| Does Conrad Johnson 17LS match Threshold T400? It will be a good match.You should give about 2kilobucks for the amp and same for the pre.Cables, you don't need no stinking cables.

I only pay for what I can hear. I can hear very very minor differences with the power cords, but non... | |
| Threshold s150 or Forte 4a amplifier? The Threshold is in a different class, even though it's A/B. Not that the Forte is not a good amp too but, in my less than humble opinion that's a no brainer!loontoon | |
