| Best preamp match for Air Tight ATM-3s ? Try an Airtight preamp; there is one for sale right now. The VTL 5.5 is a great unit, too. | |
| Down to 3 choices - opinions requested A used Audible Illusions Modulus 3A or a VTL 2.5 would be better than any of the ones listed. | |
| Reference 3A De Capo or Rogers LS3/5 ? Move up to a larger sized cabinet speaker. The poster that recommended Harbeth is on the right track; consider the various spendors. The Spendor 2/3 is an excellent speaker and works well with a tubed amp of 20 watts or more; well, a quality tubed... | |

| help building a new system on a budget... Jolida 102b is maybe their sweetest sounding integrated amp; tubed design with EL84 for output tubes. Stock used examples are about 400. Replacement of stock tubes makes a big difference and they are not that expensive; ie, the tubes. Replacement ... | |

| Audible Illusions Modulus 3A an upgrade? I'd suggest a used VTL Ultimate which is a better preamp than the Audible Illusions. The VTL can be fitted with an excellent tubed phono stage for not a of money if you find a used linestage. Tube upgrading in the VTL is easy unlike the Audible Il... | |
| I need a pre-amp with a mc amp. Beware that the Audible Illusions can be picky about NOS tubes as the unit runs tubes very hot. Used VTL Ultimate is a better preamp than the Audible Illusions anyway, but costs more. This is a seriously good unit that can be fitted with a factory... | |
