| Best Integrated for JM Labs Micro Utopia BE I used to own Diva Be and tried a few different amps including the Rowland 201. If you are set on integrated, I would suggest Mcintosh 2275. I think Jadis and Accuphase would be great too. The digital amps can be good but the treble of digital amp... | |
| Preamp: Cary versus BAT Cary is slightly warmer and darker than the comparable Bat. Bat has more detail. | |

| Passive Pre - No Regrets? TVC performance is still related to impedance matching. I had audiozone TVC passive which worked great with tube amps but was lifeless with pass lab amp ( inped 10K). You can look up the specs on S& B transformer in the desired attenuattion an... | |

| Tube Intergrated v separates 4k can they compare Second the Mac 2275, very dynamic with excellent built quality and sound. Does a great job driving Quad ESLs & Avalons. It gives up surprisingly little comparing to my bat 51se/ Pass 350.5 combo considering the price. One option is to go direc... | |
| Quads - Just a couple of questions Duane & Gregadd,would atma m60 have enought power for a 4 ohm load with less than 87 db? Would you need the zero-autoformer?Thanks | |
| Anyone compare the Bat 51se with ARC Ref 3? Wow, what coincidence! I have Avalon Diamonds. I am wondering about the ASR Emiiter I exclusive but no local dealers to audition. I am trying to refrain from buying unheard. I value the airiness and bloom from a tube preamp and ASR sounds like a g... | |
| antique sound 1009 Great amps. I regret selling them from time to time. It drove Avalon Diamonds and Quad ESL well. I did not have maintenance problem and they sounded great with Shuguang 845B and 845M. Very good texture and a lot of inner detail. It bettered Audio ... | |
| Air Tight ATM2 Direct Driven by CDP? I don't mean to highkack. I am very interested in the Air Tight Amps. How does the ATM1 compare to the ATM2. Is it easy to get repair work done if needed?Thanks | |
| KimberKable BiFocal-XL or Kimber Select 3033 I had 3033, monocle xl and bifocal xl. All sounded very similar. May be 3033 had a trace better base. | |

| BAT VK30SE OR HOVLAND HP-100 Owned Hp100 and Bat 51SE. HP100 highs are more sparkling and slightly more fluid sounding. However, Bat 51se bass is more powerful and presentation is more weighty and dynamic. Bat is balanced and has a lower noise floor. I would go for 31se if I ... | |
| Nordost Red Dawn with less brightness? I own both Frey and RSA cables. I used to own red dawn. Frey would fit your description. RSA is also excellent but further away to your description | |
