a look...

Plenty of inertia then Newer designs like Lance Dixon's Revolve use a servo controlled motor to maintain accurate speed

Those your new wheels, Christopher?

You can change the For Sale thread to "SOLD". Isn't that enough? If a seller is too lazy to include a photo, he won't get so many replies. Surely its up to the seller to make his advert as descriptive as possible? You should know by now that you have to spoon-feed people to get anything out of...

We're looking forward to the DIY audio session we have arranged for Saturday 15th June, starting at 11h00 So far, we have.. An amplifier with a built-in DAC, constructed by a electronics whiz on this forum A commercial PCM1704-based tube DAC that was heavily tweaked first by Rudi (Geco) and by...

A good afternoon of listening at Ramsey Raad (Audiotweak) in Fish Hoek

From Chris in San Francisco Wow, what a show. Munich High End 2024 was truly the greatest show on Earth. Sure, there were some very unfortunate exhibitors who couldn’t tame their rooms enough to get good sound, but you won’t hear about any of those from me. There were so many good rooms and so...

I recall the Quad 22 valve amp had an input sensitivity of 0.63V. Most modern amps need 1.0 to 2.0 volts to attain maximum output. Several CD players I had over the years had an output of 4 volts Using these with a pre-amp with a specified input signal of 1 volt didn't make a great degree of...

My neighbour works for Chelsea Travel in Wynberg. We are flying from Cape Town to Windhoek in September, so I asked her to get some prices The best economy return she could get was R13650,00 for 2 of us via Airlink I looked at Travelstart and the same flight there was R11808,00 That is...

Short answer = nothing

Motor workshop owner friend has a HAVAL SUV and a Chery for his wife. He is most impressed with the build quality and robustness of the body and suspension. Prior to this he had a Discovery and a Nissan SUV.

Maybe consider Planar or Electrostatic speakers? Mangeplanar (some for sale on this forum) Martin Logan QUAD ELS None local of course

Sounds (?) to me that the bean counters have a larger contribution to an audio manufacturer than the engineers This applies especially to the motor industry, who of course have millions invested in their car plants. Some of the Toyota plants in Japan are said to be worth $250bn

From 1955 (approx) to 1980, there was no substitute for open reel tape. Looking back, early digital sound was not good. I had a friend who ran Paul Bothner Music, one Keith Twine and he said right at the outset in 1985 that DAT and digital recording and editing systems would improve beyond all...
