| CD output voltage too high for preamp: what to do? Depends on how much the gain is reduced. My preamp has switches with plus or minus 3db increments. Even at the lowest level of 11db I am experiencing too much gain. | |

| Review: Audio Mirror D-1 DA converter In stock form the Audio Mirror D1 Signature is very analog sounding. It mates well with a tube amp as I used mine with a Cary V12i. The highs and mid range are very smooth and the bass is excellent. I have since had mine modified bt TRL and used i... | |
| Power Cable - what´s your best? Another vote for VH Audio. I have the Flavor 4 and love it. | |
| CD output voltage too high for preamp: what to do? I ordered the Endler attenuators in the 4k 24 step version. I am going to use them on the amp with my preamp in the chain feeding them. I did read in the PF review that used alone with a source feeding it, while the attenuators were very musical a... | |
| No nonsense Power Strip Quantum Q-bar is what I just bought and works well for me.http://www.quantumqrt.com/products.htmScroll to the bottom of the page. | |
| Bargain Priced SACD Giant Killer? I also have dealt with the person that Lkdog knows. He introduced me to the TRL sound. While he preferred the Reimyo to the TRL SA-14, the TRL NS-900V was another story altogether, which was enough of a statement for me to make me find a used NS-9... | |
| Best budget phono preamp? I have heard good things about the new Jolida from a friend who bought one. Paid $350 from Walter at Underwood HiFi. Uses 2 x 12AX7 tubes. He has the stock not modified unit. | |

| Aurios under JC1 monoblock's? Tvad - I'm not sure if this is going to take you where you need to go, but:http://www.mcmaster.com/If it is not a direct link, then type in "carbide balls" (sans parentheses) in the search box. When the navigation tree pops up on the left select T... | |
| Aurios under JC1 monoblock's? Perfectionist - the rubber pieces may actually be an interesting discovery for you. One thing about rubber though from what I have learned, is that the durometer rating could play a factor. Products like sorbothane or the rubber-based dampening pr... | |
| CD output voltage too high for preamp: what to do? In looking at the Endler attenuators they appear to be a replacement to the active preamp, not used with it. Am I understanding this correctly? If they indeed can be used with an active preamp to reduce the gain, these might be worth a try. | |
| CD output voltage too high for preamp: what to do? This is a bit of a curiosity for me. If the output of a DAC is 1.5V, is there a minimum input impedance the preamp should have to accomodate the DACs output? Does the preamps gain play into this equation? My preamp has 4 gain settings, 11db, 14db,... | |
| Need help Good advice by Jdombrow. I also was investigating SET amps recently and it became obvious there was nothing in my budget that was going to work with 88db efficient speakers. Since the speakers weren't going anywhere, I ended up going in another di... |
