| Highest value pre under 1.5k used? You may have to stretch that budget to get all three. I just bought a NIB old stock Zesto Leto preamp. Sure it was more than I planned on spending but it was worth every penny. I have long said the preamp is the most important component....ma... | |
| Buying a used amp ATI 1506 or Linn Chakra c5100 or RBH SA-200 ATI makes great amps. They are an OEM builder for many companies. When I think RBH i think speakers ...not a bad thing as they make good speakers. Amp is made in China though ..... My vote would be for ATI . Made in USA. Excellent... | |
| Considering the Pro-ject Box CD RS2 Transport ? You might want to read this, first. Can totally relate to why you were turned off. I love my RME DAC, it sounds incredible but it is 1u , half rack width ....it’s tiny and it’s ergonomics leave a lot to be desired. Same deal, you have to hold it with one hand to use it from the f... | |
| FM Tuners I have a Magnum Dynalab MD 102 and a Fanfare FT1a. I had a MD 90 and sent it in for repair. They gave me a trade in offer on the 102 I couldn’t pass up and I’ve been enjoying it for seven years. I listen to FM every day I just picked up a... | |
| Quicksilver (Non-Remote) Linestage & Croft Micro 25 Basic Preamps That input source "crosstalk " happens on a lot of equipment. Best bet is to mute or turn off other sources. | |
| Who makes great active preamps ? Tube or solid state or hybrid. Zesto , they are phono stage specialists but their Leto Preamp is phenominal.... I mean perfect tonal balance, true to life ... everything you may read about them is true, incredible sounding preamp | |
| Just installed a bluesound node 2i , quality not so good I have a Vault 2i, its been great, although I have been using it with a DAC since day one. Sounds good for the money. I was a late adopter of digital files and streaming and it was perfect for me , and to archive my CDs. I would definitely bu... | |
| Kal was right! Awesome ! Enjoy and provide some feedback after some time with them | |
| Anyone else treated poorly by AVA? When you commission any type of custom build , you need to expect and accept delays.... especially post covid. I fix medical equipment from mfgs all over the world. They say 3 weeks? Plan on 6. I hate telling customers that their $20k swiss mi... | |
| The Proverbial "best amp" for Focal Sopra No. 1 I was checking out the 5300 a few weeks ago.... nice unit , but if you can swing the 8900..... "buy once, cry once" I always say. Holds true for most everything but audio gear ! | |
| CJ PV12 or VTL TL2.5 My suggestion...if the preamp you are using isn't bad or broken save a little and get a CJ ET3SE if you are leaning CJ | |
| CJ PV12 or VTL TL2.5 I have a CJ Classic 2SE thats about 7 years old and it has been perfect.....as long as you put a rugged tube like Gold Lion 6922 or Reflector 6n23 eb , they sound good and last long. Its bare bones, no tone or balance ...just power , source and... | |
| CJ PV12 or VTL TL2.5 What model CJ were you interested in? | |
| CJ PV12 or VTL TL2.5 Nothing wrong with VTL, unless you need service.....theirs is the worst customer service ever.... especially if you buy used. | |
| Highest value pre under 1.5k used? What do you need for feature set? Remote? Dual pre-out ? Balanced? |
