| Newbie Q: speaker cable length? Different OK? Thanks much, all. (with some humor.) Al, I’ve read your posts, and they make the issues clear. Thanks. The ones I’ve purchased are these. Pretty beefy; some 7mm cable itself (17mm with insulation). So signal loss within the cable should be pretty ... | |
| SS pre sounds like tubes @mitch2 , Can you tell me please, where the one you had is for sale? I may be interested. Is this the one in LA? | |
| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad Am I perhaps the only one to remember... Kurtis Blow, on your stere-ereo ?I want to say like 1980. For better or worse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZDUEilS5M4Don't shoot the messenger; I'm not a fan. But I remember this guy hitting the scene... | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? Thanks all, for all your thoughtful and detailed comments. It's incredibly helpful, and I've started a new bookmark folder just for these suggestions. A world of information here! Thanks a ton! | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? @jond , if you scroll down, you'll see the details below the top stuff. I like the thought, expressed here I earlier think, that buying the preamp is as hard as the speakers. Surprisingly to me, although budget is not unlimited, I find myself a li... | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? But not BP 0.5 or BP 1, I would presume? Good info. Would you imagine that staying within a brand is generally a better, more compatible way to go, in terms that they know what they're trying to achieve end-to-end? | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? Thanks hanfrac, Nice unit! I found it interesting that you felt the sound better out of this Bryston than a tube preamp. I had understood that tube usually added warmth to the system (a bit of a concern for me, as both my speakers and amp are know... | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? For any who may be interested, I got this preamp via auction. It's at least a good start, and may serve me for a decent point into the future. I am still highly interested in the possibility of building a tube pre, particularly in light of the dis... | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? Would this Dared 2a3c one be amp or preamp? And this Bottlehead BeePre 300B is preamp, right? If they are both pre's, I wonder how they compare? The Bottleneck thing really has my attention, and I would seriously consider that model. Compatible wi... | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? Thanks all! I've gotten a great deal from this group, and am grateful. OK, for the either now or future route, if reasonable money weren't an object, are there any additional recommendations? Michael, I am SO intrigued by the tube preamp kits. Whe... | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? Thanks Oddiofyi, great counsel. I have seen that unit on the web, and have it in my consideration/watch list. :) I will gratefully check out the McCormack, another name I've heard several times now, but haven't looked into. Thanks! | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? Mesch, would I understand you to be saying that perhaps (budget reasons) start with something temporary, but be prepared to a significantly higher outlay in the future? I would guess this is what I hear. If I went that jump now, any recommendation... | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? Topten, what is the difference between active and passive? And can tube be used with a SS amp? What would be the info, or link for this one? | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? Any opinion whether this one might yield higher quality front sound? Or the Casablanca?http://www.parasound.com/2100.php | |
| Recommendations please for good, affordable pre-amp for system? Sorry. Newbie in all of this. I actually don't know. Budget is perhaps $500 on down for real quality, and I would like a lot cheaper than that. And yes, on a search, I found some for $18k, which is what sent me here. My amp is solid state, so I wo... |
