| Vali 2 ++ as a preamp? I used the Vali as a preamp for a short time. I have a lot of good preamps but the Vali is not one of them. I have a little micro preamp that I bought long ago, and it is fabulous. I was hoping I could capture lightning again. No luck. I also have... | |
| What would you save in a fire? I have a lot of stuff. An entire lifetime of hobbies. The only blood relative I have left is one nephew. When I die, I will be soon forgotten. At this point in my life, I enjoy all my stuff, but it doesn't have any meaning to anybody else. Everyth... | |
| As good or better than Magnepan 3.7i LFT-8c | |
| To Fritz, Quicksilver, and all the exceptional makers trying to get the word out I bought a QS preamp at the end of last year. I had Cary SLP-98 F1, two Audio Research preamps, Schitt Kara, and others. The Cary is my favorite, but the QS is a very close second. No trouble using it in the best systems. If you consider price, it... | |
| Which DAC - Streamer or Preamp? Not to bag on your older Heresy but I did have Heresy IIIs. Not sure that's a system to tell minor differences. So yes, try all the ways you can hook it up and see what you think. | |

| Amp search What's wrong with the amp you have? | |
| Amp search You'll need a crossover to match levels. | |
| Is the microwave the perfect model for audio marketting? You just need an 8-year-old to show you how do everything with your phone. | |
| What is the advantage of being able to select the MONO button? If you are starting with a mono recording and a mono cartridge, use will only need one channel of the preamp and a mono amp with one speaker. But if you are playing through a stereo amp and two speakers it gets a little more complicated. For that... | |
| What % Of Your System Are Your Cables? I have interconnect cables ranging from around 400 bucks to about 80 bucks. But the bottom line is, I used the cable that sounds right for the gear that I'm hooking to. It ads up but I slowly built my inventory over time so never had a huge outlay. | |
| A question on amp matching You know the difference between a 400 watt amp and a 200 watt amp is only 3db. Just use the power output as a guide not as an absolute. | |
| Trying to find a passive attenuator with a mono/stereo switch and RCA in and RCA out It's a mistake to think your preamp is not important. A good preamp is key to a good system. Then you just need a stereo to mono converter network that you can buy at Amazon. | |
| Recommended amplification It just gives you an idea about how much power you might need. I'm with you though, I don't have much need for high power amps even though I'm sacrificing some bass control and loudness. | |
| Speakers for low-level listening Triangle Delta or Alphas. |
