| Adding Placette for finer volume adjustment? OK, I made some real progress here & I am satisfied now.I used my little CI-Audio (Channel Island Audio) VP3 passive volume control ($300, with a great non-stepped ALPS "blue-velvet" dial that has a nice feel to it) and placed it between the p... | |
| Adding Placette for finer volume adjustment? Thank you Detredwings, I would have to think about modding this amp, voiding the warranty, taking a risk. But I'll think about it. It did cross my mind. | |
| tv as a pre-amp? Even for casual listening, the lack of clarity and background noise (that I hear) makes it not even mid-fi compared to even a humble preamp or integrated amp or even an A/V receiver.Get a cheap Onkyo A9555 for a few hundred $ and you'll be in much... | |
| Adding Placette for finer volume adjustment? Oh well, I didn't want this to be a discussion about my preamp here, but I feel I owe it to the Audiogon community to share my honest findings with them since I depend upon these forums so much.The preamp is an Apex Pinnacle (TAS reviewed it in th... | |
| Adding Placette for finer volume adjustment? OK, thanks. Again, I'm trying to keep my preamp in the loop here, rather than replace it with a passive pre. | |
| Adding Placette for finer volume adjustment? Feel free to PM me for more info or to discuss this if you feel like it. | |
| Adding Placette for finer volume adjustment? Thanks for the quick advice. I talked to the preamp designer and he said there is nothing he could do to the preamp internally that would not negatively affect the sound, and he suggested I try the attenuators (rothwells and goldenrods, which did ... | |

| Review: Joule Electra Marianne Electra Memorial Edition Tube preamp How many steps does the volume control have, and what is the gradation between steps (if you know or can judge subjectively)? Thanks. | |
| a good pre amp with remote usd6000 or less used Do BAT pre-amps get really hot?I've heard some nice systems at the NY shows over the years using BAT preamps (not a controlled experiment of course) but they sure weren't doing anything wrong.I just don't want something as hot as a power amp.Norma... | |
| Studio monitors for listening to music? I love the little Quad 9Ls. I have them and they are very natural. I use them on my computer. I also have the bigger 12Ls, also very nice nearfield with deeper bass and more depth in the soundstage. I feel no need to look further than the Quad act... | |
| Hooking DishNetwork receiver to amp=speaker noise? OK, I found a pretty good solution. I bought a little powered switching box that takes 2 RCA inputs and has 4 RCA outputs (not a cheap one, about $80 from a company called RF Link), sent the Dish audio output into the box, and the output to my amp... | |
| what speakers sound like von schweikert vr6 All the Wilsons I ever heard sound much different than VSR. The VSRs are much smoother in the mids/highs with much less fatigue up there, while the Wilsons have a very transparent detailed bass. | |
| Synergistic ResearchReference .5 Xseries SpkrCable OK these SR cables are very nice & are keepers. Very nice friendly bass, non-aggressive highs, smooth mids. Thanks for the help Jwpstayman! | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona vs. Cremona M again, I know Thank you Elviukai! The auditors really sound nice with a tube pre & a solid state amp. The tube pre really helps. I read & was told that they need stands, but I get great results with little 18-inch-high sturdy tables (firm, controlled, d... |
