| Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret? Doubtful that Jason will know off hand. He will have to contact the engineering team at the factory in Taiwan to get the answer. | |
| Running Benchmark AHB2 in bridged mode and 4 Ohm Speaker Simple answer is to buy one and see what you think. A second is just a click away at the same price. The top half of the Aries is not that hard to drive just like the top half of the Vandersteen powered models. My choice would be the BHK 250 which... | |
| Need Preamp and Amp to Match Vandersteen 3A Signature Speakers There is a Belles 350 on A'gon right now that will fill the bill. Just pick a tube preamp of your choice and the DeHavilland mentioned earlier is a good one.https://www.audiogon.com/listings/lis96dbg-belles-350a-solid-state?refsource=hifishark | |
| Triode wire or audio quest Triode Wire Labs. I use a full loom in my main system. Fairly priced, 30 day trial period and you can talk to the owner himself. | |
| My recent experience with 3 pre-amps - help me pinpoint the next upgrade. The JC-2 gain is only 14db at the maximum setting and you can turn it down to 4db so that is not likely the source of your problem.

| CD Transport that has I2S hdmi output, cheaper the better. If you know the people at McLean's see if they have the Nuprime CDT-8 transport in stock. | |

| Is Marantz AV8805 good enough pre amp for McIntosh MC8207 High end Marantz processors seem to be the go to choice with people integrating HT and two channel systems so it must be fine. Other options at a higher cost would be the Classe' SSP series. Unless you "need" all the extra channels of the 8805 yo... | |
| Any Avantgarde Duo owners in Atlanta GA? Jim was actually the AG distributor for many years. | |
| Is Marantz AV8805 good enough pre amp for McIntosh MC8207 Aren’t some of the Mc AV processors based on Marantz designs anyway? That Marantz should be far ahead of the outdated Mc offerings at a lot lower cost. | |
