ACA 2B questions

rlinder · « **on:** 20 May 2003, 10:24 am »

Is it possible to buy the preamp with a DACT 2 potentiometer already installed?

Will the ACA 2b drive long innerconnects (10-12') to Le Amps without any problem?

Thank you

I have considered doing it for myself. I don't see Allen Issakson so much that he has moved to China. I can check with him. I also don't know about size.

One of the things that impresses me is just how good the ACA 2b sounds even with the standard ALPs control.

Will the ACA 2b work with a 3 meter long innerconnect without loosing the high end? The output impedence appears a little high at 50,000 unless that is a typo.

Here is a comment we got from one of our ACA 2b customers.

Michael,

I meant to mention again how great the ACA sounds. The music is so much more present in the room. Almost unsettling at times how THERE vocals are. Bass is stellar, acoustic bass in particular. My Prism 6.1s have been waiting for the ACA,

Norman.

Is that a yes?

It must be too early to tell

I posted on audioasylum regarding the output impedence of the aca2b. It sounds as though the spec of 50,000 is unusual and may be a misprint unless it is a passive preamp. Perhaps mbarnes can confirm this spec. I'm mainly concerned because I would like to use an aca2b and 2 leamp2's with 10 foot innerconnects and do not want to find out the hard way that this will not work. From what I have read, right or wrong, it sounds like you could potentially loose high frequencies with such a setup.

Thanks for any response.
