| Pre Amp or Amp Best Money Spent Tvad, I agree with you and the point made in the article (a good informative read); it is not as simple as power (maybe the difference between horsepower (watts) and torque - current) - I am aware of the other factors, especially with tubes. But I... | |
| Pre Amp or Amp Best Money Spent I think the better preamp is more important, as Narrod said "In general, the preamp will have more effect on sound than the the amp (as long as the speakers have enough power)." So yes the amp/speaker interface is absolutely critical and must be a... | |
| cat jl3 signatures vs. atmashere ma2III's I think you're in for a real treat. I think Ken thinks very highly of both those brands - I know he owns (owned) Wilson. | |
| cat jl3 signatures vs. atmashere ma2III's Samuel33, there is no question the CAT is one of the great amps, which does not mean you will love it more than any other, personal taste does come into this -- but it stands on its own as one of the great designs IMHO. | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. Is there an inverse relationship between equipment that can produce good soundstaging (the visual) and producing accurate and balanced sounds - ar the two at odds when designing an amplifier? a necessary tradeoff? | |
| Top ten tube preamps I agree that the Lamm LL2 was a very, very pleasing piece to listen to. I suspect very underrated, or at least too ignored. | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. Atmasphere, I usually agree with you, but I have know to many brilliant, interesting, and stimulating people who were disorganized messes in their physical space to say JGH may be as you describe, but it has little to do with his judgement of thin... | |
| Top ten tube preamps Does Shindo have any Northeast retailer? | |
| Best Small Speaker System You've ever Heard If you think the Merlin VSMs are small, than I vote for it. If you mean stand mounted, I would say the Harbeth HL5. | |
| Top ten tube preamps I haven't found anyone yet, but I also haven't found someone that has heard them either. | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. I miss the days of JGH, HP, irregular issues, no (few) photos and expensive subscriptions. Now the trains run on time and a year cost you $12. It does feel like we lost something. But you know, some internet sites are filling the void to some extent. | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I, we(?) all know what you mean. I got the itch and bought a few amps (3) while I've had my CAT JL2s, I sold all three and kept the CATs, so maybe, just maybe... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? That is a good question. One purpose would be to identify some of the best amps available for consideration. What would be even more interesting to me is to identify the best amp you have owned and what three other amps you owned or compared them ... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Hyperbole | |
| From Pass X250,5 to 350,5 : what to expect? The X series also doubles power, always has. But the XA is a better sounding design if sufficient power. The XA100.5 is wat more than enough power with the Revels for 99.99% of the time is most rooms. |
