| backert vs sachs preamp Don Sachs preamp is a giant killer. Their cost relative to their performance is tremendous. Backer has modded equipment for me and he does good work. Sachs preamp is for sure cheaper with out of this world performance. | |
| My “Dream” system needs a preamp Disregard my prior post. I am awaiting my Sachs preamp the prior post is my Schilling the Truth preamp commentary. Sorry for the heat lagged post. | |
| My “Dream” system needs a preamp Just put a Sach's preamp into my exercise room system last note. Holy smokes, it is a terrific preamp. Clean, clear, spacious with nary a hint of solid state etch or grain. It's a great preamp period. For the money, it is stupid good. | |
| DAC plus Preamp or DAC-Preamp or DAC-Volume Control ? Mine just arrived. I put it in my second system and was stunned at the tonal purity, visceral impact, clarity and soundstage. I typically listen to tube preamps. This unit does not sound hardly anything like solid state. Sounds a bit like a we... | |

Using molded Ampzilla 300 wpc monoblock amps, Silverline speakers, a modded Aurilac Vega dac and modded Oppo disc player.The PCA 2 preamp is a stellar performe... | |

| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? Tunis' silver plated copper cables. They sell here on Audiogon, are very reasonable pricewise and sound superb. | |
| Magnepan Crossover Mod Approach? Josh - I have not considered moving up to the 3.6 or 3.7; I can certainly go and listen to them at a local dealer near me and hear the latest model. Thanks for the suggestion. | |
| Magnepan Crossover Mod Approach? There is nothing that I really dislike about the speakers. I had my boehringer outboard x-over rebuilt for my emerald physic CS 3 speakers and they improved considerably. I am pursuing a bit more top end extension and transparency; the mod can be ... | |
| Magnepan Crossover Mod Approach? Thanks for your responses, cautions, and emails. The input is very much appreciated. | |
| Emerald Physics 2.3 or Magnepan I have had the CS 2's and currently have the CS 3's; also run the magnepan 1.7's on my reference system with a 140 wpc tube amp (Canary). Both the CS 3's and the 1.7's are run with subwoofers. In that configuration, the 1.7's are giant killers for... | |
| Know anything about the BSG Technologies QOL? This piece of equipment certainly has piqued my interest. I have a very resolving, highly musical, clean sounding system with great detail and imaging: Canary monoblock tube amps 140 wpc, Canary monoblock tube pre-amps, Magnepan 1.7 speakers, Zent... | |
| Best speakers in the 3000 -5000 range Emerald Physic CS-3's once fully broken in with an upgraded Boehringer cross-over. Doug Jessie @ Asi_Teknology rebuilt mine. Holy smokes these speakers are now absolutely phenomenal. One caveat is that I run them with a subwoofer. The upgrade and ... |
