    Adapt RCA to XLR - compromise?

    Hi Trev The pre only has RCA - the monos only have XLR. Question was more if the passing signal through an un-necessary connector (the adaptor) would mean a loss so significant, that the idea as such is wrong.

    Adapt RCA to XLR - compromise?

    Hi everybody Anyone with experience or technicial insight that can tell me if using adapters to fit RCA out from one unit to XLR in to another unit is ok? More precisely I have a Tube preamp - only unbalanced RCA - that I would like to hook up to a pair of monoblocks that only has XLR...

    Subwoofer Crossover

    Hi When adding a subwoofer to a stereo setup for music listening, how do I best utilize the crossover filter? I know you are supposed to listen and adjust to your individual setup, but can I do it in a way, to "relieve" my floorstanders? The floorstanders struggle a bit with depth when I go...

    Power amp match w. Arcam A85

    Patience or not :roll: Bidding on a P85 (or FMJ P25) failed due to sellers not wanting to ship internationally or prize levels... But this would work I mean:switch on the back allows me to bypass the preamp and control section of the A85 making it work like a P85. The volumebutton doesn't...

    Power amp match w. Arcam A85

    I written Arcam support an email, asking if the Delta 290 would match in terms of gain etc. Arcam claim to be matching gain between all current models, and since the Divas... but it would be nice to know if this thing goes back to older models.

    Power amp match w. Arcam A85

    Thanks! The P85 from Ebay looks good. I live in Denmark, however. Just discovered a Delta P290 from a local seller. Around 80 british pounds. How you reckon this would match the A85? (Must say so far the Arcam really struggles to improve on my vintage Pioneer A88-x, but hopefully a bi-amped...

    Power amp match w. Arcam A85
