Your thoughts on a Django Passive Preamp.


I'm thinking of getting a Django but cannot find any upto date posts about it do we have any owners?

I'm going to replace my BAT VK5i with it. I have 3 sources

1) Mitchell Gyro SE turntable through an EAR 834P then to the BAT using 1.5 mtr Cardas Neutral Reference.

2) Harman Kardon Citation 23 Tuner with 1/2 mtr Cardas Neutral Reference.

3) Sony SCD 777es 1 mtr Cardas Neutral Reference.

From the Preamp I have 2.5 mtr Cardas Neutral Reference to a pair VTL 450 Sig's and then via 2 mtr Cardas Neutral Reference speaker cables to a new pair of Magnepan 1.7's (I hope).

Is this a good or a foolish move. At 72 there are great chunks of the Audio Spectrum I nolonger hear so I'm hoping these changes will expand the sound stage and enhance the bits I can hear. Also I'm curious as to what I've been missing.

Any and all comments will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Alan.

Hello Alan

I just posted a similar question in the forum. Haven't received any feedback yet.

But I can tell you this. I am running my VPI Classic and Fosgate Phono straight to my Audio Mirror 20 watt Monoblocks, and I believe I hear more detail and definition from my records. So much so, I am thinking of running my second TT to it also (it is a Nottingham Space Deck with a 12' Space Ace tonearm and Miyajima mono cartridge). My phono amp for this setup is a Pathos Inthegroove.

I am running everything thru a 5.5 VTL preamp, which I love, but find it may actually be getting in the way of good quality sound reproduction.

One of my questions to the group is similar to your. . . i.e., thoughts on the use of a passive preamp. I think I will hold on to my VTL however.

Best regards

Herb
