| In need of assistance: integrated amp selection How about a Unison Research Unico hybrid integrated amp matched to a Linn, Arcam CD player, or maybe even a Sony SACD/CD player? | |
| Recommendations for Balanced Interconnect... Man, Peter you sure go through a lot of cool gear! But I see the ProAcs are still in your house.Which components do you like to match with your 2.5s? I've been using a Blue Circle preamp with a BAT VK200 on my ProAc 1SCs. I'll be getting a VK3i an... | |
| Matching preamp to amp Hi Kool. Yeah, It may be that the AI has a lot of gain. But its 1.2Kohm output impedance mated to the Aragon with 22Kohm input impedance actually works out to 18 times, so it's well within the 10 times guideline. I've heard people say the range is... | |

| Matching preamp to amp Clyde, what we've done is to give you a heads up on possible problems, because in most cases you shouldn't have a problem.My experience of impedance mismatching with the excellent Aleph 3 is a pretty well known issue and was corrected to a great e... | |

I've never taken the RCA barrels off though. | |
| Matching preamp to amp Marakanetz has it right.Usually the easiest way is to use the same brand, but that may not necessarily be what you'll musically like the best. Did that make sense? Heheh.Components within a certain brand shouldn't have impedance matching problems,... | |
| Can I nominate Sean please ? Wow, I too thought we were gonna nominate Sean for the California Gubenatorial Race, but after reading Sean's "acceptance speech", heheh maybe he should be getting an Oscar or a Nobel Prize!Brainwater, thanks for putting me in such fine company, I... | |
| need advice I agree with the above advice. If jazz and classical music are of primary importance, I would avoid a home theater set up all together. As Unclejeff said, a good 2 channel system will work well in conjunction with your plasma screen, satisfying bo... | |
| Preamps. Do we really need them? Pace, Rhythm, And Tequila! | |
| Subwoofers? Hey Theo, that's interesting. Over the years with every succeeding model change it seems that Velodyne has been targeting the home theater market with less and less emphasis on the music crowd. It'll be interesting to see how this new subwoofer li... | |
| What CDs do you use to evaluate gear, systems, etc I evaluate changes to my system with music I enjoy the most, after all it's those CDs I'm trying to heighten the musical experience of. Having an "Evaluation CD" I believe can lead you in the wrong direction, especially if that CD is just for that... | |
| Preamps. Do we really need them? If you're willing to try a cheap experiment buy the Luminous Audio AXIOM passive pre for $125. It has only one set of inputs and one set of outputs. The Antique Soundlabs T1 DT I have sounded a bit muddy in comparison.Tim will ask you to supply hi... |
