| Spectron vs Parasound vs Cary vs ? Stl114..do yourself a favor and give the Papa 802d what it really deserves. Lots of power!! The best and one of the most powerful amps on the market under $10K is the Sander's Magtech amp and it will drive the 802d's with such aplomb and majestic ... | |

| Audible Illusions vs CJ preamps: sonic difference? Its been awhile since I listened to a CJ Pre or AI-m3a. Many years ago a friend of mine and I brought his VAC amp and CJ Pre to Advanced Audio on a Sunday afternoon in Tacoma and listened to the AI m3a with an Ayre amp and a Wadia CD player throug... | |
| Accuphase preamps Dave 72..The A-46 will drive any speaker down to a 1 ohm load without breaking a sweat..the amp will always maintain large power reserves and never run out of steam. | |

| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? For those who have listened to the Playback Designs MPS-5 Player, it did a very poor job on Red Book prior to the summer of 2011 when the player had a major firmware upgradefor Red Book last summer. The firmware upgrade is downloadable from the in... | |
| Anyone auditioned Pass Labs XP-30 preamp? Audiofeil..where is your brain?..I think you have too much mold in your bong. I was referring to solid state only relying on solid state engineered designs 35 years ago. I never brought up tubes vs. solid state. Thats another subject. | |
| Accuphase preamps Having listened to the Hegel P-30, it would be a waste of money to go for the Accuphase. The Hegel is warm, rich, full with great resolution and very smooth. In its price range there is nothing out there that can beat it. Don't take my word for it... | |
| Anyone auditioned Pass Labs XP-30 preamp? Peterayer..I have heard the Hegel P-30 and the H-30 mono-blocs hooked up to a pair of Amphion Argon7-L speakers. Stunning..rich..full..warm..very organic..very tight with outstanding bass. Have you noticed how different solid state Pre-amps sound ... | |
| Accuphase preamps Nvp..the one thing I don't like about the Bryston amps is the way they mount their speaker binding posts on the back. They are not fastened on the rear cover wall of the cabinet, but instead they are placed through holes on the rear then attached ... | |
| the best 'tubey amp - warm,smooth,liquid' ? Relax..I'm not dumping at all on Joe. Supporting the US economy? Give me a break. Do you buy only audio components made in the U.S.A.? I doubt it. Everyone of us owns gear made in the States, Asia and Europe. However, I plan on putting together a ... | |
| Anyone auditioned Pass Labs XP-30 preamp? Your missing the point..the less noise and distortion thats achieved in a well designed Pre-amp means far less interference to the music signal that is passing through. Feedback designs have more vibration and noise problems which is why we use he... | |
