Hi Wrm57, you are right.... looking at their web site the more costly VAC pre-amps recommend an input impedance of >300ohms, which would work for my amps. Thanks for your response.

Hi Wylmars. Of the amps you mention above I'd love to hear the Viva's . Listening to my 845 based amps (http://www.psvane.com/?Jkg/t845/) .The pictures don't do them justice. I think that when I've nailed the pre-amp issue They'll be fantastic. Yo...

Thanks for your ideas gents.Ralph, financially I like the sound of modifying the input to present a different impedence. Is this a "difficult" thing to achieve ?? I know that's a nasty question given the lack of info.Would both the mp1 and the mp3...

I'm pleased this thread has invoked some very interesting comments.Atmas, I like your explanation of why DHSET do what they do. Very easy to understand, it makes sense to me, especially in context of what the 45's and Duos did for me. I don't thin...

Charles, thank you for your encouragement. It reads as if it has plenty of DH SET magic, and I've read about people driving Sonus Faber Guarneris adequately as well so should be fine power wise.Phaelon, I think that its the original, I'm waiting o...

Hellooooo chaps. My greeting is somewhat enthusiastic because I have made a decision( for now :-) ). After much reading I'm going to try and find a Viva Solista SE integrated, second hand. There is one on Ebay now if I can negotiate the price down...
