| PS Audio PCA-2 Preamplifier - Characteristics? A very nice unit that was not on the market long enough to make a name for itself. I would describe it as having good detail and able to present tone and textures well above its pay grade. I would not tell you that I have "golden ears" but with th... | |
| PS Audio PCA-2 upgrade replacement options Rocket, I meant to suggest Signalcable. I am very happy with both performance and appearance. I do not disregard Element Cable but I have not tried their product. Peace | |
| PS Audio PCA-2 upgrade replacement options Rocket, you are fortunate to have a local dealer to work with. I in audio wasteland, hence my "proceed with caution". I admit that I have given some thought of listing the HCA-2 on this site. They are one of the better values for $700, give or tak... | |
| PS Audio PCA-2 upgrade replacement options I picked up the PCA-2/HCPS and HCA-2 when PS Audio discontinued them a few years back, later I added a MF X10v3 tube buffer in the loop. My speakers are 25 yr. old Vandersteen 2C. I also added AirMatrix XLR's and Silver Resolution [better!] IC's. ... | |

| What is the best SS used amp for $1k or less? Jazz is in the sweet spot of my PS Audio HCA-2. I also have a MF tube buffer in the loop. Worth consideration for 1k. | |
| Best value speakers available Vandersteen, new or used they are a huge value. My 2c's are 25 yrs. old and sound better with every upgrade. I suspect most Vandersteen owners do not approach the the performance limits of their speakers due to placement and setup. They will revea... | |
| Amp/Tuner: Best tubeless amp under $1000? I leave my PS AUDIO HCA-2 on 24/7. If you select your cords with care playing to your system strengths and weakness you can't go wrong. Around $700 used should be about right. It draws very little power at idle. |
