I have a Bel Canto SEP-1 hybrid preamp hooked to Quicksilver Silver Mono amps. At low volume levels, quiet listening, the resolution, detail, realism of vocals is amazing. Problem is, I like to listen to music a little bit louder. As I turn up the volume, the lush midrange goes away and it sounds kinda washed out. I'm wondering if it's "normal", or if it's an impedance issue, or I need better tubes. Preamp uses two 6922 tubes (I use RCA branded 1970 d/c, Siemens I think). Amp input impedance is 100k ohm. Preamp output impedance is 150 ohm. thanks, Jeff |
