| BAT preamp owners VK3i is older, it was superceded by the VK30.The VK3i IMHO has a slightly veiled sound. This was my experience with the one I owned. At the used price points, a very fine preamp regardless. As with any preamp, system matching will tell all.I have ... | |
| I'm a little stumped Why are you stumped? Your system sounds better to you than what you heard......be happy! Think of all the money you don't have to spend.Best,Paul :-) | |
| Best Soundtracks Try the soundtrack from "Patriot Games"This will quickly show you how your system is. ;-) ;-) ;-)You'll thank me later.Best,Paul :-) | |
| A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help No HT preamp will do what a good 2 channel preamp will.It just doesn't happen.Best,Paul :-) | |
| A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help If I were you, I'd buy a cheep HT reciever, some sats and a cheep sub. ORRun the DVD player through your 2 channel system.I went through the high-end HT thing. Never again.Well-done 2 channel beats computerized algorythms and electronic hogwash.Fo... | |
| Tube pre's that work well with Levinson 334 I found an impedance mismatch with the Pass X0.2 and Levinson amps. BAT VK50SE worked good, but not a match for my current speakers.Classe and Levinson preamps both have the same output impedance. You can "flavor" your sound with these.I ended up ... | |
| Cd player for the Levinson 38,332 and B&W S805? Levinson 390S. It betters CD playback systems that cost far more. "Ask me how I know". Find one to try, you won't be disappointed.Best,Paul :-) | |
| Worst mismatches in equipment: your warnings Pass X0.2 preamp to biamp Levinson 33H and 336.Impedance mismatch. Both great products however not good together.Best,Paul :-) | |
| Aerial Acoustic Model 7Bs vs. Model 9s? Why folks often equate Aerial and HT is a mystery to me.Michael Kelly has made some lines to cater to the HT crowd, however the 8'a and 9's are quite musical.As Greggadd said, the 8's were a 10t with a smaller footprint. Musical speaker nontheless... | |
| Speaker Choice for a larger room Where are you? I'm in Massachusetts and have 20t's in a big room, you want to hear them you are welcome to come by if you live in/near this area. I had Maggie 3.5's a while back. Loved them, but love cone slam more.Best,Paul :-) | |
| B&W Matrix 800 I had Matrix 800's. These want all the power you can throw at them. I biamped with Levinson 33H up top and a 336 on the bottom, through a Bryston 10B sub crossover. They still could have used more power. Be prepared for the expense of making these... | |
| Guilty Pleasures? Dread Zeppelin.Led Zep meets reggae with a twist of Elvis.;-)Best,Paul :-) | |
| Best Redbook player with XLR outs I had the BAT VKD5SE player for quite a while. It's easy to live with and sounds good.Consider!Best,Paul :-) | |
| Ditch HT? Upgrade help please... I fell into the HT trap some years ago. I had all the toys, and got rid of it all and went back to straight 2 channel. No HT preamp/processor I tried got straight 2 channel right.Now I may be biased as I'm an old-timer and used to GOOD 2 channel.T... | |
| Anyone know the Yamaha CA2000 Amp? Your post is somewhat vague, however I'll take a shot.I believe you are referring to the CA-2010 integrated amp, if I am correct, then you'll find this link useful:http://www.yamaha.co.jp/manual/english/Best,Paul :-) |
