| I asking for suggestions in choosing a pre-amp [that won't "break the bank". What budget won't 'break the bank'. | |
| Looking for my first tube amplifier, help appreciated. The spec you are looking for is the output impedance of your pre. The input impedance of a audio device (in this case the amplifier) should be at least 10x (some say 20x) that of the device feeding it (your pre). Given your budget, I am with mattm... | |
| Vincent SV-236MK I believe you would have to go with a SS amp that mates well with our speakers and tube pre that mates well with it to get the job done. | |

| My most remarkable service experience ever. Wow! That is truly over the top service. | |

| Anyone have honest opinion of Jolida amps? Thanks Wolf. I have and will talk to the Jolida people prior to having anything done. They have 4 packages for this pre I believe. IT has been my experience that they are good to deal with. | |
| speaker and interconnects, how nice do I need Forgot to mention, I think you have put together a fine system. I heard and thought the X12s to be great. Read the X14s are an improvement and easier to drive. | |

| ***Advice Needed***Choosing Between Mini & Midi Monitors The soundstage and imaging on the X12s I heard were fantastic. Could walk into the soundstage. | |
| Anyone have honest opinion of Jolida amps? Wolf, you are likely knowledgable regarding the Jolida factory upgrades. I was thinking of having my Fision pre upgraded. Not sure which upgrade offers best return/$$ spent. Any thoughts? | |
| Balanced interconnects vs. Analog You can buy a 1m used pair of XLRs and resale them if they don't work out. | |
| ***Advice Needed***Choosing Between Mini & Midi Monitors Having heard the X12s and thought them to be great driven by a 130wpc SImaudio integrated. I read that the X14s are somewhat better (and as robr mentioned easier to drive). I would have suggested them right away based on sonics however was not sur... | |
| Current NAD integrated amps, what are your impressions? Thanks ben! I was going to look them up. It seems to me that the amplifier load that these 2 speakers represent are similar with the Rainmaker being slightly more difficult.I believe the B&W 685s are somewhat easier to drive however not excep... |
