| high gain or low gain tube preamps ? Well the appropriate pre-amp gain depends on the source that you are using (how many V does have the signal that is coming in) and on the power amp that you are using - how much gain does it produce.If you are using a CD player with 2 V output (ne... | |
| Black Gates - Standard vs FK/Non-Polars You should first check the kind of caps that you are replacing and then to try to find the appropriate replacement. It will not produce big problems I guess but you may end with better results. Here is one useful article about replacing caps:http:... | |
| audio reseach ref 3 or krell KTC...? I never heard Krell KTC but I know some other Krell pre-amps. Audio Research I heard this year in London on the HiFi Show. It was a presentation of about one hour. It played in the Audio Research Ref system with Watt Puppies 8. Audio Research Ref ... | |
| What are the best CD Player around $3500? Give a try to Lyngdorf CD-1. It is cheaper than CDPs that you are looking after but should be as good as some of them. I liked very much its dynamics and openess ... Meridian G08 is more relaxed, very neutral - really good player. Naimd CD 5x I wo... | |
| Sonic Impact Super-t Amplifier I believe it is not so bad as Cdc described it. It depends with which speakers it is paired, having in mind the amp's very low output power (some 8 W or so).I think it is a very fine solution for a budget system.The safer bet is to try first the r... | |

| HT Receiver to 2-channel amp? I believe you have two issues here.The first one is the connection between HT receiver and your stereo pre-amp or integrated. What you should look after is the existence of so called: HT input or unity gain input on your pre-amp or integrated. Usu... | |
| Pass 150.5 vs. Pass 250.5 ? Glai,Thanks a lot for this comment. That was the kind of information that I was looking for.Which pre-amp have you been using during these tests ? | |
| Pass 150.5 vs. Pass 250.5 ? @Audiophile1I said that I would like to have more bass control than SE valve 300B provided - something that heavy SS amps like Bryston are providing. Whether Pass X-150.5 will provide the same class of bass control is something that I really do no... | |
| Pass 150.5 vs. Pass 250.5 ? Jond is right. At least partially. These Electra's can be driven even with 300B SE amp. I tried it at home with Audion 300B and I had quite good result with it. Very nice and open mid-range with quite good bass extension and excellent timing. The ... |
