| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 Yup, there is that side of it too:) | |
| Do tube amps benefit from using APS? Do a Google Search: "Romy the Cat Pure Power 2000 APS" to read some interesting observations. | |
| Let's hear from Long Time Owners Fear that we are running out of time. | |
| need help with Merlin vsm mme for home theater I would call Bobby at Merlin, I'm sure he would be happy to guide you through this. Not sure why, but I can't recall hearing from anyone that was using the Merlins through an AVR, which doesn't mean it is not being done.... | |
| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 Owned the Aleph 3, 2, and J - and loved them, but I would describe them as amps that do best with speakers that are tube friendly - highish and smooth impedance - non are real current monsters, which is what I think a speaker like the Thiels or Ma... | |
| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 Cmalak, all part of the learning process for OP, and sometimes you just have to hear things for yourself to know for sure. The XA30.5 is a magical amp, but not magic, the Thiels simply need more power to play their best. It is a conondrum, I often... | |

| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Yes Jult52, it would be interesting to hear your comments on the BENT versus LSA, I have owned the TVC and AVC versions, and I think Clio9 has heard a Slagle AVC, as well as an S&B -based TVC. UNfortunately, I did not have them at the same tim... | |

| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Granny ring, just curious, what amps are we talking about? Tubes or SS? | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I thought "everything" was over priced when I heard the $135 Pot-in-a-Box (expensive Noble pots used on the vintage Audio Research SP-6) sold by Roger Modjeski. Given my two line stages at the time were in the $5-7k range a few years ago, it seeme... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Hi George. What do you mean by "not backwards compatible"? | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? What is the cost of the dual mono? I assume the Walwart would be the same. | |
| Thoughts from Joule preamp owners? Never heard the Tom Evans, though I would like too. I do wonder if the MKII left you wanting, if the SE will make the difference for you. I think if you really loved the MKII, you would love the SE even more, but I'm not sure it will bridge the ga... | |
