Music First TVC Ref. Edition

Hi Guys,

It seems to me like a pretty expensive volume control when the following integrated amp has a frequency dependent feedback problem to muck the music?

I think it would be more advantageous to rid the system of the poor quality analog stage(s) in the player/dac, which also has the same feedback affliction as the integrated.

My .02 worth.


"Steve didn't understand the part about intergrated amp."

>>Did I miss something Rollo? Not sure what you meant.



"As far as ridding the DAC or CDP of the analog stage was something I was trying to accomplish in my short stint as a manf. Unfortunately we did not get to that stage."

>>I think you would have loved the sound Rollo. Of course you might have had to upgrade some caps etc.


    "I strongly believe the analog stages are the weakest link and redundant in the signal path. Why not just use balanced output transformers instead. Then feed direct to Amp. Clean and simple."

>>Yes, I agree, especially with the cheap OP amp, or descrete parts, resistors, caps etc. I think many integrated amps have enough sensitivity, 1 vrms.

Take care.
