| Atma-Sphere MP1 with single-ended inputs and outputs? Adapters OK? I use the Jensen isolation transformer, and the sound lose a lot of detail. I think the isolation transformer should have gain volume control and let you get the right gain after the transformer, as the signal will become weak if no gain increas... | |
| CHANGING FROM AUDIO RESEARCH TO AUDIO NOTE SYSTEM I prefer Audio research with Wilson speakers. | |
| Just received my new Luxman CL-1000 pre-amp. @hiendmmoe That's the update now on the soundstage. Also can you bear with the no remote pre? | |
| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? @roxy54 I think it is very important question for any listener. | |
| Tube sound Comes, mainly, from? Pre or Power? @mechans It is so true! The key is the tube power amplifier and I said it before and seem few people will accept that points. When we talk about pre, SS pre vs Tube pre, case by case, brand by brand, there is no definitely advantage on tube. | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp Rega Cursa 3 pre and audio Research VT100 Mk III ( this model has rca input and I just do the test and if ok will move to Audio Research Ref 75se.) | |

| Describe your preference in a single sentence Get the "RIGHT" soundstage for youself. | |
| Audio Research I/50 I am sure there IS tube break in, but it is not 600 hours. | |
| 100W+ solid-state amps known for beautiful mids You want to found Quad's house soundstage from another brand of amplifier. That kind of search is very difficult, and in my opinion ,might not the right way. You just upgrade from Quad's brand and you will get what you have. | |
| Audio Research I/50 600 hours is talking about the amplifier break in and it is the one time event. | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp So that's it. I will feedback when I receive and install the transformer in my system. I tried the direct RCA to xlr cable before, and I can hear the soundstage is not good. | |
| Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp @atmasphere You suggest to use transformer isolation and you deny the way to use it. What is your opinion? Audio Research reply directly that I should use transformer coupled to connect RCA pre with their XLR only power amplifier. |
