| Who is using passive preamps and why? Anthony, I only got that chance once at RMAF to here the B1, it looked interesting. Did you here it anywhere else, or just that one day? | |
| Who is using passive preamps and why? Tvad, your VRE-1 isn't really a passive, is it? It simply has no gain, which isn't really the same thing - it certainly has buffering which, if needed, will overcome some problems presented to pure passives in the wrong system context, no? | |
| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM Thanks for the therapy:) But seriously, I do feel I am at a stage where I can stay with the MXe, love them, and not be looking for the next upgrade, especially one that would require selling the MXe. I look forward to hearing the Duelands..... | |
| Help: My newly upgraded AA Capitole gives no sound Geez, sounds like a good reason to by Audio Research if your going to pay more than $300 for a CD Player. Of all the components I own, digital and transports specifically, is the one where first rate customer service and repairs are most important... | |
| Anyone using Duelund VSF capacitor in Merlin VSM Seems like the benefits of mass and rigidity, to whatever degree they are so, or were ever an issue for the various iterations of the VSMs, has been known, or should have been known, for a long time, why implement that now? Whereas the Dueland see... | |
| Power output of tube amps compared to solid states Well, for whatever reason, tube amps sound better to me, and believe me I have tried several times to fall in love with an SS amp (all have been Class A)and they always end up going back and I go back to my tube amps. My speakers may have a lot to... | |
| Who is using passive preamps and why? Speaking of passives, has anyone had the chance to compare the SMc VRE-1 with the First Watt B1 - no gain, buffered "passives"? | |
| Who is using passive preamps and why? Put me on the list. Will you call it the Clio9? Not a bad name for a preamp. | |
| New production EL84/6BQ5 tubes? Where are the EL84 fans? | |
| Most powerful and popular EL34 tube amp? Now that Neo is alot of el34 power:) | |
| Who is using passive preamps and why? Anthony, I may have missed it, are you building a resistor attentuator? With balanced connections? | |
| Who is using passive preamps and why? Yes, many approaches to finding sound we like individually, why I will proabaly keep my Joule and Atma-sphere preamps, no matter how much I might like the Goldpoint - they will sound different, none like the real thing, but all enjoyabkle in their... | |
| Who is using passive preamps and why? Just bought an Goldpoint SA1 25kohm volume control. Proabably a more direct assessment than talk. Phd, see what you started:) | |
| Who is using passive preamps and why? Yes, Goldpoint seems to offer a range of Zin ratings, but have no idea how that effects the Zout or what would optimal for a 100kohm load. I like the "idea" of an RVC, it just seems a lot of less complicated with less wire and iron that the transf... | |
| Reference 3A If you want a good integrated for those speakers, I would look at a Jadis DA30, for less, the Master Sound DueTrente. That being said, if you could afford the Pass XA30.5 integrated, that might a very good match if you insist on SS -- what is your... |
