| Looking for an amazing preamp under $700 used foreverhifi2000, I think it a disservice to those asking advise that you continually refer to a "lack of dynamics" or "You'll give up ultimate dynamics" when discussing passives - as if it were a given. You may have had that experience but many ot... | |
| What is a test pressing? I have a number of test pressings and what I find is that Rives is correct. However, I have a few which make me wonder whether the "should" in his last sentence is rather loosely followed! :-) | |
| Best Power Cord for the Audio Magic Stealth With no effort to engage in a AM pro or con argument, Kana, the exact same could be said for a wide variety of components, including mega-buck amplifiers. Heck, with the cost of some, they should cleanly power themselves without a cord.I have to a... | |

| Anybody hear of Jack Johnson? Hey, I just heard the cut "On and On" on my local FM station KFOG. They have a nightly play of a "new" song they call the "Buzz Cut", meaning what all the buzz is about. Very Tasty, indeed. | |
| Best Power Cord for the Audio Magic Stealth I suggest a forum search. There was a pretty good discussion of this not too long ago. | |

| Anyone with kids should see this... Just say NO I knew a guy in the 70's who was a real nature freak and adopted an abandoned baby raccoon. Things went swimmingly until one day when the coon was about 6 months old and the guy left him inside while at work. Let me just say that his Large Advents... | |
| Why an active preamp with Rock-N-Roll ? Steakster, I tried a wide variety of 6dj8, 6922, and 7308's in my Eclipse; Siemens, Teles, Amperex, Mullard, all the usual "suspects". Not so much because any one of them sounded bad, just found it fun to do and listen for the difference. Believe ... | |
| Why an active preamp with Rock-N-Roll ? Before I bought my Bent 102 passive, I had a Kora Eclipse and was very pleased with it playing a wide variety of music. It is one piece that I have sold that I would own again. That said, the Bent IS DYNAMIC playing the hardest of rock, or most an... | |
| Preamps, Whats the difference, Active & Passive ? I have a Bent 102MkII passive that passes signals from my source components to a McCormack amp. I will agree that passives are system dependent (what ain't?). In my system, talk of dynamic loss, thin sound, weak bass, etc. is just that, talk, and ... | |
| Burn in power cord by boiling water?? Try using some of the "burning glares" you've received as a response to your question...... ;-) | |

| Super Tweak for Nottingham Space TT While pleased that anything I might have suggested has been helpful, I am embarrased to have been mentioned in the same breath as Tom when it comes to depth and breadth of those things analog. I, too, have learned a lot on this site, while having ... |
