| Preamp Connections - Balanced vs. RCA http://www.tweakaudio.com/Ultimate%20Attenuators.htmlYou can sometimes find them here used for $250 to $300. That is how I found mine. | |
| Preamp Connections - Balanced vs. RCA I had an X2.5, which uses a similar design to the X1. Even at the lowest gain settings I was getting too much volume. I used a pair of ultimate attenuators between my source and the X2.5 to drop the source gain, for an addition $300.Also, I found ... | |

| marsh a200s Warnerwh,I had a question about an Innersound preamp. I had to make repeated phone calls/e-mails to get a question answered. I contacted the OEM, Coda, and they answered my question on the first call.Your Innersound amp was also designed and built... | |
| Given my AMP and DAC, which preamp? I went through a number of tube and solid state preamps and ended up with a Placette passive for several years. I upgraded to the active and have been totally pleased. I'll second TeaJay's recommendation. The Placette active is the best preamp I'v... | |
| placette vs sonic euphoria I owned both units for a number of months. Both units sound neutral and render virtually the same amount of detail. I like both of them, but they dont sound the same. Ill try to describe the differences. The SE sounds heavier, with more heft and... | |
| Good match for PassLabs Pre X2.5 PP,The X2.5 has two gain settings, but the steps between each setting are 3 dB for both gain options. It sounded better to me with the low gain option.I replaced it with a Placette Active that has 127 steps. Not only did the Placette sound signifi... | |
| Good match for PassLabs Pre X2.5 I used an X2.5 with Bel Canto's Evo power amp with good results. It sounded best in balanced mode, but has extra gain. My main complaint with the X2.5 was that the volume steps at 3 dB each were just too much. It was either too soft or too loud.I ... | |
| Tube preamp for a Bel Canto eVo2 Gen II The Bel Canto Evo 2, Gen II is neutral and accurate. It's also fast and detailed. I would not call it a dry amp. I believe that Bel Canto used to recommend a minumim of a 10:1 ratio between the input impedance of the power amp and the output imped... | |
| PASS X-1 pre volume control I had an X2.5 that uses the same volume control. There is a slight audible indication when the volume is adjusted. I don't know what causes it, but I found it helpful in knowning that I had indeed hit the remote volume button correctly, espcially ... | |

| Opinions on the Bel Canto Evo 4 Gen II I've found the Evo to be very neutral and transparent. It is very fast and reveals inner detail quite well. After a while, you even forget that it's there. | |
| Apogee Stage/Mini Grand The Stage stands are a bit on the "cheap" side, construction wise. Even with the bases fully weighted, I felt that they could be easily knocked over.I duplicated the height and width of the Mini-Grand subs to retain the look and sound of the origi... | |
| Apogee Stage/Mini Grand The speakers are the same, though the Mini-Grand models tend to have a higher-end cosmetic finishes. I'm not sure if mounting brakets differ between the Stage with stands or the Stage with Mini-Grand base.I used my Mini-Grand tops with Stage stand... | |
