| Lively and Dynamic SS Preamp... thanks for the suggestions... i should have mentioned in my post that budget is around $2k new or used.if it matters, amp is Pass XA30.5 and speakers are Revel Gems. | |
| Pass XA30.5, X100.5, or Rowland 501 For Revel Gem hey chuck, the sale of the spectron was a bit of a snap decision - one i may very well come to regret! | |

| Tweaks to Add A Little Treble Emphasis... thanks for the suggestions, fellas. i'll check into them.al, i am balanced ICs from the preamp to the amp presently. perhaps switching from audio art to something all silver would add a little extra treble emphasis. | |
