| Pass amp paired with audio research pre? Ouch! 😂😉 | |
| Pass amp paired with audio research pre? Bdp24:I suspect you’re correct. The LS 16 may well be the culprit. The reference 5SE is supposed to have a more dynamic sound, and will hopefully resolve this for me. Markcdaniel makes a good point in that may have to get away from the audio res... | |
| Pass amp paired with audio research pre? Thank you for your note. Obviously an option to consider as well. Had thought to stick with the tube preamp. Like the audio research stuff. But certainly in option to consider as well | |
| Pass amp paired with audio research pre? Thank you, everyone, for the responses. Sorry for the late reply. I’ve been traveling for the last two days ( 23 hour drive from Spencer, Iowa to Beaufort, North Carolina! ) Thank you for the discussion regarding input and output impedance. I lea... | |
| Pass amp paired with audio research pre? Atmasphere: Thank you for your note! Hypothetical. Trying to think about where I should go with future purchases. I live in the sticks. Not much opportunity to listen to other components. I try to read and ask questions. Been thinking about audio... | |

| Music reference/ audio research / vpi Thank you, pdreher. for your suggestions/feed back. Swapping out the KT-88’s might be an option too? And still thinking the Audio research reference 5SE or 6, with a reference phono 3 would be a nice preamp for me here. I may have to wait for the... | |
