[R-390] Odd...

[N4BUQ at aol.com]

Judging by the responses, I guess I didn't make it clear that my comment was meant to have a fair amount of sarcasm injected into it.  From the claims on the auction page, the guy makes it sound like you will get nothing from the R390A without a matching xfmr which isn't the truth.

Is an 8-ohm speaker a mismatch to the 600-ohm output?  Yes.

Do you get great sounding audio without a matching xfmr? No.

Do you really get great sounding audio with a matching xfmr? No.

It will, however "work".  I have a matching xfmr in mine right now, but before I got it, I hooked up a speaker to the 600-ohm output and got reasonable audio.  I just thought the ad contained a fair amount of hype.

>Funny.  I hooked up an 8-ohm speaker to my R390A and it worked.  Did I do something wrong?
