| Best Passive Pre-amp with remote?? Lmathais,You can check out Audio Synthesis of UK "Passion Ultimate" remote passive. I have been using the ProPassion passive,i.e. single-input/single-otput but dual mono construction for the past 6 years and I can tell you that I am yet to come ac... | |
| High output dacs/CD players Audiophobe,Shortest cables with the least capacitance is what I'm using presently. But, whats the "fix" please tell me. | |
| High output dacs/CD players Marakenetz:Thanks for your info. I try to keep myself working below the output resistance of the passive at 1k. But, with such an arrangement, there is not enough gain. I'm using the Aleph 1.2 amps whose input imp is 10k. Thats where the problem i... | |
| Passlabs Aleph 1.2 with CJ Tube 17LS/16LS Preamp Rayhall,Since your CAT is 100 ohms looking into the low input imp of the Alephs, there should be no imp mismatches here. I've auditioned Nordost line of ICs and do find them a little clinical with certain types of music. I keep returning back to t... | |
| Passlabs Aleph 1.2 with CJ Tube 17LS/16LS Preamp Hello Rayhall:Thanks for the input on the KS3033. I suspected that they could get a bit on the bright side as Kimber claims more air, & more air! Maybe, Cardas either "golden cross" or "Golden Ref" make be the cable for me then. As regards to ... | |
| Passlabs Aleph 1.2 with CJ Tube 17LS/16LS Preamp Very interesting Rayhall & John_1:No, I'm not looking for the last word in bass slam etc. What I'm looking for is overall completeness, i.r. attack, growth of the tone, and decay, all of which are plenty in abundance of a SET(tube)amp. But, th... | |
| Passlabs Aleph 1.2 with CJ Tube 17LS/16LS Preamp I had a long discussion over phone with Passlabs people and they reckon and strongly suggest that even a 1,000 ohms output impedance out of any preamp will not upset the Aleph 1.2 whose input impedance is only 10,000 ohms provided, a quality inter... | |
| Passive Stage preamp vs Active Stage Preamp I agree with Aisip. I use an Audio Synthesis "ProPassion" which is dual mono, single input, single output. This is a killer device. You need a strong drive, i.e. above 6V to get the max and when this happen, god bless you. | |
| Tube Preamp shoot-out Why no one has considered Cj. Try the Premier 17LS - its a killer at that price esp. used at Audiogon. I feel the Rowland 5 with B&W 802s + the cj 17LS will be a killer combo! The musicality of the cjs are top class. | |
| laid back, warm interconnects with tight bass clean highs Thanks to all you guys for your posts. I just spoke to George Cardas who says as follows:If the room has slight echo for whatever reason, go for the Golden Cross but if the room is soft, practically perfect, go for the golden reference. The bass o... | |
| Passive Preamp Problem I use a passive for the last 6 yrs. Its the "ProPassion" from Audio Synthesis - the finest I have come across.You can consider this, though a little pricey! But, sonics are a revelation. Look at www.audiosynthesis.co.uk | |
| What amps are the best for B W801/3?Help Solidstates work well, esp Rowland 8Ti. ML 336 or 33H will also do well. Krell fpb 300c too. You can also look at ARC VT-200 or even Ref 300 tube amps. I use 802M & after 7 yrs of SS amps, I'm now seriously considering tubes for my setup. SS h... |
