| Good Low Level Resolution Speakers under $2K used. With your physical arrangement it will be tough to get great sound even though your equipment is quite good. Have you considered a laptop computer that would allow you to listen from the sweet spot? | |
| Capacitor-less amps All amplifiers have capacitors. I suppose theoretically one could be run off humongous batteries, but converting AC to DC will require capacitors. Many companies tout having no capacitors in the signal path. This requires an extra level of care as... | |
| RCA to pass X150? I believe the RCA to XLR adapters simply make it fit the XLR input. It does not turn the RCA signal into a true differential signal. The Pass definitely sounds better run in balanced mode but I imagine it would sound fine with your preamps.The Pas... | |

| preamp for aragon 8008st & Vandersteen 2ce sigs? I agree with the Audible Illusions recommendation. I had a 3D with Aragon 2004 and Vandersteen 2c, then Vandersteen 3. It sounded great - I wish I hadn't sold mine and gone Home Theater. |
