Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition
@mikem   Its all part of their mystique..  Yeah well about 40% of the total listening time I do in a year is done in the next 2 weeks and so now I risk have no music whatsoever. Seems like its not worth the BS, I don't know.

@tyray  It’s hard to explain until you here it. It’s an after effect of the sublime, spooky quietness of The Truth preamp. Owners of The Truth preamp know what I’m talking about. Yeah and that has me curious but it seems like people mention p...

@mrdecibel interesting. I don’t claim to be technically proficient but I’m curious as to what it was about the transformer coupled designs you didn’t like. as for “do I want a passive” the answer is I dont know. I, personally don’t care about fi... 
Advice for Amp to Drive Klipsch Forte IVs
@russ69  Nothing wrong with this. Although 6 db might be enough but as long as you can get the volume you need/want it's fine.    My line stage cooks tubes so tubes issues come fast. I do have a set of 6db I want to throw in but I never get a...

Odyssey Audio Kismet integrated amp.
I have a Khartago Stereo (with a few upgrades) and I love it. I can't afford Pass and I have zero desire for anything else. He has his detractors but I am not one of them. I hauled that thing to a friend's and we rocked the house with his 30.7's. ...

Thanks @donsachs  Merry Christmas!  
Advice for Amp to Drive Klipsch Forte IVs
@daodao 100% with you muisically and about Decware. I have Heresy IV;s running with an Odyssey Khartago with tons of upgrades. Unless I can someday get a pass amp I have no desire for any other amp. Word of caution, because this is happening in my...
