| Significance of different components of audio ... IMHO your omission of the "critical" impact of a preamp and/or volume control, is typical of this hugely overlooked component.Like it or not, the signal path must run through some kind of volume control. And the Huge misconception that volume cont... | |
| Humming sub. Sounds like ground loop hum, if it is, cheater plugging the entire system is the only way I've ever been able to get rid of it.FYI, I've run in his configuration for quite some time without any problems. And with absolute silence. | |
| How to evaluate preamps? Oops, I just noticed I made a mistake in saying your source unit was pulling double duty as a passive preamp. In your case, it's not the variable output on the source unit, but your quasi-integrated amp, that's pulling double duty as a passive pre... | |

| How to evaluate preamps? Skushino,Your response about the definition of preamp doesn't make sense to me.You start off with a good point, as far as semantics go, in pointing out that the term "preamp" does refer to an active/amplified unit. Then your logic seems to go astr... | |
| How to evaluate preamps? Mikelavigne,For the record, I too have talked to guy extensively about his active verses passive unit.He confirmed, that in every case, to include his own experience, that the active "ALLWAYS" sounded better than the passive. I also inquired about... | |
| How to evaluate preamps? Mikelavigne, IMHO it's really not fair comparing the darTZeel pre with the Placette passive.Given the cost of both, the Placette active would be the only fair comparison. Although I've never heard the darTZeel, given it's reputation, I'm sure it m... | |
| How to evaluate preamps? IMHO, your premise that you're not currently using a preamp, is a common misconception.When defining what exactly a preamp is and what it does, as a bare minimum, it's a volume controller.So, what's really happening in your present configuration i... | |
| Do high level sub inputs really sound better? Thanks for all the inputs, I just ordered 16 feet of DH Labs T-14 to do the job. I'll submit a follow up thread on the outcome. Thanks again... | |
| Walkers SST silver treatment This question would be best answered by Walker. Give him a call. | |
| What Is The Send your Trivista to RAM for a full mod, you won't be disappointed. They've modded lots my stuff and it's worth every penny. | |
| Skips with CDR's I'd suggest treating all your CDs with Walker Audio's Vivid CD treatment. It's quite amazing. You also may want to try Walker Audio's Talisman, when combined with the Vivid, it's even better.I use both with outstanding results. It may not cure you... | |
