Which Line Level, Balanced Preamplifier?
As noted above, the BAT VK-33SE meets exactly what you are looking for in all aspects.  I have had mine for about 2 years, and it is truly fantastic.  It has recently been replaced with the next generation, model VK-80, and at the same retail pric... 
Reterminating Audioquest Hurricane HC
The right way is the only way when one wants the best and most proper outcome.  By allowing Audioquest to do the work it will be done properly.  That power cord is not just a single conductor for each, the positive and the negative.  Also, you wil... 
I can't believe this.
It doesn't seem that you have too many options, or maybe no other option.  I certainly would never do business with Tascam again.  And I would tell all of my friends the same.  I am sorry for your troubles and wish you the best in having them reso... 
Gallagher has passed away.
You are correct.  You are not hiding anything, and your opinion is fairly stated.   It is what it is.  It is your opinion. But I must disagree, the opinions that others hold is absolutely their prerogative.  I never profess that someone else's op... 
Gallagher has passed away.
roxy54   Couldn't you just have kept that comment to yourself?  A very nice thread offering great respect to a good person, and you have to go negative.  That's what is partly wrong with this world; people who hide behind the anonymity of the inte...

@kota1 BAT (Balanced Audio Technology) also has the HT Bypass function which can be selected to be used on any of the inputs.  As stated above, you can select Unity Gain so the processor controls volume for all channels and the 2-channel preamp is...

Nice conversation tonight. Benard Ighner  -  Little Dreamer   Most people don't know this artist.  I met him and he was kind to give me an autographed copy of a Japanese pressing.  Outstanding music and vocals. Joh Lee Hooker  -  It Serve You Ri...

Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl
I've done that Cat Stevens comparison.  And that is exactly why I buy a good number of reissues of my favorite albums.   Once in a while they turn out to be a let down.  The vast majority of them, however, are excellent.  I am a good customer of A...

Nice music being spun, guys.  I've been in the mountains and not at my sweet spot for music.  Good for my body, though.  Tonight is my High School 50 Year Class Reunion.  No music at home but should be a real hoot of a night. Have fun!  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@spiritofradio I played side 2 of both of my copies of Pink Floyd, Animals, today.  I must have been thinking of another album when I said that I thought it was on the bright side.  I found the original copy (an early pressing, right after it was...

I have an early copy of Animals as well as the reissue on Pink Floyd Records.  The mastering on PF Records and Legacy are the same (and the same 3 guys).  I don't know about any other parameters, though, such as plating and pressing.  My reissue s...
