| Feedback on Audiogon Snofun3, you are probably right about the value of the ratings. I usually don't pay too much attention to them, if any. I go by my gut instinct based on how the person sounds, how interested in the hobby they seem, and other intagible factors. For... | |
| Feedback on Audiogon I was not referring to the feedback, I meant to say that my personal dealings as a buyer or seller have all been positive; true it has only been 6-8 transactions, but overall I deal with audiogon members with a high level of confidence - not that ... | |
| Cat JL-2 I bought mine new. What about the experience are you interested in knowing? | |
| Feedback on Audiogon Oh. I forgot to mention; the information and entertainment value of the site is priceless. | |
| Feedback on Audiogon I think Audiogon provides an extremely good audience of potential buyers at a very reasonable price. If it goes to supporting the folks who run and maintain the site - it is money well spent. All my transactions have been positive, and I have met ... | |
| Passive Preamp? Check out the thread at: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1159194844&read&keyw&zzno+regrets | |
| Passive preamps: What are the relevant numbers? I got that as "general rule of thumb" from the manufacturer of my passive - but I don't know the technical reasons. I do know that the higher the input impedance of the amp (the 100kohm typical of tube amps seems to be ideal) the better, it is - a... | |
| Passive preamps: What are the relevant numbers? In the context of your system, it seems the low output impedance of your CD player should be able to drive the amp. I'm not sure what your amps input impedance is, but if it higher than 40Kohms you shuld be fine. I would expect the Rotel's output ... | |
| HELP Digital bad, vinyl good??? I have to admit I did the very same thing. Was I happy when I figured it out... | |
| "Budget" preamp choices. I recently replaced my CAT SL2 Ultimate ($8,000) (a "dynamics" champ)with the Placette RVC ($1,000). I did not make the move for financial reasons. The Placette does not lack dynamics when paired with my CAT JL2 Amp (100Kohm input impedance and .8... | |
| Could this be a Major Breakthough ? It might certqainly help in the low end of the market (car, iPOd), this kind of approach is hapless in the high-end. | |
| Could this be a Major Breakthough ? No.... | |
| "Reference" Preamps Ghunter, I wanted to share my experience with Placette with you as you are considering your preamp change. I owned and loved my CAT Ulitmate MKII (? one of the best) and purchased the Placette passive RVC as I wanted remote volume control and more... | |
| Do preamps make good headphone amps? The Placette Active Pre is said to have one of the best headphone amps. | |
| Audio Logic 24MXL compared to Audio Logic 34MXL Posbwp555, until a week ago I had a very similar system to yours - Audio Logic 24MXL, Cat Ulitmate MK II, and CAT JL2. I use an ARC CD3 MKII as a transport and Merlin VSM-MX speakers. Two months I bought a Placette RVC and I sold the CAT pre after... |
