| Good tube pre amp for a mostly digital system I agree that it's best to go with a seperate phono stage, that will give you a lot more preamp choices as well. Does that put the Cary SLP-05 back in the lead? That's supposed to be a very nice preamp, though I haven't heard one yet. Choosing the ... | |
| Good tube pre amp for a mostly digital system Well I've heard every complaint about BAT out there. Too transparent, too dark, etc. These are contradictory by the way. Too transparent usually means bright, and I know folks who think that BAT's are too dark, so it's probably a synergestic thing... | |
| Marantz SA-11S1 or M/F A3CD with M/F A324 DAC Well IMHO, the Marantz would be a significant improvement, but then I have to admit that the Musical Fidelity sound is not for me.The Marantz will be richer, more vibrant, more tonally accurate, IMO. The MF is probably more dynamic and transparent... | |
| Good tube pre amp for a mostly digital system Chazz, keep in mind that Mariasplunge is looking for balanced outputs for her Rowland amps. I think this would leave out CJ, AI, Hovland, Rogue, and many other tube preamps. Mariasplunge, if you're thinking about a tuner and a turntable down the r... | |
| Good tube pre amp for a mostly digital system I agree with Kurt, if you don't need SACD and redbook digital is your only source, grab a AA Capitole II and skip the preamp. If looking for a balanced tube preamp, the above mentioned BAT's, ARC's and Atma-sphere's can all be added to your list.F... | |
| Vinyl records grading scale Here is a start.Remember however, that any grading scale, whether it be the Goldmine or AudiogoN, is open to different interpretations by different individuals.John | |
| MAC Palladium IC's-Follow up, are they really..... Do you have any ties to Pcwizard? You have two posts on AudiogoN since joining in Jan 2007, and both are about MAC Palladiums. You also joined the Audio Asylum in 2007, and have 4 posts there, 3 involving MAC Palladiums.It certainly smells like a ... | |
| Changing power conditioner stock power cord You can easily find a power cord that will change the sound, however, only you can determine if the sound change is an improvement. An improvement in someone else's opinion, may only be different, but not better in your opinion.Most things in audi... | |
| B&W 803D or Dynaudio C2's Keith, yes, I have, as well as the 802D and 800D. As I said earlier, they are very nice speakers. The Dynaudio C2's are better though. I understand that all of this is subjective though, and that some may prefer the 803D sound. Not everyone unders... | |

| CDP voltage output...what does it mean to volume? This is getting all too confusing. Bottom line, 10 db SPL doubles the output. 70db is twice as loud as 60 db. 80 db is twice as loud as 70 db. 90 db is twice as loud as 80 db, etc, etc, etc.Amplifier power, twice the amplifier power will give you ... |
