| Which direction would you go? Tom, the Threshold preamps are VERY revealing up top and are construed by many to sound "bright". As to their amps, many of the earlier designs are extremely "load sensitive". By this i mean that they can change tonal characteristics when presente... | |
| Fair market value of a turntable/arm/cartidge? Jeff, if you've recently started a business, you better talk to your accountant / tax consultant about the differences between a "draw" and a "paycheck". There is a BIG difference. I only mention this as you stated "i haven't drawn a paycheck in a... | |
| Preamp-phonostage selection for analog lover Scott, you added quite a bit to this thread as i was unaware that the Lehmann had two different gains that are switch selectable. Good to know for others that ask about such things. As to the other comments, I had forgot all about the AI Mod 3A. G... | |
| Preamp-phonostage selection for analog lover Barbara, good to see a woman joining our ranks, especially one that loves vinyl. I expect that you'll start seeing some marriage proposals via email sometime soon : )I would think that an ARC preamp would work well in your system. As to a specific... | |
| combining 3 channel and 2 channel amps I basically agree with Scott but would go so far as to say that I would HIGHLY suggest using your highest quality amp ( 8008st) for your mains and the three channel ( 8008X3 ) for your center and surrounds. Not only does this offer the best stereo... | |
| Gain for Moving Coil Cartridges Sheesh, as soon as i read your question, 60 dB's of gain came to mind. I guess that great mind's think alike : ) Sean> | |
| So how many people are using subwoofers Does anybody know if Entec is still in business ? Sean> | |
| So how many people are using subwoofers I think that you will get more out of the addition of a QUALITY sub(s) than you will an amplifier change. Keep in mind that this requires more physical room space, greater electrical demand, the aquisition of another amp and speaker cables if pass... | |
| What's the best sounding SS or Tube linestage pre? Gthrush1, i hardly think that anyone, regardless of income level, would place a $35K component on their short list of "good values". Sugar, as to the SW piece, i'm not really in the market for a preamp right now. As i said, it was strictly a matte... | |
| FMS Cables?? I have an FMS Digital Data cable ( MSRP + / - $300 @ 1 meter ). I found it a very definite step up from many other copper digital cables that i had tried. The main benefits were increased separation of instruments with less smearing or blur, more ... | |
| Where can I get RAM super low noise tubes? Roger, THANK YOU for responding. You have at the very least acknowledged and answered many of my questions. While i have nowhere near the experience or knowledge that you do, it is good to see that many of my thoughts and findings parallel yours.I... | |
| CD direct to amp vs active preamp I was just curious as to the various results. Thanks for taking the time to post and share your experiences and observations.Like Audiotomb, I have a DAC with two different sets of outputs. I can run direct via the built in shunt style stepped att... | |
| NEW Musical Fidelity DAC No volume control, multiple upsampling frequencies, coaxial and optical inputs ( no balanced ) and lists for $1195.I have to admit, i REALLY wish that they would have had someone other than "Mr Tellig" review it. This is not to say that i don't li... | |
| Buggtussel speakers: a "sleeper" hi- end spker? Stephen aka Quest, Greg is now writing for Stereotimes ??? Sean> | |
| I am picky about this, any suggestions??? I'm thinking that there is either a high quantity of system synergy and / or personal preference going on within VBA's situation. As such, Ohlala's comments are probably right on the money. My experience with the 5800 was that it was not that hard... |
