| Dedicated CD Player Recommendation Erik,You should hear what Dan at Modwright can do to your 9000ES with the addition of his mods and a tube output stage. If you think it's good now, you'll be floored. Simply outstanding! | |
| Cables for a high-school newbie Give the Speltz Anti-cables a try. Enormous bang for the buck! | |
| Best solid state pre-amp below US $ 10.000,00 ?? I had the linestage feature within the Audio Aero Prima DAC (the same as used in the Capitole) I used to own. I ran it as a preamp for a short while, and I can tell you that it is no match for any of the quality preamps you mention above, or my cu... | |

| Analogue volume control on CDP Modwright's Sony 9000ES or 999ES. For the money, and a lot more, hard to beat! | |
| Full Range Speaker $15-$20000 Range? You should give the EgglestonWorks Andra IIs a listen. Soundstage is awesome, and they completely disappear. They are extremely dynamic and natural sounding. Supposedly a good match with Thor gear, but I haven't personally heard them with Thor. No... | |
| BAT + VR 4 JR = ? You should try the Speltz Anti-cables and Anti-ICs. For the money can't be beat, and just might be your last set of cables. | |
| Tube preamp with great pace?Cary, Supratek, etc.? Put the DeHavilland UltraVerve on your list. It's very fast, has great PRAT, and let's you customize the sound by rolling just one 6SN7. It's a must hear. | |

| Audio Aero Prima CD player vs.Modwright Sony 999es I have owned an Audio Aero Prima mkII DAC and a Modwright 999ES at the same time. I still own the Modwright. The Modwright was soncially comparable, if not better than the much more expensive AA. With the added benefits of SACD and video, it becam... | |
| Pass X-250 and Tube Preamp I'm running a McCormack DNA-500 (10kohm input Z) with a Dehavilland UltraVerve (600 ohm output Z), and the combination is terrific.The impedances you are dealing with are probably in the same ballpark. If you stick to the 10 to 1 rule, i.e. the am... | |
| Low priced giant killers Von Schweikert VR-1s..... | |
| Specs to look for when matching tube pre to SS amp The output impedance of the DeHavilland UltraVerve is 600 ohms. They recommend amps that have a minimum of a 10kohm input impedance.I am currently deciding between keeping a Plinius SA-102 (47kohm input impedance) or a McCormack DNA-500 (10kohm in... | |
