| what CD player between 1-2K I am absolutely delighted with my GamuT CDR which I believe sells used in your price range. I have enjoyed it for 2 yrs. I love opera, all classical music and jazz. All sound very natural and analog like to me. | |
| gamut audio d100 mkii ? I have been enjoying the GamuT D-100 Mk3 for about 2 years and love it. I had the Pass Aleph 5 before it, but the GamuT is better. This amp is very natural, 3 dimensional, dynamic, and life like musical from top to bottom with plenty of power for ... | |
| SS amp to match with deHavilland UltraVerve I am using the deHavilland Mercury with the GamuT D-100 Mk3 which is an absolutely wonderful combination (at the lower sensitivity setting). Whether the UltraVerve would be similar I do not know. | |
| Which SS amps sound like a tube amp? GamuT amps have many attributes of good tube amps particulary with an excellent tube preamp. The secret of the GamuT is a single switching MOSFET output device which means no matching problems and a "single voice". I listen to my Gamut Mk.3 with t... | |
| deHavilland "Mercury 2" Preamp - anyone? I have had the original Mercury for six months. After 40 years of being an audiophile, this is probably the most satisfying new component. For the first time I just listen to the music without analyzing! According to Kara the difference between th... | |

| Best Redbook player with XLR outs I failed to mention on my comments above regarding the GamuT, I use Cardas XLR RCA adapters to connect it to my deHavilland Mercury preamp, but still get the advantage of the amp used for the XLR output. I previously used the Pass X2.5 peamp total... | |
| Best Redbook player with XLR outs I also recommend the GamuT CD1R. I have enjoyed it for about 18 months. It seems to very accurately read and transmit the recordings. There is no digital grunge. The best recordings sound wonderful. As my other equipment gets better ie new deHavil... | |
| Review: deHavilland Electric Amp Mercury Tube preamp Bakti, I only compared the Mercury with the Pass Labs X2.5 which I enjoyed for 16 months. In my system the Pass was very transparent, dynamic, neutral, musical, smooth and had excellent resolution. I was probably 95% satisfied. I only tried the Me... | |
| Preamp Recommendations Lamm, Ayre K-1x, BAT 31SE I had a totally balanced system with GamuT CD1R, Pass X2.5 preamp, and GamuT Mk. 3 amp. This was an excellent combo. I then ventured into a tube preamp which is single ended (deHavilland Mercury class A, no negative feedback, triode design). I use... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? The GamuT D-200 Mk.3 SS amp is very musically authentic sounding and satisfying. This amp is in league with the finest sounding SS and tube amps in the world. It runs cool and built to last for decades. I could enjoy this as my last amp! | |

| SS amp mosfet 'haze' - ever experienced this? I have been using the GamuT D-100 Mk 3 for over a year and it is absolutely transparent and grainless.
