Calling All "Vintage" Integrated/Receiver Owners

  Tape outs will allow a pass through of line level to other amps/systems thus all sources hooked up to the first system will be available on another.
 
YMMV,

For lolz? Jokes?
 
Looks like this thread is still isn't past the level of talking about putting vaseline around the inside or base of your knob to protect from scratchiness... And things of that sort ;-P
 
I got a laugh, Applehead :)
 
Good to hear more intricate details from KeithEmo, though. I always have a good time reading his posts, they're top notch.
 
Speaking of Emotiva, I'm REALLY thinking about painting my Stealth 8 active monitors lately.

Anyone here have LCD 2s that theyre using with their vintage receiver,and if so what are your thoughts?

My Sansui 881 has done amazing things with my AD2000s,and I love the way my HE-500s sound thru it as well,but it totally ruined the sound of my dearly departed T1s.

Im about to swap my WA2 for a pair LCD-2s and wondering if its the right move....

Input appreciated.

I've ran my 2.2 non-f thru the headphone jack of my ka-9100 and don't like it at all.  Might be better through the speaker taps but the amp is in storage so won't be able to try it out anytime soon.

  I run my LCD-2F through a Pioneer SA-8100 on occasion. Sounds great! Makes the LCD a bit brighter actually.

 
@Amish Through the speaker taps as well? The LCD2 isn't that hard to drive if I remember well.

I used the LCD-2 via the Pioneer SX-1980's headphone jack quite a bit, and was always very, very impressed.

Of course, the SX-1980 outputs about 28 watts per channel into 50 ohms from the headphone out :D

Where do you find the HP output power Rob? Or did you measure it?


Have to compute it. The SX-1980 has a 150 ohm dropping resistor on the headphone out, otherwise it's just the same power amp that delivers 270 wpc into 8 ohms. The combined load of the LCD-2 plus the resistor is 200 ohms.

Is there a way of lower the output impedance on a vintage receiver in a safe way?
Usually the whole circuit of the amp goes into the headphone out but with a resistor to lower the output a bit.
Is it safe to just remove the resistors completely or just solder in a lower valued resistor?
 
High output impedance doesn't seem to change the sound on planars but ordinary dynamics have a tendency to get loose in the bass.
