Does anyone use Simaudio Pre with Krell amps?
The Simaudio P-8 is supposed to be an extraordinary pre-amp. I have the P-7 and the P-8's supposed to be a pretty notable step up, according to Simaudio.I pair my P-7 with a W-8, also from Simaudio as more than one review mentioned that the best s... 
Speaker match for Simaudio W8/P8
Just curious what speakers you finally decided upon? I upgraded my Simaudio i-7 to a P-7/W-8 combo and am loving it! With the P-8 it must be that much better! 
Review: PS Audio PS Audio Duet AC filter
Is the Shunyata Hydra 2 a better option if I don't like the emphasis on high frequencies that I get with the Duet? Or Running Springs Audio? 
P.S. Audio Quintet? Worthwhile?
Good to know it's not only me - I found that the Duet boosted the treble as well. I'm demoing one now and, while I like what it does in other respects, I'm not sure I can live with the elevated high frequencies. On some CD's its nice - makes instr... 
Review: PS Audio PS Audio Duet AC filter
Been a while since anyone posted on this thread but if anyone's still following this...I just got a Duet and am using it for my pre-amp and SACD player. It certainly makes things sound crisper, with vocals and instruments more defined. However, it... 
Best cables for Simaudio Moon system??
i was asking simaudio this exact question about my p-7/w-8 combo just the other day. Their response was that they don't recommend any one specific brand of cable as results are so system, room and personal preference dependant. they did say they h... 
Amp for Revel Ultima Studio 2s
Never got to hear the ARC Ref. 3 pre-amp, unfortunately. It was for sale used on consignment...I would be interested to hear it some day though. There seems to be a solid chunk of audiphiles who believe strongly in pairing tube pre-amps with solid... 
Amp for Revel Ultima Studio 2s
interesting insignt! Thanks!how did the ARC Ref. 3 compare to the Levinson Pre amp? 
Amp for Revel Ultima Studio 2s
On my first point above, I just heard from my dealer who said his 532h had a bad output stage, which solves the mystery of the poor performance I heard with the Mark Levinson 326S and 532h. Apparently it's not a synergy issue between these 2 ML pr... 
Amp for Revel Ultima Studio 2s
Tried out a bunch of diffent combinations of Mac, Usher and Levinson amplification yesterday. Aside from the fact that I learned that Mac is not the sound I'm looking for, there were a couple of surprises:1) The combination of the Levinson 326S pr... 
Amp for Revel Ultima Studio 2s
Nothing, actually. That's a good point! But when I heard the more powerful W-8 drive the revels there was a greater sense of control and space. So I guess I'm going from very good to excellent performance. 
Amp for Revel Ultima Studio 2s
Thanks for the input! A Simaudio P-8/W-8 is stretching my budget so ideally Id like to spend less.i do think Sim and the Studio 2s are a good match. a local dealer is selling an ARC Reference 3 and associated ARC 220 amp on consignment which I may... 
Amp for Revel Ultima Studio 2s
Is it best to stick with one manufacturer for the pre amp and power amp (eg. Simaudio P-8 pre amp and W-8 amp) or can I get better results by mixing a tube pre amp with a solid state amp (eg. Audio Research Reference 3 pre amp and Simaudio W-8 amp... 
Speaker match for Simaudio W8/P8
I have a Simaudio i-7 and am looking to upgrade to some combination of Simaudio P-7/8 and W-7/8. I just bought a pair of Revel Studio 2s and they are a fantastic match with the Simaudio i-7. Before buying the Revels I auditioned a whole bunch of s...
