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... 
How is the TacT RCS 2.0 as a pre amp vs
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 ... 
Great upcoming Los Angeles events

Coincident Super Eclipse and amp power
I've noticed that Wilson speakers, as an example, which have high efficiency specifications, are typically paired with LOTS of power via Levinson or Krell or equivalent. I'm sure you can drive them with small amps, but people seem to want big powe... 
Settings for PS Audio PowerPlant
Is it a mechanical hum from the physical component boxes or an electrical hum through the system? 
NY Reunion
I am sad to report that Joe Henderson died on Saturday 6/30/01 at age 64. He is one of my favortie tenor players. I recommend his State of the Tenor two volume series, which are live trio recordings. 
"Pace", it's importance for enjoyment?
Ken is referring to the Neuance shelf I just got. Thing is, Ken, the Apollo rack hasn't arrived yet, so it will be bit longer. 
"Pace", it's importance for enjoyment?
Let me toss out a couple of observations:1) PRAT is almost alway good on boom boxes and car radios and the like, typically better than on high end systems2) Good PRAT, such as on a car radio, often strikes me as BETTER than the real thing itself.T...
