| which amp is the most transparent? Congratulations, it sounds like you have a system you are happy with, enjoy! That leaves us with the title of your post, a question that is never fully clarified in the body of your post. Which amp? Transparent compared to what? Please explain fur... | |
| Personal amp evolution Crap, wrong thread! Sorry Streetdaddy, hope you had a great holiday! | |
| Personal amp evolution Streetdaddy,I think you listed a bunch of amps in a preamp evo thread. You might want to give it another try. Happy Thanksgiving! | |
| good music/poor recording, bad music excellent You're kidding right? Why listen to bad music no matter how good it sounds? Of course everyone's definition of "bad" is different, but I buy discs for the music on them, good or great sound is a bonus. | |
| Best cover songs? Steve Earle, "I'm looking through you" The BeatlesThe Waifs, "Don't think twice, it's alright", Dylan | |
| C.d player with built in Pre amps i.e Wadia Why only a digital volume control, a good analog volume control should be superior. Try Accuphase, Audiomeca, and Audio Aero. Also the Cary CDP's can have volume controls and sound quite good. Happy listening! | |
| Personal Preamp Evolution. Bryston B-60 (used thru pre-outs)>Air Tight ATC-1>Edge Sig 1>Supratek Syrah>Herron VTSP-1A>Deja Vu Audio Custom Preamp. | |
| Speaker cable upgrade Um how about telling us what speaker cables you're using and in what ways you're dissatisfied with them, rather than just telling us they cost $800? Also I'm pretty sure most would agree that there are no cut and dried numbers or ratio's in terms ... | |

| Best looking Amp/Preamp/Integrated? I really love the look of Hovland gear, especially the first preamp, HP-100 I think. | |
| Confused...not satisfy with my system : Avico,I didn't want to mention this and confuse things further but I am one of those "Pre people", that is in my opinion nothing influences a stereo's sound like a preamp. I can still remember my first tubed preamp years ago, an Air Tight ATC-1, i... | |
| Confused...not satisfy with my system : Avico,Sorry it's still not clear, are you using the Arcam player with your new system, or do you have a new player you haven't mentioned? If you are still using the Arcam your new higher rez gear may be bringing out it's limitations. Upgrading a s... | |
| What is the best band ever? The Grateful Dead! Honorable Mention: Uncle Tupelo | |
| New miles davis cd.... wow Quiet to very loud very suddenly is called dynamic range and a lack of compression. This can be inconvenient but it is indicative of a high quality mastering job. I'm not sure about the hiss you are hearing and I have no idea what version you boug... | |
| best sounding tube pre and ss amp youve heard. It's more important to match your amp to your speakers than your preamp, what speakers will you be running? Are you using Watt/Puppy 5's? Is the other speaker you mention a Dunlavy IV? Both would seem to want a pretty powerful SS amp, what's your ... |
