Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?
Bravo! 
Placette Passive Pre
I have the Placette active, which is a no-gain but active (fully buffered) version of the product. It is terrific. I imagine the purely passive versions could have trouble in certain applications, depending on impedence, length of interconnects an... 
How is the TacT RCS 2.0 as a pre amp vs
Lornecherry, with your SCD-1, you will feed the digital out for Redbook to the TacT for RCS and then either use its DAC or go to an outboard unit. But for SACD output, you don't have that option. You either need the A-D module in the TacT or you n... 
Best match with Proac Response Series
I have 2.5s and am currently playing with 3 different amps: CJ11a, Pass Aleph 3, and Pass X-150. You know what? The 2.5s sound wonderful with all of them. I wonder if it's possible to get this terrific speaker to *not* make music with any decent a...

I also have the dual mono active. When I get my new TacT, I will certainly try the configuration you describe 
How is the TacT RCS 2.0 as a pre amp vs
Interesting. However, the Placette and its Vishay resistors don't boost the volume, unless you ordered your Placette with gain (standard issue, which I have, has no gain). But your findings would apply anyway. Does anyone know if the TacT has gain...

Wow, then you can also use the Delius for volume control. Lots of possibilities.Interesting that you prefer the sound with the Placette. I also have a Placette, which comes as close as I can imagine to having no sound of its own. So I wonder if th...

If you can, hang on to your BAT preamp for a while and try it in and out of the system, see what you think. 
Maintaining an Even Keel.
I know I'm just asking for trouble, but why would a CD transport care if it 's not perfectly level. A turntable I understand, but a transport? 
$6000 Budget Which used Amp ?
Yes, you should definitely check out the Innersound. And I think you could buy two of them new for your budget. 
ML 39 w/Bryston amp and Thiel 2.3?
I owned a No. 39 for several years and did not have the reported problem with it, though I had other quirky problems from time to time. It's a very good unit but is getting a little long in the tooth. I have some experience with the MSB Platinum a... 
Advice on Phono Stage
If you haven't already done so, try experimenting with (1) cartridge set-up and (2) cartridge loading in the PH3. You may be able to solve your problem without replacing anything or spending a dime. 
The TURNTABLE seen on "Tomb Raider"
I sort of expect Red Rose gear to get placement in Sex and the City (it's "and"), what with Mark Levinson being married to Kim Cattrall. (How did he do that?)

I am in complete agreement with you on the Fletcher-Munson thing, 1439bhr. The high end has eschewed equalization for good reasons, but if Fletcher-Munson is true, we are giving up a lot for the sake of purity of signal. I happen to listen mostly ...
