| Best preamp 2k or under, new or used Thanks for all the recommendations guys. Found a couple dealers that carry Manley and CJ, so I'm gonna start there.I'll look into the EE minimax as well. Pass is trickier. Found a dealer, but no used, and I don't want to 'audition' their products,... | |
| Best preamp 2k or under, new or used You know, CJ wasn't on my radar, either. Adding the CJ to my list of homework to do. Thanks for all the input guys! | |
| Novice needs Mac Mini and DAC advice Just go slow, and start from the foundation, and work your way up.Focus on a good dac for now. Then move into a player solution that sounds good, and suits your convenience. Mac side, I've had good luck with audirvana plus and fidelia. Then, go to... | |
| Best preamp 2k or under, new or used Thatks wescoman. I'll do some homework, even if it means...gag...reading a 6 moon's review (not big on all their hyperbole). Sometimes, I miss writers like J. Gordon Holt. | |

| Classe' CAP-151,are there reliability issues? I have this integrated, bought it used, and it needed repair done in the first 5 months of owning it. Something about a bridge connector or some such that failed. Classe replaced the part for free, I just had to pay the repair tech to replace and ... | |
| ANTI-CABLES speaker cable vs Audio Arts SC-5SE Yes, tried both with my NHT Classic 4. The anti cables are good for the money. The Audio Art 5SE's are damn near reference quality to my ears, in the sense that they aspire to do exactly what they set out to do, do it in a musically positive way, ... |
