| VTL 5.5 preamp? Many thanks for the info...will be auditioning one soon. | |
| Plinius M8 or M16 preamp ? which one ? I too own a SA102 and recently used a CD LAD pre. Cannot say I've heard the M8 or M16 with a SA102. IMHO, the SA102is quite a clean and neutral sounding amp and I was looking for more of a tubey sound....so I bought a VTL TL 2.5 preamp. This is a ... | |
| Best midrange on SS amp ? Have to agree with Ken, Plinius SA102. I use mine with a VTL preamp. Have tube-like mids. Very balanced throughtout. Good luck. Mark | |
| Best Used SS Amp For VTL Preamp? Not sure on your budget, but my new VTL TL2.5 preamp($1950) works very well with my Plinius SA102 power amp. Great synergy between the two units. Good luck. | |

| Lamm ll2 preamp + Plinius sa 102 amp = matching? I'm not sure on your budget, but I'm using the VTL 2.5 preamp with a SA102 with excellent results. Later on, will look to go for the VTL 5.5 preamp. Very good synergy between the two units. For my front end, I'm using a Wadia 301 cd player and A/Q... | |

| wadia 301 owners? Not sure what your partnering gear is, but I'm using Plinius amps and it performs very well: very detail, but cultured, great bass resolution, big 3D, imagery was very good. I've tried it direct with my SA102 power amp, but performance dropped. Th... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Have to agree with Ritten, my Wadia 301 is the best moneyI spent on hi-fi gear. Through the whole musical scale, it's superb. Have to say, but, works better with a preamp.Directly into an amp, you lose some weight in the music.Go for balanced opti... | |
| Jamo Concert 8s upgraded to another s/mount. Thanks Reubent. I've heard some good reviews on the De Capos "i"s. They seem to major on scale and neutrality.With the Jamos, the highs do seem to be bright, and I'vebeen trying to tame them without any success. They do have great bass extension f... | |
| Bent Audio passive pre with SA 102 amp. Thanks Dave, of your experience with Bent Audio.I'm considering the new NOH passive pre, with the new casedesign. The importer in NZ can customise to your needs, andI'll probably go for a balanced in/out version.I'll be using it with a Wadia 301 c... | |
