| Accustic Arts I've had my AA transport and dac for two days. I have been using the excellent ARC CD3 MKII as transport feeding an Audio Logic 24MXL DAC. I always felt that my digital front end was very, very good and decided to change just because of the hobby ... | |
| Anyone own a Running Springs Audio power cond. Does the RSA stuff isolate digital fropm analog components? | |
| Wilson Benesch Discovery VS Proac D38 My understanding is the D38 are voiced more nuetrally than the 3.8s - liking one may not mean liking the other. | |
| Does Audio Logic have a website ? Jerry does not have a website, nor does he advertise. He keeps his operation quite. If you are interested, I have a 24MXL that is posted for sale. I used it as a DAC with my ARC CD3 MKII, I think it improved on what was already very good performan... | |
| Passive Pre - No Regrets? Tbg, the nice thing about the Placette marketing model, is you can try it in your home for 30-days and determine how it compares with what you have. So they make it easy to answer the question for your self, directly, in your system, for your tast... | |
| Passive Pre - No Regrets? Well, I could not leave well enough alone. I got the Placette Active Linestage and it is unquestionably better than the passive - it took very little time to hear the improvement. That being said, the passive RVC is superb, good enough that I sold... | |
| Ultralinear and Triode. What's the difference The CAT JL2 uses a pentode tube (6550) in triode mode. I don't beieve there was any compromise made in choosing tridoe operation. It is one of the best sounding amplifiers I have ever heard. I suspect that design and implementation may count for m... | |
| Amps with low gain Guy (Mr. Placette) can provide you with a Placette RVC with the resistance built for your specific amp sensitivity - you would have plenty of flexibility in finding the right volume setting. | |
| BAT vk-52SE vs ARC Ref 3 vs CJ CT 5 I just replaced my CAT SL1 with the Placette RVC. I heard no loss in dynamics at all. I use a 1m Cardas GR between the Placette and my CAT JL2 Amp (100kOhm input impedance, .85mv input sensitivity). Done right (proper matching bewteen source and a... | |
| Passive Pre - No Regrets? I meant "tube" amps. | |
| Passive Pre - No Regrets? The active is coming this week so I will A/B them, but I'm not sure the active will sound better (that much better?)- but I am considering a Pass amp and I don't think the passive approach will work with them due to their very low input impedance ... | |
| Passive Pre - No Regrets? I'm not sure how it can sound any better the the Placette Passive RVC, but I have decided to buy their Active Linestage (based on some comments and conversations I have had with other members). If you are interested, I have put my passive RVC up f... | |
| amps for Merlin VSM-MXE Joule, Berning, Atmapshere are good,solid, traditional recommedations for Merlin. Cat Jl2 Used and Belles and SIM are also soldi rcommendations for the Merlins. I use the CAT with mine. | |
| Feedback on Audiogon Both parties have to agree? If that is the case the feedback is less than useless. | |
| Top ten tube amps I have owned and enjoyed Lamm equipment, and I do wish Vladimir success. But I cannot conceive of any justification in either parts costs, R&D, or sound quality that can justify a $120,000 for an amplifier. That does not mean that some well-he... |
