integrated to drive 2 15" passive subs
Eldarado. The subs are DIY and have 2nd order crossovers. Have a onkyo pre/power that drive the mid/highs. I am using one of the tape outs of the pre to the yamaha to drive the subs. Dont really want to convert the subs to active.Kedar

Thanks for the info Marco.Kedar

just the words I wanted to hear. Detail and clarity are more important to me than soundstage. Thanks MarcoKedar 
passive preamp matching
thats what I thought 2.0v and 50 ohms impedance seems to be common

thanks Jsadurni,hopefully I should be able to pick up the Mccormack. If not will try and get my cousin to part with his quicksilver linestage. That too seems to be a very good preamp. Or if not was going to opt for a mccormack RLD-1 or sonic front...

thanks Gregm. Looks like its going to be a lot of trial and error. I am assuming that the cd player has normal input and output values.

Jsadurni, many thanks for your input. Will now send time figuring out volts/impedance of various components.

Jameswei Read your post. Just wanted to know if it was a risk to use a TLC-1 with a B&K 2140 through 1m XLO cables. I wont have the option of changing the preamp in the near future. Also planning to use one of the tape outs to power a sub? The...

preamp suggetions for mid lvl system
Oregon, I would love to get one but that would mean changing my speakers. I have separate units for the mid/highs and dedicated passive subs for the lows. Hence two outputs to two amps. I wonder if its possible to use one of the tape outs of the P... 
old vs new
how often does one have to replace tubes on a preamp. If its once in 4-5 years would be worth while saving up for a tubed unit 
old vs new
dont see too many late model tube preamps below $1000 available on audiogon. Most of the bette known units are close to $2000. So if ones budget is below $1000 will it be 'safer' to opt for a ss preamp.

Oregon,read a lot of good reviews about it, but I need two outputs. I dont think the PL one or two has two outputs.
