| PS Audio PPP I had one. Had high hopes but it didn't work out in my setup. The PPP is like every other audio piece in that "your mileage may vary." It works very well in some setups and not so well in others. Nice thing is buying it used means you can try and ... | |
| Beatles Remasters: Mono vs. Stereo Debate Thread If I make the purchase, I'll take the stereo version. I'd prefer to hear the songs the way I grew up hearing them. | |
| anyone using piega speakers? Lofimike, like you, I've not heard the Piega speakers before, but you're getting varying opinions (3 in praise of them/ 2 critical of them). This reveals that the Piegas like any other speaker require careful system matching. I suppose the room fo... | |
| Tube preamp and McCormack DNA-500 Thanks again for all the recommendations. Which of the above preamps leans more in the direction of a smooth tube sound as opposed to leaning more to a smooth solid state sound? Example: I've read that the Modwright Swl 9.0 sounds very good with t... | |
| Tube preamp and McCormack DNA-500 Bnrlaw and Tvad, I'll consider your suggestion. I like that cherry cabinet on the Peach II on sale now, wish it was an original Peach. | |

| Tube preamp and McCormack DNA-500 Thanks everyone, and any more thoughts are welcome... | |
| Tube preamp and McCormack DNA-500 Tvad, thanks for the detailed posts and good looking out. The Lamm LL2 was off my list already because of results I saw posted by another DNA-500 user. As Steve said about preamp output impedance specs, "lower is better, at least in this regard." | |
| Tube preamp and McCormack DNA-500 Need a second set of pre outs for subs. | |
| My system acts weird This was a couple years ago but the APS back up battery began to lose its charge, but in APS' defense they were very good about responding and taking care of customer service-related issues, including replacement and refund. The Premier decreased ... | |
| Tube preamp and McCormack DNA-500 "First what have you been using before?" Haven't been using any preamp before; just got the 500. | |
| Tube preamp and McCormack DNA-500 I also need 2 pairs of preamp outs. | |
| My system acts weird Living in a condo where you lack flexibility with improving your power your best bet is to try the APS, and or the PS Premier. I have had both, and preferred the APS 700 but did not keep it. Both of these devices are most likely system dependent l... |
