| Any experience with the new EMM CDSA SE ? Is there a sonic advantage to using the low gain setting assuming it is sufficiently loud? Better S/N, etc. | |
| best solid state preamp from Audio Research? Well, that should narrow it. | |

| Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question. Masilu, we must choose what we like and all our preferences are different and we are entitled them - no doubt. But it seems to me that Bobby has received too many best in show, or ten best in show acknowledgments with the Cardas GR array to sugges... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I would think so, as in essence a fully open ouput with a variable output CD player would be the same (I think)as a regular CD player with a fixed output and you would be controlling volume with a superior attenuator than what is built into the CD... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Terry, the AA Tube DAC has been in your system quite a while, it must be something very special since I suspect you have been trying to find something to take that "next step" and the AA has held up against som tough competition. Seeing how your s... | |
| Thought on OTL tube amps Granntring, that is how I hear it. We must own one of the several dozens. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Is it the case that one a digital volume control is fully open, no attenuation, there is no loss in resolution? That was my understanding, but I am not technically proficient. | |
| Thought on OTL tube amps Sounds like the Spectron approach would lead to broadbase good and the Atma-sphere to a narrower range of as good as it gets - certainly a market for both approaches. With my speakers its the OTLs I would go with, with Thiels or B&W, perhaps t... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Anthony, if I read Ralph right, "Not to mention we haven't even discussed cables and as Ralph Karsten so often states, the coloration/artifact added by cables also has to be taken into account." what he has been saying, and given the fact that he ... | |
| Thought on OTL tube amps Yes, let's not get into the issue of whether or not Bernings are or not OTL technically, they do seem to be in that camp to most users, and very fine sounding amps to boot. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Just to avoid confusion, I do mean the Berkeley DAC. | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Teajay, I am not sure if you mentioned it earlier, but have you had a chance to hear the BDAC? I was that close to getting one before I went for the EMM single-box, but the BDAC does seem to be getting many good comments, and hard drive connectivi... | |
| Thought on OTL tube amps With my speakers, Merlin VSMs, the Atma-sphere M60s have proven to be the best all around amps for my taste, up against a few amps I have had in rotation in my system, the best of them being the CAT JL2, Pass XA30.5, First Watt Aleph J, Music Refe... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Anthony, I agree. There are many reasons to own a full-featured, robust active preamp and yes, even the "audio jewelry" aspect is as legitimate as any other reason for prefering a piece of gear. What I am missing is the "active" argument solely on... |
