| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Your last post is classic cherry picking... No you are cherry picking and must more likely have your back up over the "snake oil" voodoo'ist statement I made.

| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? He couldn’t even bother to wait for JA to post a response to his question, he had to immediately come here and post a click-bait thread on the subject. Really!!!!, I was asking the question, " Looks like Stereophile may be cutting back on expens... | |
| Classe moving up to power amp from integrated? You may want to keep the Classe CAP-101 as a preamp it has preamp outputs. And that Ca-2300 looks the goods to mate to it, if it's in your price range.https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis8j6eb-classe-ca-2300-made-in-canada-with-sr-black-fuse-s... | |

| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? bestdiyguy1 posts That’s well put for a first time poster, I like your rationale behind most of what you said. I hope you can last in the "sometimes" cesspit of "snake oil" threads that pop up here. As there is too much "snake oil voodoo" on thes... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? you went off half-cocked, and initiated a thread on Stereophile no longer performing measurements even though it was completely incorrect. Are you serious!!! (is this because I asked if you were a fuser.) that’s not even worth a response, but I w... | |

| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Regarding active versus passive preamplifiers, the world is big enough for both of them. Yes and I’ve always maintained that, and so does Nelson PassBut when someone of no acknowledged tech background put **** on what Nelson Pass says about passi... | |

| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Just an FYI.... Any F5 can be made to yeild 25 dB of gain very easily. Who cares. It’s not about you and your F5.

| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Saying that everyone that sells active preamps is just in it for the money and somehow that someone selling passives isn’t is as hypocritical as it gets. Yes I was drawing a long bow there, yes there is a place for active preamps when, poweramp... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Because I'm waiting for Ralph to explain the Aleph L to George? If he does, it better be the same as what Nelson sent to me a couple of days ago when I emailed him about it, otherwise your both out there with the fairies. Just go and have anoth... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? I'm not at all saying I could design the thing by a long shot. That's about the most honest thing you've said, enough putting**** on what Nelson Pass says about passives.Cheers George |
