| How Much Preamp Gain is Too Much? Sounds to me like you have it figured out and just want some reassurance.You are correct on all fronts, no need for gain, almost all CD layers can drive an amp to full power, passives perform better or as well as actives when properly implemented,... | |
| Stereophile Rated the Sqeezebox Touch Class D Ozzy, you missed the point. You are beyond worrying about what Stereophools think.

| Stereophile Rated the Sqeezebox Touch Class D Here we go again with a bad case of audiophile anxiety.Stereophile releases their ratings and some poor audiophool gets all wound up because they didn't bless what he bought and likes. I too used to be that way. My component dropped into class B o... | |

| Can anyone tell me how my amp compares? I looked at your systems listed and no mention of a Jolida? Hard to give advice on a good upgrade if your system isn't listed.. | |
| Lamm LP2 and WE417A tubes I have never gotten even a whiff of "marketing-ese" from them.You are correct, continuing to use the name Western Electric in their description of the piece when they have no intention of using them is not a whiff, it is a stench.. | |
| Cartridge Output Level Question had a concern that the 0.3 mV output would require him to turn the volume up on his receiver significantlyWhat is his concern?There is nothing to be concerned about as long as he doesn't get in the situation where it is all the way up and not loud... | |
