| What is the Best Amp.... to Mate With the Townshend Allegri Preamp? It is a fine unit, but not for everybody ( passive in general, whether TVC or not ). Look at my recent thread on the Luminous Audio unit I own..........some interesting stuff by me, and a few others. | |
| Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp ) BTW...some of the cable brands we listened to were Audioquest, Cardas, Silnote, Kimber, Transparent, WyWires, Shunyata, Belden ( home made ), and the Benchmark cables. | |
| Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp ) @atmasphere I will never claim to be as smart as you, but I am sure betting my hearing is as good as yours, and I will leave it at that. Although this thread was about passive vs active, you are making it about single ended, balanced, and balanced... | |
| Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp ) @atmasphere I know you are big on balanced, as this is so very obvious. I AM familiar with balanced systems, for a very long time. As I mentioned recently, I spent some time with the recent Benchmark gear, where we did a shootout with several bran... | |
| Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp ) I have listened to passive units with transformers and find them to be round and colorful, meaning they are warm and the frequency extremes seem rolled of.

| Why I enjoy my Luminous Audio passive unit, vs an additional gain stage ( preamp ) I have gotten a few private emails concerning the Luminous passive products, and passive, as a whole. I wanted to update this thread, as to create more interest, and truth, as to passive driven systems. There is no question, that extra gain can gi... | |

| The truth...Anyone can consider themselves a consultant, of anything. So, whatever skill sets and experiences I have had through the years, what was most important to me, was my customer. It was my job, to analyze ( dig deep with music related questions ) each and every one; to find out what their experiences were, ... | |
| Brian Russell has passed away It is always sad when someone passes. I have owned many Bryston pieces, and used them in many systems I put together over the years. My condolences to the Russell family, his colleagues, and his followers. RIP | |
| The truth...Anyone can consider themselves a consultant, of anything. @twoleftears I discussed the situation with Tammy and Admin, about some folks like yourself, counting commas and making fun of the thread, so I thought it best to have it deleted. BTW, did you ever read my comment about the flip down stylus guard ... | |

| The truth...Anyone can consider themselves a consultant, of anything. I was asked by some other members here through private emails, to tell a few of my stories. I was encouraged to keep this going, but not necessarily, make it about me, but make it a group thing. So many here, have interesting stories and specific ... | |
