| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition avanti1960, exactly the opposite, I have long found to be the case. | |
| Line Stage Preamps that blew you away $2500 Edition Search out Aric Audio for gear and accolades on forum threads...you will be rewarded with your efforts. Better yet, call him! | |
| MCINTOSH MC601 VERSUS PASS LABS X350.8 Zorro- I have had the following McIntosh SS amps, MC150 MC300 MC501 (monos) MC601 (like yours) I was a Mac guy for years until I bought the Pass XA60.8, then the XA 100.8, and then the XA 160.8. Once I heard what Pass did better than Mac ... | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier You are not sounding harsh, and your English is far better than many of the native English speakers that haunt this forum. I am merely suggesting that the Threshold is a fine solid state amp amp that might be a better candidate for a moderately pr... | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier The OP appears dead set on a Pass Labs preamp, despite many suggesting otherwise for a multitude of reasons. Allow him to learn first hand as we have all have(unfortunately) done in our individual pursuit of audio nirvana. | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier I went from Pass Labs preamps to Aric Audio's original Motherlode preamp and could not be happier! Work with Aric at Aric Audio, he will build you a beautiful sounding and looking preamp to pair with the Threshold amp. I have a Coda Model 16 amp a... | |
| Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier Pass amps are fantastic! His preamps, in my opinion (and I have owned two) are anemic and not very musical. | |
| In house for review: AricAudio's Super 300B SET amplifier & Western Electric 300B tubes Customer service and attention at its finest...good on you, Aric! | |
| Coda Class A Amplifiers Purely aesthetics, and personal preference. I went with the silver face and no meters. | |
| Coda Class A Amplifiers I have had both the Pass Labs XA60.8's, as well as the XA160.8's in my set up. I now have the Coda Model 16 in the rack and I would not consider going back to either of the previously mentioned Pass amps. It is THAT good! | |
| Aric Audio Super 6sn7 Linestage And for what it is worth, for some time I was pairing The Motherlode with a pair of Pass XA60.8's and it was much more than a great combination. | |
| Aric Audio Super 6sn7 Linestage You would be wise to reach out to Aric. I originally worked with Aric several years ago when he built me a MM Phono Pre. After taking delivery and seeing build quality and hearing the sonic differences of that and my Pass phono pre at the time, I ... | |
| Tube Preamp - What to buy? I strongly second Aric Audio! I have had, Mac, Pass Labs, Don Sachs, and ARC, to name but a few. I have the original Motherlode, but his mid level gear is what drew me into his line initially. Give him a call...he is great to work with and a credi... | |
