| ARC REF 3, Nagra PSA, & Phase Inversion 4musica44107, May I ask what other preamps have you used with the Nagra PSA apart from the ARC Ref 3? Have you tried a passive pre with the PSA? What are you thoughts on other preamps used with the Nagra PSA? Thanks in advance. | |

| Rega p-5 cart upgrade Anybody who compared other superior carts to the Denon DL103 and Audio Technica AT33PTG on a P5 please let me know. I am currently using the DL103 and have the AT33PTG on the way. Don't have any clue on what to expect with the new cart and was jus... | |
| Integrated Amplifier for Paradigm Signature S4 Our Paradigm dealer uses Rega amps to drive their range of speakers. Great sound. | |
| New DAC for Arcam 7SE John_z has given more than two cents. Great advice. To add to the above, all options will yield a sonic improvement and it is just a matter of choosing one that is in line with your priorities in getting the most substantial sonic improvement at a... | |
| New DAC for Arcam 7SE I am not familiar with Castle hence not too sure which amp will match the speakers well. However, a few integrateds that are worth considering include the YBA Integre DT, Plinius 9200, Krell KAV-400XI/S300i and Musical Fidelity A308. Even the chea... | |
| Importance Of Power Supply : Transformer Ratings Thanks for the informative link. It appears that peak voltage of power supplies is important in reproducing large transients with a recommended 120V. I suppose we can't check this as most amp manufacturers don't publish this figure in the specs. I... | |
| Importance Of Power Supply : Transformer Ratings Thanks for the responses. I do know that the general rule of thumb in selecting an amp with a good power supply is by the weight of it. I am just not too sure if we can judge the quality of power supply through the numbers which most amp manufactu... | |

| Is a Sub worth the bother? A find subwoofers to be very important for speakers that don't go too low. They will often make an appreciable if not substantial difference to the overall presentation of the music with a more solid foundation. I concur with most thoughts here in... | |
| New DAC for Arcam 7SE Hi, this may not be related to your question. You may discern an appreciable difference with the V-DAC or you may not. I have owned the Arcam Alpha 8 CD player which should have quite a similar sound to the 7SE. It's a good player at its price poi... | |
| Can Denon DL103 Cartridge Match RB700 Arm? Thanks for the responses. I am not into tweaking stuff so I will leave the Rega RB700 arm as it is. I have read that the DL103 cart will work better with a heavier arm. Will the Audio Technica AT33PTG ideally work with the RB700 without any tweaks... | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? If I"m not mistaken the Luxman 550 is a Class A. Although I have not listened to any Luxman amps, I have read that the Luxman will match well with warmer speakers like the Harbeth. The Leben CS600 has excellent resolution and transparency with ext... | |
| Harbeth HL5 with JF Capri / Model 102 Kiza, sorry to hijack this thread. May I know if the Luxman L505 that was used to drive the SHL5 was a 505f or 505u? What other amps have been compared to the Luxman? Thanks in advance. | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? Thanks for the response Bongofury. Can you be little specific when you mentioned the LFD is not in the same league? In what areas you thought the L-505 were better than the LFD? In terms of resolution, transparency and airiness in the mids which u... |
