| Best Tubed Preamp For A Warm, Rich Sound, Yet Still Detailed and Agile I was speaking with Jeff Wells of Wells Audio, at length, earlier tonight. Turns out that he has two preamps coming out this summer which he said would produce world class sound paired with my existing Wells power amplifier. I think, at this point... | |

| Best Tubed Preamp For A Warm, Rich Sound, Yet Still Detailed and Agile Just came across this in a Stereophile review of a VTL preamp I thought worth looking into, and it also has me very interested based on the description of the sound. Again, though I would, have to wait for a used unit to appear, in the interest of... | |
| Best Tubed Preamp For A Warm, Rich Sound, Yet Still Detailed and Agile almarg, thanks for including that quote on the Herron. I've obviously heard of them but do not know a great deal about the company other than hearing many positives, in general. By that description, it certainly does sound like something I need to... | |

I'm trying to find the sweet spot between warmth and richness, without sacrificing too much detail and speed. I particularily appreciate your thoughts as you and I share, I think, somewhat similar t... | |
| Best Tubed Preamp For A Warm, Rich Sound, Yet Still Detailed and Agile The amplifier that I will be using the preamp with is superb, but not well known, which is why I failed to mention it earlier. It is the Wells Audio Innamorata, which is single ended with an amplifier input impedance of 50k ohms. | |

So now I need an amp too. markmendenhall, can you describe a bit more about t... | |
| PSB T3 Owners - Tell Me About Your Speakers - Considering Purchase - Can't Demo Them itzhak,You are absolutely correct. The 300 would not be correct for my size room, and the salesman dutifully pointed out that the PL200 II would be the proper speaker. And again, they were still too analytical for my tastes. I am surprised to hear... | |
| PSB T3 Owners - Tell Me About Your Speakers - Considering Purchase - Can't Demo Them Itzhak, I pent some significant time auditioning the more expensive Monitor Audio PL300ii earlier this week. They didn't have the PL200ii in stock but told me that, per the manufacturers rep, the two speakers had virtually the same sound. Very nic... | |

But only the original poster, who just purchased th... | |
| Best 845 Tubes For Art Audio Carissa? I would ideally like to go with the Psvane TII or the Shuguang Natural Sound 845T, but again, need to be sure they are comnpatiable with the amplifier. | |
