Other than that I dont care if I use it or not. I want to move towards pc based audio and have just started reading about it...here today actually.... | |
| good headphone amp/preamp? Thanks for all the input. Got some things to chew on here...and I need to get it right and think about how it will get the most use. Have bought too much stuff in the last year searching for improvements and its sucking up space and money.This iss... | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? I think many people like to crap on Mcintosh because it is a larger company owned by a conglomerate not necessarily because they have ever heard the equipment setup correctly. Mcintosh has a history and heritage and is a business adn to some that ... | |
| Conrad Johnson PV-1 I have been using a friends PV4 and 6 and both are quite good and have convinced me of tubes on the front end. They are older technology but well maintained. It is a bit warm but the midrange is great and it sounds right. I would agree for a good ... | |
| any comments on the YS Audio Experience A2 or A2SE I have one of their more basic tube pres from about 6 years ago and love it. I got it for a good price as kind of a test because I had never heard tubes and it was a cheap way in. Loved it and still use it in a 2nd system. I t has added warmth to ... | |

| Tubelike SS Power amp Stumbed over my old post and thought I might actually respond/update. At the time I wrote this I had never owned a tube amp. I had only heard 2 both very high end and beyond my means. I eventually mated a YS Audio pre and also a CJ PV6 (kept rotat... | |
| AntiCables v. Morrow? Bought AC for speakers and Morrow MA1 interconnects. Installed the ICs first. Breakin has been hairy as sound has been all over the place from initially sounding good to becoming brittle and biting then smoothing out some. Have to wait to see how ... | |

| Exposure 2010Sv NAD 375BEE Worth comparing?? FWIW Stereophile named the Exposure as a Class A unit. NAD wasnt even close. NAD will deliver much more power but nowhere near the clarity. If you want a HP capability better to simply buy a HP amp. You can get a decent one for $300...Creek, Music... | |
| CJ preamps? Thanks for all the input. I dont need a tt for this system. I had never heard a tube pre b4 and liked the sound of it although I understand that the sound of the early models in this series sound different than the later ones. Not sure if I would ... |
