| Pre amp for Merlin VSM se's and Transcendent Stereo 25 i just did a shoot out with rogue 99; arc ls2mk2 and joule electra mk3. i liked the joule better. it gave the music more texture. the bottom and top end were not as extended as the arc and rogue. arc finished 2nd; rogue 3rd. joule was more musical... | |

| help me select a single tube to "calm down" a preamp? my vote is an amperex bugle boy (select). call andy at vintage tube svcs. he sent one to me and it made all the diff in my ls2mk2. i had a siemans nos.....amperex killed it. telefunken would be a good choice too. good luck | |

| Which DTS Decoder??? i am not familiar with your equip. the way h/t equipment is falling...you might just go for a new receiver. i have seen some good deals on equipment here. dts has a 6.1 format now and i am sure dolby is around the corner. this would be alot less e... | |

| Perpetual Tech P1A i have used the p1a with a birdland oden-lite. did not find the upsample did much for sound...a little better but not worth the money. i did find that the cd enhance had a dramatic effect on the sound...to the good. i do not know what it does thou... |
