| Music First Audio Passive Magnetic Preamplifiers? Pubul57, could you compare the TAP-X to your Lightspeed preamp? What are the strengths and weaknesses of the two? Thanks.I got a hold of a Bent TAP-X and planning to get an LDR preamp of my own later. | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Threshold SA3, 50 watts of pure class A bliss with just a couple of simple mods. But sold it in the 90's and still regreting it. | |
| Music First Audio Passive Magnetic Preamplifiers? Nigi25, I bought the Hyperion 938s when theyfirst came out in '94. Hope your enjoying the 968s with tubes. Hyps are some of the best speakers under $10k. | |
| Music First Audio Passive Magnetic Preamplifiers? They're both way over priced. Can't justify buying something that's been marked up like that. | |
| Happy with USB DAC? Some rambling included.. Also look into the dB Audio Labs Tranquility DAC. It uses USB only but it's a different implementation than Ayre or Wavelength. Whatever it is they're doing something right. | |
| Music First Audio Passive Magnetic Preamplifiers? Music First is definately the MOST overpriced passive preamp out there. And it doesn't have functionality of the Bent Tap X. | |
| Music First Audio Passive Magnetic Preamplifiers? Teajay, my understanding is that since he is OEM for Bent modidfied Slagleformers, he doesn't want to "compete" with manufacturers he provides parts for.

| Best Dac with USB input for $1,000 or less I was at the Lone Star Audiofest last month and listened to the Tranquility DAC. At the RMAF last year, I listened to the PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC. The PS group had better electronics and speakers with their DAC than dB Audio Labs did. I found th... | |
| Music First Audio Passive Magnetic Preamplifiers? Unfortunately, John no longer makes the Tap X autoformer preamps, but you can get his modified Slagleformer for DIY. | |
| Speakers with many drivers... I think the McIntosh speakers would be a nightmare to integrate properly . I haven't heard them but those who have that I know haven't been very kind to their sonics. In the past I owned the Mirage M1s that had six drivers per side, three in the f... | |
| External firewire hard drive to go with Mac Mini. Well, I'm not sure I would use Hyundai and Toyota as an analogy given Toyota's recent debacle. You may be surprised if you test drive the recent Hyundai's. Unfortunately, most HD fail within the first three years, and some in the first year. I thi... | |
| External firewire hard drive to go with Mac Mini. Thanks. Will look into the Fantom. How far do you sit from the Fantom drive when you listen to your system? Which model do you have specifically? I like the Seagate because it comes with 5 year warrenty, something no other hard drive maker can mat... | |
| External firewire hard drive to go with Mac Mini. Kijanki, no worries. Thanks for your input on the fantom drive. | |
| External firewire hard drive to go with Mac Mini. Would appreciate if people limit their posts to my original question and about the Seagate drive. | |
| External firewire hard drive to go with Mac Mini. Anyone have any problem with the Seagate drive and Macs like the guy I posted about above? |
