Do preamps have a material affect on high level sources?
Atmasphere, can you name a few, as I am sure your preamps will be on the list ? Isn't that a benefit of true balanced designs ? 
One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All....
Whether the application be for live, in the studio, or in the home listening, we, the audio community, would never agree on a single one anyway. As listeners, we are all different, and we all want what we like. And what each of us likes, is not un... 
Which speakers for a Yamaha A-S2000
Klipsch Heresy IIIs, based on your music. They are a fun speaker. Enjoy ! MrD. 
Do preamps have a material affect on high level sources?
I have had the opposite experience as initforthemusic. I hear more emotion, more soul, more dimensionality, more involvement, of my music. The start and stop of the musicianship ( prat ) has never been better. No more editorializing, no more color... 
Do preamps have a material affect on high level sources?
kalali, you really are a very sensitive person. You comment on so many issues and so many remarks made by posters, and you seem to take things quite personally. Did you have a poor childhood ? Just sayin'. As far as the necessity of a preamp, it w... 
Nuforce STA200
To both jetter and abery ( and anyone else ). Although I am not using my pair of STA 200s in my main system, I do believe it is an amazing little amplifier. I also believe I have as much, if not more, experience than most, in using the amp with se... 
Amp for LS50
b_limo. I like the gear you found and I am very familiar with those pieces. I am jumping in here based on the use of Dynamat inside electronics ( before Dynamat, there were other materials I used ). I have been into resonance and vibration control...

I went passive a year ago ( Luminous Audio Axiom II, Walker Mod, 3 in, 2 out, single ended ), and never looked back. Enjoy ! MrD. 
HELP!!! I need a “GOOD-CHEAP” preamp solution???
A year ago I purchased the Luminous Audio Axiom II, Walker Mod, 3 in, 2 out, single ended, remote unit ( New, under $1500 ). I could not be happier. Enjoy ! MrD. 
Altec A7 yay or nay?
Very familiar with the Altecs, and have owned the Khorns and am a Klipsch Heritage fanatic. In a home environment, imo and ime the Khorns are much better. I believe you also own other horns, if I am not mistaken ( Oris ). Enjoy ! MrD. 
Looking for more transparency.
A year ago, to achieve greater transparency in my main system, I rid myself of two top preamps ( both imo, superior to your PV11 in transparency ) and went passive. I am only saying this because it has worked for me. There are debates, considerati... 
Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably?
SQ=Sound Quality 
Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably?
HEA=High End Audio. I have had so much gear in my lifetime. What is interesting was / is the transition of the " hard wired " power cords on most of this vintage equipment, to the now widely use of IEC inlets. One of the many tweaks I did on all o... 
Speaker vibration control device
Look up on Amazon = Rubber Door Stopper / Bumpers. $10 for package of 4. Originally to prevent door knob damage to walls. I use them on many items. Enjoy ! MrD. 
i am starting to think Audiogon profits off the spam...
I have been reporting these as spam, and move on. No big deal. I still get marketing calls on my cell, and I have protections / walls to prevent them. MrD.
