| Are Meridian Pre-Amps Awful or Something? The "Bose thing" is about the worst thing you could say in audiphile circles, fighting words:) | |
| Top ten tube preamps Hope to get a chance to hear that VRE-1 at RMAF - the reviews and owner comments have been bery positiive. | |
| Question for Merlin VSM/ARS Sonum owners Yup, why kept my Atma-spheres:) | |
| Joule Electra LAP 150, Noisy? Own the Joule 150 Signature Edition and is very quiet with my 89db speakers. Another option would be to consider the excellent Bent Tap-X AVC if you need multiple inputs or the Lightspeed Attenuator (the best preamp in my system)for a single sourc... | |
| Top ten tube preamps Of course I am a tube pre fan, having owned ARC, CAT, Lamm, and currently Atma-sphere and Joule preamps, and all of you are fans too, but I would suggest that just on a lark, and for only $450 you try a Lightspeed Attenuator if you have a tube amp... | |
| Question for Merlin VSM/ARS Sonum owners I agree with you comment regarding OTLs, yet the Ars is in many ways a great entry and exit unit with the Merlins. A solid recommendation any way you look at it, but not the last word in bringing out the Merlin magic. | |
| Top ten tube preamps I felt that way when I got my NAD 3020 - if only there were a last word in gear. I guess when it sounds just like live music, but I don't see that happening any time soon. | |
| Pass Labs XA30.5 and ModWright KWA150 OP, if tubes are out of the question for you, I would go with the Pass XA.5, it really does not get better than that if 30 Class A SS watts is enough to drive your speakers. | |
| Pass Labs XA30.5 and ModWright KWA150 Because it might still sound great with an autoformer. For instance, it is still a Class A, triode amp. But I do agree with the general idea (not based on any technical knowledge at all)that there is some dissonance in the idea of using an autofor... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso Signature vs. ARC REF 3 I do wonder what it is about the Aesthetix preamp that makes it so prone to comments like, "with the right tubes...." This label seems to have stuck in a way that you don't hear about other tube preamps (certainly not to the same extent), even if ... | |
| Slagle AVC Modules & Lightspeed Attenuator Well, I have spending a lot of time listening over the past few days, if for no other reason than to get over "new thing euphoria". I have also had two audiophile friends with good "credentials" come over for some listening sessions. All I can say... | |
| Help: My newly upgraded AA Capitole gives no sound Has Audio Aero left the U.S. market? | |
| Pass Labs XA30.5 and ModWright KWA150 I agree, though I have never heard the ZeroFormers with the M60s (don't need them), there is something about the very idea of it that doesn't quite feel right - even if they work. | |
| Rogue vs ARC I think Nelson Pass might agree as well. Roger Modjeski too. Now, when marquis pricing is connected to those "high-end" passive parts with the promise of taking you yet one step closer to the absolute sound (without actually getting you there) it ... | |
| Rogue vs ARC Tvad, I agree. I think circuits are much more important than parts in many, many cases. At least, they are more fundamental to the sound of a piece. |
