| Why Single-Ended? bdp2The Tim Paravicini-designed EAR-Yoshino tube circuits are all single ended, the pre-amps and power amps having transformers on the XLR/balanced inputs and outputs.This brings up an interesting concept that I have been thinking about. In the ca... | |
| Why Single-Ended? why do reviewers not "call out" the equipment manufacturers, with "fake" balanced connections?That’s true. We know from the review that the unit is not a balanced design. They could say "this amp has RCA and XLR inputs." | |
| Why leave feedback if the Audiogon team is just going to remove it? The seller may have asked moderators to remove your feedback by stating that he performed a legitimate sale.

| Why Single-Ended? Thanks for the comments, Al and Ralph.@atmasphere , on a side note, I discovered the Yr album by Steve Tibbetts in 1980 while working at my college radio station and flipped out over his music. We put it into Heavy Rotation. That's where I got my... | |
| Why Single-Ended? Thanks for the comments so far. When I referred to balanced designs I was talking about fully differential, not simply an XLR connection. I would include Peter’s designs wbere there is a conversion after input stage in the discussion. | |

| DAC for CD transport Right you are, George. My ARC reads the Redbook layer on hybrids. | |
| It is a good idea to purchase a vintage tube pre-amp. There are many new and used preamps in $2000~3000 range.First, some questions; what amp are using, do you want balanced or single-ended (RCA) input/output? Do you seek a warm, "tubey" sound or more neutral and transparent?You may not need to go ba... | |

| Do I need a power conditioner? It's very possible your system will sound best with the amp plugged into the wall and low-current components into the conditioner. I have two PC's that state that they are non-current limiting, but they compress the dynamics of my amp.It's worth t... | |
| Recording quality... mikeydee, you’re not crazy. I know what you’re talking about. Newer albums can have a clarity and level of detail that many older recordings do not have. Recording technology and techniques have improved in some ways over the years, and have decli... | |

| I'm considering replacing my passive preamp with a tubes. Is it worth it?
