| Is there a killer preamp for 1500? Mingles, as you appear to be potentially open to a SS solution, you may want to have a look at the JRDG Capri pre--which includes a remote control. At $2500 new, it is often offered used on Agon below your celing price . I currently prefer it to m... | |
| speakers for classical music Selfdivider, your kind recommendation is a little. . . how should I say. . . uninformative. Why don't you tell us how these speakers excell in various aspects and subgenres of classical music reproduction. Thanks, G. | |
| ARC Ref 3, Rowland Concerto, or Capri line stage? Hi Dave, yes, I believe ICs were twin sets of balanced PAD Anniversaries. . . used the same on Ref 3 and Capri. they were a real 'drag' to connect them to the Capri without the poor thing toppling over from the weight of them. | |

| ARC Ref 3, Rowland Concerto, or Capri line stage? Visited with my friend (Gayle) in Austin and did some more informal a/b comparisons of JRDG Capri with the ARC Ref 3. Capri was powered through a Shunyata Anaconda Helix Alpha. No PC1 external PFC device was used, as I prefer the Capri without PC1... | |
| speakers for classical music "until you have heard all the tube amps in the world its hard to say that they all sound the same isn't it?"Very true, a premature induction step is a dangerous thing. . . likewise, unless you have heard all SS amps. . | |
| speakers for classical music Hi Dave, my only concern would be a very steep volume up/down. If a pre were to increase volume only by small fractions of a Db per step, even a muscular amp may work on some high efficiency speakers. . . actually Capri pre comes to mind, doesn't ... | |
| speakers for classical music Not quite, High efficiency speakers may also be driven by low power SS amps to good advantage. Case in point, Avantgarde has designed and offers the Model 3 SS 30W class A/B push pull device with feedback loop, optimized for its speakers, even equ... | |
| speakers for classical music Jsadurni, doing a valid a/b comparison of Avantgarde with Mahlers on the same system may be a little challanging. . . Vienna speakers like to be driven stoutly with high current / high power amps. Avantgarde need to be driven gently with nimble lo... |
