| Sonic Frontiers Line 2, Heaven or Hell? I would not quite label it hell. I did own one, and my general reaction was it made a better dynamic range compresser than a preamp. No wait, make that a dynamic range limiter. lol ...Think doctor's office waiting room sound system. | |
| "Tell the industry what you want" postingboard Bring back rack handles. Who came up with the idea for a 150 lb amp with no handles? | |
| Mods for ARC preamp / amp I can't really see buying a product that expensive and then turning it over to someone to hotrod. If the sound is not to your liking, move on and try some other gear. If a ten grand pre is so bad it needs to be sent out for mods, then imo, it must... | |
| Wadia ITransport Are you positive you are listing to the same mastering? You might be listing to the same song, but maybe the CD is a digital remaster and the Apple version is not...something like that.I had this occur when listing at a dealer. He played a song th... | |
| Amplifier Experience Gryphon Pass Lamm BAT I have only owned PASS LABS and they DO NOT error on the warm side. No hint of warmth. The warmth meter goes to zero. | |

| Best 3 tube preamps under $18000? If you only have one source and it is digital the an $18000 pre amp is a big waste of money. It is a very expensive way to turn the volume LESS DOWN. $18 grand could go along way to improve a system in other ways. | |

| Best Song Intro freebird- crank it up! | |
| Torn between two amps Consider a patch bay. You will need to plug and unplug but it is allot easier. | |
| Soundcraftsman amps anyone???? didn't they go mostly into car audio? | |
| Are Carver Preamps Any Good? Name them. imo, the Carver C-16 pre was way better than any equal priced produce from NAD, Rotel, Proton, Adcom, Audio Source, MTX/Soundcraftsman etc. The pre has a complex tone control section that was more like an eq and works well for subtal ch... | |
| Other than music, why are you an audiophile? i have a sick obsession with brushed aluminum metal boxes with knobs, switches, light up meters, and protruding rack handles, and lots of expensive wires going out the back. I love spending stupid money on this stuff ! lol | |
| Cloning Class A Classics Continued.. They do have patents, you know?Does anyone remember Nakimici ? I believe they ripped Pass at one time.Sometimes smart designers do stupid stuff just to see if anyone copies.(This can be very interesting)It costs allot to manufacture, even if you j... | |
| Amp for Mirage M1 Si's?? Try a reputable 100W+ push pull tube amp. The midrange bloom is awesome. The combo can make a Les Paul played into a Marshall sound like the real thing.Never known Mirages Ms to be too power hungry and volume has never been an issue for me (but ma... |
