| Harman Kardon HK 3250 as pre-amp? From my own personal experience using the PRE-OUTS on my Harman-Kardon HK 3470 receiver, which I use in the bedroom,You might get a little better sound quality. But, a receiver is usually compromised parts wise and sonically compared to seperates ... | |
| Does balanced interconnect sound beter than RCA? Balanced is clearly superior in my system! | |
| What is the advantage of a balanced interconnect? My system sounds more open, cleaner, clearer, and more dynamic using balanced XLR interconnects at my preamp outputs. No way would I go back to using RCA's at my preamp outputs.The differences are very obvious. | |
| Best Budget Preamp, whats out there? Iamcrazy111,Another suggestion: If you are interested in a DIRT CHEAP active preamp, that sounds really good, I'd go with a used Parasound P/LD-1100, P/HP-850, or an Adcom GFP-565 preamp.Cheap and good sounding! | |
| Best Budget Preamp, whats out there? Thank you, Bigtee.I agree with your findings 100%.I am glad other people are also willing to give the Adcom GFP-750 its due besides me!My next goal is to find a used Audible Illusions L-2 line-stage.I have heard alot of great things about it also!... | |
| Best Budget Preamp, whats out there? One more thing: The Adcom is a great value!Where else can you get true balanced CD inputs, true balanced outputs, gold-plated inputs and outputs, a full function remote control, an external processor loop for HT processors, a CHOICE OF ACTIVE OR P... | |
| Best Budget Preamp, whats out there? Exertfluffer,No offense, but the Adcom GFP-750 is not as bad as you make it out to be!I have tried and listened to several preamps in my, and in my friends systems, and we consistently prefer it over the others! Its not perfect, no preamp is, but ... | |
| Best Budget Preamp, whats out there? I agree with Sdcampbell about the Adcom GFP-750 preamp.An outstanding preamp for the $$$. | |
| What to update first: pre or power amp? After much listening, borrowing friends gear, and getting my friends opinions, I have to say that in my opinion and most of my friends opinions, speakers and preamps make the most sonic differences in a system. I personally was shocked that preamp... | |
| Does balanced interconnect sound beter than RCA? I HIGHLY RECOMMEND using balanced outputs instead of single-ended RCA's.In my system, there was much less noise, the hum was eliminated, the imaging and openness was better, and there was much more gain using the XLR's instead of the RCA's.I was v... | |
| SACD VS DVD-AUDIO Derekborowka,How do the SACD's and the DVD-Audio discs compare to one another sonically on your Denon DVD-5900 player?Which is generally sonically superior, SACD or DVD-Audio?Thanks for your response! | |
| Should I upgrade my adcom 750 w/black gate caps In regards to the Black Gate capacitor mod to the Adcom GFP-750, ask audiogon.com members 'Lmack' and 'Mitch2' about it.I think both of them had this mod done to the Adcom GFP-750's at one time or another. | |
| McCormack DNA-225 -VS- Parasound Halo JC-1 Monoblk I meant McCormack DNA-500, NOT DNA-225 vs the Parasound JC-1 monoblocks. | |
| Has anyone heard the new Parasound Halo preamp? Is the Parasound Halo P-3 preamp sonically comparable to the Adcom GFP-750 preamp? | |
