| Seeking advice on how to improve my system Power regenerators *MAY* dramatically improve your sources and pre, depending on how bad your AC quality is. None will be able to handle the Levinson amp. You could definitely consider an AC filter for it though (try before you buy!).Dedicated AC ... | |
| Sonic Frontier or Modwright 9.0SE for Aragon Amp The SFL-1 is indeed tube, but not ALL tube. The signal goes through a Burr Brown analog volume control integrated circuit. It's used only to attenuate, not for gain. But if you're seeking true 'tube' preamps, I'd look elsewhere.That said, I did ow... | |

| stepped attenuators Nonoise: If you're constrained to 5 settings, you can probably have the input sensitivity of your amplifier altered by the manufacturer or a good technician. This is typically very easy, and can potentially give you (almost) full usage of the volu... | |

| BAT VK31SE and the VK55 For what it's worth, Dgarretson and I have modified our VK amps (he has a VK-75SE and I have VK-120 monoblocks) extensively. The VK-120s are excellent stock, but a few modifications transform them into amps I'd put up against monos costing $25k a ... | |
