Thanks!

I am looking to buy the Topping LA90 as an integrated amp for my system but my system does not have XLR outputs to go into LA90's inputs. Any suggestions? Would it be feasible to use something like this? https://www.amazon.com/rca-xlr/s?k=rca+to+xlr

Thanks, I did read the manual. But my question was not whether it can be connected from the amp to the input of the sub amp - I knew that it could - but rather if I could connect a wire AND a spade on the same connector / binding post (the manual reads "banana plugs OR bare wire", not AND). A...

Much appreciated!

@Blumlein 88 what do you mean by attenuation? Is that something I can do on my own?

Yes I am trying to feed the integrated speaker (Bottlehead Stereomour II) outputs as input to the plate amp (Dayton SA100) because the integrated does not have RCA outs. My speaker cables are terminated spades and I would like to use copper wires between the integrated speaker outputs to the...

I am trying to connect my Dayton Plate Amp to Integrated Amp which does not have RCA outputs so I need to connect them through the binding posts. My speaker cables are spade terminated and I have some copper wire at home. Question, can I connect the spade and bare copper wire to the same...

Clearly we have different tastes, and that is perfectly fine! The Audion Preamp was more a purchase for aesthetics than anything else. It just looked gorgeous (to me) and I know it is crazy expensive and probably doesn't sound anything different from my existing Musical Paradise Preamp, but it...

So I managed to isolate the noise. It is coming from the Audion preamp. The Musical Paradise Preamp is silent at all listenable levels, although it does get a bit of hissing when turned all the way up, but that is above any reasonable listening levels. I've sent the Audio Preamp back to the...

Thanks for your input. I'll look into the line-level transformers.

Thanks! Super helpful!

Thank you! The noise is still persisting but I am turning my AC on now until I get this solved!

I would describe it as a buzz. My speakers are the Mofi Sourcepoint 10 My preamps are Audion Premier 0.5 Line Level Pre-Amplifier / Musical Paradise MP 701 MK2 My amp is the Musical Paradise MP501 V5 I simply plug in the preamp to the amp using RCA cables. The amp has a power amp mode and an...

Hello All: Hoping I can find a solution to this that has been bugging me for the past few days. There is this noise from my speakers whenever I insert my preamp into the system. I have two preamps and they both have noise, but they sound a little different and the noise level is different...

So.... I've decided to return both the KEF LS50 Meta and KC62. Didn't want to deal with the hassle. I really liked how the LS50s sounded and looked, and it fit perfectly (a bit on the small side) in my room. I did speak to KEF on the phone and they concluded it was probably a system mismatch...

I've decided to order a 12db RCA line level attenuator. Hope this helps

Yes you are right, it didn't help. What helped was connecting from the speaker level / power amp side. The gain from the KC62 is much more tolerable now, however, the volume knob still does not work until nearly 9 o'clock. Sadly, amp level connection doesn't work for me long term so I am going...

I'm going to lower the output gain on my preamp (it has 4 different levels that I can select on the onboard DIP switch) to see if I can get more low end gain. Hopefully this can solve the issue as I really like the KC62. Thanks! I'll be reporting back.

Yes that is the exact same thing I am facing. So glad to know I am not alone and/or not something I am doing wrong.

I've read some threads here and elsewhere that seems to show others have had problems with the KC62 shutting off at low volume. Sounds similar if not 100% identical to the issue that I am facing.
