| looking for a quality integrated that allows for bypassing of the preamp section czarivey-----that's an odd choice for the circumstances. What's your thinking on that recommendation? I love vintage tuners but never have considered vintage amps. My thinking is the parts available today are far superior to the old stuff. Am ... | |
| looking for a quality integrated that allows for bypassing of the preamp section I don't mind switching the one pair of interconnects from an input to the direct input to the amp (I've seen this on some of the bigger Chinese muscle integrateds). The big Shengya and Xindak come to mind but these just never seem to be available... | |
| looking for a quality integrated that allows for bypassing of the preamp section paraneer----might there be a list of integrateds that allow you to disconnect the preamp from the amp section via jumpers? Thanks again. | |

| Upgrade from Emotiva XPA1 to Bryston 28bsst2 or Pass X350.8 I can't comment on either amp you're considering but I had a pair of the Emotivas on hand for a couple of weeks. I directly compared them to a Theta Intrepid and a Cambridge Audio 840W. Speakers were BG Corp 520dx or Meadowlark Audio Herons (hot... | |

| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? I don't respond unless I have direct experience with regards to that posted. I'm not interested in offering uninformed opinion nor am I remotely interested in reading that of others although their ignorance can be a source of amusement. I don't ... | |
| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? The usual suspects of the hallucinogens can make a listening session more interesting, or disturbing, or pleasurable..... but, by far, the most engaging substance to listen to SOME music on is Salvia Divinorum and consider that to be true with the... | |
| Is the Maestro AC outlet basically a cryo'd Cooper BR20 found at Lowes for $3.47? Greetings jea48:Thank you for the input. My response, more than anything else, was to defend the sound quality of the Maestro outlets. The original post seems to suggests that the Maestro doesn't compete with the Oyaides (and the Furutechs, of... | |
| Is the Maestro AC outlet basically a cryo'd Cooper BR20 found at Lowes for $3.47? That's certainly disappointing if the Cruze Audio Maestro is simply a Cooper BR20 outlet, cryoed and nothing more but.... actually, I wouldn't mind at all. I would buy a nice stash of the Coopers and send them off for cryoing and then have severa... | |

| can you alter the gain of an amplifier? I appreciate the input George. I have a good tech whose done repairs on my hi-fi for several years only an hours drive away. I'll check with him. Would you advise sending him the sources or the amps for modification? Thanks again. | |
| can you alter the gain of an amplifier? George, amps on hand include a Cambridge Audio 840W, a pair of Xindak XA8800MNU monoblocks, and a nice gainclone. Sources include a Cambridge Audio 851C, and both Modwright and Upgrade Company modded Oppo BDP-83SE's with the Modwright having the... | |
| can you alter the gain of an amplifier? Now, these are some fine responses. Al, your advice is ever highly informative and always a pleasure to read (in my posts and many others). Doug, you turned me on to bridging the Pathos Classic amps I have a Cambridge Audio 840W which I'll proba... |
