| What do you think about this cable company? If you get free use of the product with the expectation of being able to buy them at a deep discount, then you definitely have a financial interest in the product. If you had gone ahead and actually evaluated the cables you wouldn't being doing a ... | |

| volume/transparency ? Steakster, what volume levels are we talking about? Do you have access to a SPL meter? Also what is the size of your listening room and how far are you sitting from your speakers? Measured decibel levels at the speaker and at the listening positio... | |
| XLR vs RCA I believe the Pass Aleph line used a single gain stage in a fully balanced configuration. | |
| Separates vs. Integrated SDT99, it's more of a practical issue than anything else. There's no physical or engineering reason why someone couldn't build a 500 watt per channel tube integrated amp with phono preamps and enough power supplies to put a smile on Twl's face, bu... | |
| Separates vs. Integrated Separate components will always offer the potential of superior sound, but as a practical matter the better integrated amps give up little if any to comparably priced separates.The main disadvantage of separates is the interconnects required to li... | |
| I'm Getting Unbalanced About Balanced Herman, balanced and single-ended only apply to analog signals. It is perfectly possible for a CD player or D/A converter to have truly balanced analog output signals.Balanced has its virtues, but it has a downside of requiring a doubling of ampli... | |

| Any experience with the Pass Labs Aleph 5??? The Aleph 5 is a wonderful amp, but it may not have enough power to fully drive your Sony speakers. I use the Sonys in my bedroom system and I consider them a very good speaker and one of the hidden treasures of high end audio, but they like power... | |
| Jeff Rowland Concentra II Phono Boards Any Good ?? I went from a Pass Aleph P/Ono combo to using the Concentra I w/ phono and while the sound is different (primarily a little warmer and not quite as fast), I would say that there was no drop off in overall sound quality. So in direct answer to your... | |
| high-end vs. ultra high-end amplifiers Interesting observation, but I think you've drawn the wrong conclusion. It's my opinion that once you get into truly high end amplifiers (say $5,000+), then personal preferences begin to dominate what people consider better or best. As such, it's ... | |
| Amp/Preamp Synergy for 6K Used There's a front cover review in the latest TAS. I've never seen or heard the product and I'm only suggesting you consider it based upon BAT's overall reputation. It certainly does look good on paper. Obviously any integrated must represent some le... | |
| Where are you at on the curve?... I'm far enough along to not worry about the differences between the MkII and the just released MkIII. There's so much hype! | |
| Amp/Preamp Synergy for 6K Used Rather than separates, consider going with the new BAT integrated. It has tubes, phono stage, remote and it fits within your budget (new w/ warranty). Assuming you like the BAT family sound, synergy clearly won't be a problem. It will also allow y... | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em I agree with Drubin. The audiophile universe is quite small to begin with and to excommunicate someone for a differing opinion will virtually insure that our small group remains that way. It's possible that some A'goners like it that way -- maybe ... |
